The Big Dog is back to claim his yard!

Vince McMahon confirmed that Roman Reigns will be on Raw to inform about his progress in the battle with Leukemia. The Big Dog got everyone in tears when he relinquished the Universal Championship on the 22nd October 2018 episode of Monday Night Program. The leader of The Shield is respected within the wrestling industry and WWE, and when the news broke, the performers within the company couldn't be more pleased to hear about his health. The Twitterati and Social Media, in general, was happy about the return of the former Universal Champion.

While the state of his health is still unknown, some other wrestlers are already healed and have been waiting for a return for a long time. The return of these performers will be a value add as there are some performers that are still injured or recently injured, like Drew McIntyre and the company needs a good and healthy roster with the Grandest Stage of them all quickly approaching.

With that in mind, let's take a look at 4 performers that can return and make a compelling storyline with Roman Reigns:

#4 Sami Zayn

Will he return?
Will he return?

Sami Zayn has been out of action since last year Money In The Bank pay-per-view and has been healing. There were reports that he will return soon, as promos of his return were released by WWE following TLC, but were then removed, as there was no clear information on the same.

With his torn rotator cuffs currently healed, it would be a great idea to bring him back and have a storyline with The Big Dog. Sami can play the heel character to perfection, and it would be a good idea to see him in the ring against the most polarizing figure in WWE. There are a host of people that love Roman Reigns, while the other despise him, and therefore a storyline with Roman Reigns will be a value add for the returning superstar as well as The Big Dog.

#3 Kevin Owens

KO-Show will happen soon

Kevin Owens has been providing his services as a vlogger from home during his healing process, and while videos of him returning soon were released by the WWE right after TLC, the KO-Show hasn't officially begun on the main roster.

The promos done by Kevin are opposite of what Daniel Bryan believes in, and so it is a possibility that the two will fight after Wrestlemania, but if he returns within time, a storyline involving Roman Reigns will be good for him. The Canadian wrestler is good on the mic and can build up any feud in quick time. He can pull off any segment in a matter of moments, and so it is a good idea if he returns in time, and challenges The Big Dog. This will be great storytelling, and the WWE Universe will be anxiously waiting for this storyline to transpire on weekly shows.

#2 Luke Harper

Will I return?
Will I return?

Luke Harper has been healed for a long time, and there was information that the former Wyatt Family member would return at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Instead, Erick Rowan returned and sided with the current fickle WWE champion Daniel Bryan.

The storyline has been doing well, and unless the company wants to add someone to the mix, Luke Harper can go his own way and be a singles performer in a long time. The best way would be to get into a feud with Roman Reigns or other relevant segments. With Roman Reigns being the most important character in the WWE now, it would be a great idea if Luke gets to restart his career with the returning Big Dog.

A good storyline will be a great idea, but we need to see if the company approves of the same, and we see some amazing action in the ring between the two performers.

#1 Bray Wyatt

Eater of Worlds
Eater of Worlds

The Eater of Worlds was the hottest commodity in the WWE when he was leading The Wyatt Family into attacking his fellow performers in the ring. Things changed, and the wrestler has been out of action for a long time. It was first reported that he was injured, and then when he felt better his tag team partner Matt Hardy was injured leaving no reason for him to return instantly.

Bray appeared at Starrcade, but his return was halted as he was a part of a car accident and needed time to regroup. With the work already done, and Bray in great condition to return, a feud with Roman Reigns would go a long way. The two have a history as well which would add to the storyline as well. This will be the start of something amazing, and the company shouldn't refrain from making this storyline a reality.
