Where Is Roman Reigns? 3 PPV Events Which Can Mark OTC’s Return
Roman Reigns, aka ‘The Original Tribal Chief,’ has been absent from WWE since the RAW night following WrestleMania 41. After an unforgettable betrayal by his wiseman, Paul Heyman, at WrestleMania earlier this year, he returned to confront him and his new boss, Seth Rollins. However, after a brutal ambush by Bron Breakker, the new stablemate of Rollins and Heyman, the OTC went off the television and is still missing.
As MITB 2025 came and went on June 7 without a sign of the Tribal Chief, WWE fans have been buzzing about when and where he might finally re-emerge.
In this article, we will discuss three major WWE PPV events that offer the shock and scale ideal for a Tribal Chief comeback.
3. SummerSlam 2025: Most Unlikely But Still A Great Choice
If there’s ever a stage made for Roman Reigns to return, it’s SummerSlam, and this year’s two-night spectacle at MetLife Stadium makes it even more perfect. The atmosphere and the scale scream Tribal Chief-level drama.
With John Cena holding the title and Cody Rhodes still in the mix, Roman’s return could flip the entire title scene on its head. Whether he enters the title scene directly or toys with rivals from the shadows, the possibilities remain wide open.
But the real hook? The Bloodline. Solo Sikoa, who has seen Jacob Fatu turn against him, failed to capture MITB. Roman may now align with either of Solo Sikoa and Jacub Fatu and step in to confront or reclaim what’s his.
Fans can see an explosive power struggle between The OTC Roman Reigns and Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins.
2. Survivor Series: WarGames: Best PPV For Roman Reigns To Return
If WWE opts for the long play, WarGames is perfect. Just like last year, Roman Reigns and his new bloodline (or maybe new Shield) may return to face off Seth Rollins’ new faction, including Bron Breaker and Bronson Reed, accompanied by Hall of Famer Paul Heyman.
With chaos baked in and the WWE likely fractured further by then, Roman’s return here would feel massive.
Will he return to save the WWE and regain his top spot in the company? That’s the drama fans eat up. Plus, it places him perfectly for a Royal Rumble to WrestleMania 42 arc.
1. Roman Reigns Return: The Sooner, The Better At Night of Champions
Saudi Arabia events love big returns, and Roman has headlined many of them. Night of Champions could be his first move, not a match, maybe just a moment.
A lights-out tease, a silent walk to the ramp, or even a vignette would be enough. It wouldn’t rush the story, but it would let fans know: he’s watching. Roman’s shadow could start looming large with Seth Rollins still growing into leadership.
What Can The Fans Expect?
Whether it’s a pop in MetLife, a surprise in Jeddah, or a storm inside WarGames, Roman Reigns’ return isn’t just about timing. It’s about making a statement.
