Earlier in the week, WWE teased the possibility of drafting Roman Reigns back to Monday Night Raw and shortly afterward, the biggest acquisition on SmackDown Live history took to Twitter himself and noted that he will indeed be making a return to Raw this week.

Reigns took to Twitter and announced that despite being a part of SD Live, he still has some unfinished business to take care of over on Monday Night Raw. And in another recent tweet, 'The Big Dog' announced that he will indeed be kicking things off this week on Raw, meaning that the former Universal Champion is indeed heading back to the red brand this Monday night.

However, as of right now, we and the majority of the WWE Universe are still not sure why WWE has all of a sudden announced Reigns' return to Raw and the possibilities upon the return of the former World Champion are endless.

Nevertheless, with the Raw roster currently filled with talented men, Reigns could possibly pick a fight against someone from the red brand, given that 'The Big Dog' never backs down from a challenge. However, Reigns could also make any sort of other monumental challenge and in this article, I'll take an in-depth look at 5 things Roman Reigns could possibly do on this week's edition of Raw.


#5 Call out Brock Lesnar

With Brock Lesnar recently confirming his retirement from the sport of Mixed Martial Arts, a return to the WWE for 'The Beast Incarnate' has been perfectly set up and with Roman Reigns heading back to Raw, chances are that 'The Big Dog' might be the first person to welcome Lesnar back to the company.

Lesnar hasn't been seen since his shocking title defeat to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35 and if Reigns is to pick a fight upon his return to Raw, then what better way other than to re-ignite his rivalry with 'The Beast' and eventually confirm a rematch between the two in Saudi Arabia.

#4 Insert himself into the Universal Championship picture

Triple Threat turned reality?

AJ Styles is currently the #1 contender for the WWE Universal Championship. With Styles having defeated the likes of Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre on Raw a few weeks ago, 'The Phenomenal One' has now earned himself a shot at the Universal Title for the very first time.

Styles, who was recently drafted to Raw, will be challenging Seth Rollins at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view. However, there is one another certain person who also deserves a shot at the Universal Title, more or less.

If you all would recall, Reigns never really lost the Universal Title in the first place and eventually vacated the belt due to his battle against leukemia. This would be the perfect place for Reigns to enter himself into the Universal Title picture, turning it into a possible triple threat and maybe into an eventual singles match against either AJ Styles or Seth Rollins in Saudi Arabia.

#3 Call out Goldberg

Who's next?

WWE has announced the return of former Universal Champion, Goldberg, who will be stepping into the squared circle for the very first time since WrestleMania 33 when he lost his World Title to Brock Lesnar in what was also Goldberg's first clean singles loss.

The WWE Hall of Famer is now confirmed to be making his return to the company once again, as WWE gets set for another major show in Saudi Arabia on the 7th of June. And with Goldberg's monumental return to the WWE, the former Universal Champion is definitely going to be facing a credible and formidable opponent upon his return.

Who better than the Grand Slam Champion, Roman Reigns himself? During Goldberg's last run in the WWE, a potential feud against 'The Big Dog' was massively teased by the WWE but that never really happened and all the WWE Universe got was a Double Spear from both Goldberg and Reigns to Braun Strowman.

Now could be the perfect time for 'The Big Dog' to call out Goldberg and challenge him to a singles match in Saudi Arabia.

#2 Officially disband The Shield

Dean Ambrose is now gone from WWE and his farewell tour in the company recently came to an end. However, much to everyone's shock, the former WWE Champion surprised the entire Pro Wrestling world when he released a jaw-dropping clip of his on Twitter, announcing the official return of the one and only, Jon Moxley.

Yep, with the return of the madman Jon Moxley, it is now unlikely that Dean Ambrose will be returning to the WWE, well at least not for a while, and it also puts rest to the rumors of this being a potential work by the WWE.

Nevertheless, with Ambrose now long gone from the WWE, Reigns could possibly kick start Raw with the announcement on the official disbanding of The Shield, as he and Seth Rollins could very well leave their Shield tactical vests in the ring for the one final time as the WWE Universe will bid farewell to The Hounds of Justice.

#1 Ignite an invasion angle between SmackDown Live and Monday Night Raw

An invasion angle is pretty much the last thing the WWE Universe would expect at this stage, given that the Superstar Shake-Up recently got concluded and we are still in the aftermath to WrestleMania 35.

However, an invasion angle is exactly what the WWE Universe has been hoping to witness for years now, given how terrible the first WCW/ECW/WWE invasion angle back in 2002 was. With Roman Reigns being the biggest acquisition on SmackDown Live history, 'The Big Dog' could possibly start off the brand supremacy war between the blue brand and the red brand.

And, with The Wrestling Observer recently reporting the fact that WWE could very plan on an invasion angle with 'The Big Dog' starting things off in style this week on Raw, maybe we are in for yet another interesting invasion angle after all.

Nevertheless, we'll have to wait for a while and see what Roman Reigns has in store for all of us and the WWE Universe around the world this Monday.
