Roman Reigns made his big return to WWE this week, but one legend has a problem with it

A WWE legend has a problem with Roman Reigns's big return on RAW this week. The Tribal Chief made his first WWE appearance since Clash in Paris, when he was brutally attacked by The Vision.

Reigns came out during the main event that saw The Usos take on Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker in a Tornado tag team match. The OTC1 attacked Reed and Breakker with a steel chair, allowing his cousins to pick up the win.

While his return was loved by the fans, WWE veteran Bully Ray questioned the booking. On the Busted Open Podcast, he said that Reigns coming out save The Usos when the odds were even didn't make sense.

"Somebody should have done something to warrant Roman coming to the ring...If Paul Heyman came in the ring with a flamethrower and then Roman Reigns would have come down to save the day, I understand it. My point is this: Why is it okay for the babyface to just come down and save the babyface team because they were in peril from the heel team that both teams agreed to be in this match?" he said.

Bully Ray added that The Usos being one of the most accomplished tag teams in WWE and needing Reigns's help in an agreed-upon match didn't look good.

"If Roman Reigns doesn’t come to the ring last night, the Usos lose that match. That’s why I have a problem with Roman coming down without righting a wrong, or coming to even the odds, or coming down to help these guys because somebody was going to get involved that didn’t belong in that match," he added.

Roman Reigns shared a message after his return

At Clash in Paris, Reigns beat Bronson Reed in a one-on-one match. However, he was then brutally attacked by Reed and Breakker, leading to him being carried out on a stretcher.

This was done to write him off TV as he began filming for the Street Fighter movie. Now, after his return to WWE, he shared a message on Instagram.

The Regain. ☝🏽," he wrote.

It will be exciting for fans to see how WWE plans to book Roman Reigns in the coming weeks with Crown Jewel and Survivor Series looming as the next big events.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
