WWE has stirred up excitement by posting a new video titled Thrilling SummerSlam Returns on its official YouTube channel, intensifying rumors about Seth Rollins making a major comeback. The video revisits dramatic moments from past SummerSlam events, setting the stage for speculation about who might next return to the ring during this year’s event.
Highlights of Past Return Moments Featured in the Video
The video begins by recalling last year’s SummerSlam, where Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa lay exhausted in the ring. Just as tension peaks, a pounding drumbeat announces the return of Roman Reigns, though his full appearance is teased only briefly before the screen fades to black. It then rewinds to Reigns’ first comeback in 2020, chronicling his rise as the Tribal Chief.
In that memorable return, Reigns attacked The Fiend Bray Wyatt immediately after Wyatt reclaimed the Universal Championship, delivering multiple spears and forcing Braun Strowman out of the match as well. Wearing his signature Wreck Everyone & Leave T-shirt, Reigns confidently declared his dominance.
Neither of you are here without me,
he said, then added,
I’m the man. I’m the guy.
The video also recalls Becky Lynch’s surprise return at SummerSlam 2021, where she challenged Bianca Belair and quickly reclaimed the SmackDown Women’s Title. However, the rivalry took another turn the next year when Belair defeated Lynch to retain the Raw Women’s Title, only to be interrupted by Bayley’s unexpected comeback alongside Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky.
Controversial Returns and Legal Issues Add to the Drama
One striking feature of the video is the inclusion of Brock Lesnar’s 2021 return, which adds a controversial edge given recent revelations. UFC champion Daniel Cormier has stated that Lesnar is reportedly on a banned list maintained by WWE’s parent company, TKO. This development arises amid a lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant, accusing Vince McMahon of abuse and trafficking, with Lesnar allegedly involved in contract dealings connected to the case. Lesnar has yet to comment publicly on these accusations.
Speculation Grows About Seth Rollins and the Upcoming SummerSlam
While the video acknowledges several notable comebacks, it leaves WWE fans guessing about the next big surprise. The inclusion of these past returns fuels expectations that Seth Rollins may soon make his mark again, potentially by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract at this year’s SummerSlam. Rollins’ return could become a pivotal moment, reshaping storylines and intensifying rivalries going forward.
With the SummerSlam WWE returns speculation mounting, fans are watching closely for any sign of Rollins stepping back into the spotlight amid the event’s high stakes and historic moments.
