Roman Reigns to return WWE after defeating Cody Rhodes, skipping Night of Champions event

Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is preparing for his return to the ring following his victory over Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39. The Tribal Chief will be competing at a live event this Saturday, with fans eager to see him back in action.

Rare House Show Appearance

Reigns has been working on a limited schedule over the last year and is rarely seen at house shows. His last non-televised match was on March 4, when he defended his world titles against Sami Zayn in Toronto, Canada. However, Roman Reigns is set to compete at an upcoming house show in Fayetteville, North Carolina, at the Crown Complex on Saturday, May 20.

Limited Televised Appearances

In addition to his infrequent house show appearances, The Head of the Table’s televised presence has also been limited. He made his return to WWE programming on last week’s SmackDown but has not donned his wrestling boots since defeating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39.

Action at WWE Night of Champions

Roman Reigns’ return to SmackDown was full of twists and turns as he berated The Usos for losing the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championship to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Paul Heyman announced that at the Night of Champions event, the Tag Team Titles will come home to The Bloodline. However, it will be Reigns and Solo Sikoa who will compete for the title and not The Usos. As the Universal Champion at WWE’s upcoming Premium Live Event, The Tribal Chief will be looking to add more championships to his resume.
