Has Roman Reigns' WWE return date already been confirmed? Finding out if the internet rumor is true

Roman Reigns lost the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40, and fans immediately began speculating whether he would go on a hiatus after the defeat. The Tribal Chief didn't appear on the RAW after 'Mania, and it is unclear when he will return to television.

Reigns is rumored to appear on the SmackDown before WWE SummerSlam on August 2, 2024, but that is as per press time. Unfortunately, the Stamford-based promotion has not made any announcements or advertised him for the show.

WWE has currently advertised Bayely, Bobby Lashley, IYO SKY, Jade Cargill, LA Knight, and Bianca Belair to appear on the SmackDown before The Biggest Party of the Summer. Since Reigns' appearance is not officially advertised on WWE's website, his status remains uncertain.

As of now, both The Rock and Roman Reigns are expected to be away from WWE television. The Rock will resume his Hollywood schedule while The Tribal Chief may take some time off to prepare for his massive comeback.
