Roman Reigns was taken out of action by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed at Clash in Paris last month, but it seems that the former World Champion is still in good spirits.

Reigns has been spotted for the first time since the attack in Australia at a birthday party for Street Fighter director Kitao Sakurai. The OTC was spotted at a joint birthday party for Kitao and Sanu, looking much better than he did on August 31.

Reigns was written off TV after the attack so that he could head to Australia to begin filming the live-action Street Fighter movie, where he plays Akuma. Cody Rhodes has recently returned from Australia, where he spent several weeks filming the movie in the role of Guile.

Rhodes missed Clash in Paris due to his filming schedule outside of WWE, and also because it was revealed that the World Champion and his wife, Brandi Rhodes, welcomed their second daughter last month.

The American Nightmare made his return to TV this week on SmackDown, attacking Drew McIntyre and preventing him from assaulting Randy Orton. The Scottish Warrior was about to deliver a Claymore through the announce table to Orton, just like he did to Rhodes last month.

A match has now been set up between the two men for Wrestlepalooza, which takes place in less than a week on September 20.

Roman Reigns is taking an extended break from WWE

WWE has addressed Roman Reigns' absence following the attack by noting that he is sidelined "indefinitely," which means that there is no timeline for his return. At present, the focus is on John Cena and Brock Lesnar, as well as Cody and AJ Lee's return, which allows the OTC to take some time away.

Roman Reigns is expected to miss Wrestlepalooza and could skip Crown Jewel in Australia next month, but the likelihood is that he will be back to be part of Survivor Series WarGames.
