Roman Reigns has returned!

At SummerSlam, Roman Reigns made his long-awaited return to WWE since his departure in April when The Big Dog was replaced by Braun Strowman in his WWE Universal Championship Match with Goldberg.

Reigns would return right where he left off — in the Universal Championship picture, as he delivered a Spear from out of nowhere to newly-crowned champion The Fiend, before annihilating both Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman after an absence of more than four months from the company.

Roman Reigns had been poised to dethrone the WCW icon and two-time Universal Champion after Goldberg controversially defeated The Fiend at Super ShowDown, with The Big Dog laying down the challenge the following night. Instead, Reigns would be replaced in the match that had been dubbed Spear vs. Spear by The Monster Among Men, who has held the WWE Universal Championship ever since.
