Everything we know about Roman Reigns' likely WWE return at SummerSlam 2024

Roman Reigns' supposed return at SummerSlam 2024 is the most awaited moment for the premium live event. Fans are coming together at Cleveland Browns Stadium to witness babyface Roman Reigns take a stand against the new ruthless Bloodline led by Solo Sikoa.

Before his rumored return, let's focus on the information already present with the WWE Universe and what it means for The Biggest Party of the Summer.

Solo Sikoa has called out Roman Reigns multiple times

It's important to note that Reigns will return at an event where Cody Rhodes will be present. When it comes down to a situation between revenge and the task at hand, the former Undisputed WWE Champion does seem to lean toward revenge.

In fact, choosing to hit Seth Rollins with a steel chair at WrestleMania XL over taking down Cody Rhodes is what cost Roman Reigns the title. Hence, one may wonder if Reigns will end up attacking Rhodes instead of Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam 2024.

While that is a possibility, Reigns is likely to focus on the task at SummerSlam. Solo Sikoa has called out Roman Reigns multiple times and used humiliating words for the former Bloodline leader.

Furthermore, Sikoa disrespected, assaulted, and kicked out Paul Heyman from the faction, possibly the last straw for Reigns. This time, revenge against Rhodes isn't as important as standing against Solo Sikoa.

The stipulation for Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa will lead to interference at SummerSlam

On the final SmackDown before SummerSlam, The American Nightmare reminded Solo Sikoa that he defeated Roman Reigns in a Bloodline Rules match at WrestleMania while Sikoa claimed Reigns was weak.

Following that, Sikoa and Rhodes agreed to set the same stipulation for their match at the upcoming premium live event. Since it will be a Bloodline Rules match, everything is good to go, from weapons to interferences.

Hence, fans can expect more than one interference during Solo Sikoa vs. Cody Rhodes, and there is a high possibility that Roman Reigns will run the final interference to ensure Solo Sikoa does not dethrone The American Nightmare.

Roman Reigns will have a new nickname once he returns

Before SummerSlam 2020, Reigns was known as 'The Big Dog'. Since then till now, he has been known as 'The Tribal Chief.' Considering Solo Sikoa is gunning for the same nickname, Roman Reigns will reportedly be given a new one.

Since The Tribal Chief is supposed to be a heel and Solo Sikoa is also one at the moment, Roman Reigns' babyface turn at The Biggest Party of the Summer will be marked with him being known as 'The Original Tribal Chief.' This will put him directly against Solo Sikoa while building their rivalry.
