When Will Roman Reigns Return to WWE? New Report Has Fans Buzzing
It feels like forever since we’ve seen Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar on WWE programming, doesn’t it? One has been enjoying his part-time god-status, and the other is probably off somewhere wrestling a bear or something equally Lesnar-like. Their absence has left a noticeable void, a sort of quiet before the inevitable storm. But if the wrestling rumor mill is to be believed, the quiet is about to end, and things are about to get very loud, very quickly.
Let’s be real, WWE without Reigns and Lesnar is like a movie without its main event stars. Sure, the supporting cast is great, but you’re always waiting for the big guns to show up and cause some chaos. Lesnar was last seen taking on—of all people—John Cena at SummerSlam, while Reigns had his last dance at Crown Jewel against Bronson Reed. Since then? Crickets.
But hold on to your championship belts, because wrestling’s most famous whisperer, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, has dropped some tantalizing breadcrumbs for us to follow. According to Meltzer, not only is Lesnar’s return on the horizon, but both he and our favorite Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, could be making a blockbuster comeback as soon as next week.
Will Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar Return at Madison Square Garden?
Get ready for some delicious speculation. The latest word from Meltzer suggests that the November 17th episode of Monday Night Raw, broadcasting live from the legendary Madison Square Garden, is the place to watch. MSG shows are always a big deal for WWE; they treat it like their home turf, and they love to stack the deck with surprises.
“I think Roman will probably show up at The Garden. I think Lesnar will probably show up at The Garden,” Meltzer predicted. He went on to speculate about their roles, adding, “Lesnar on the heel side, Roman on the babyface side.”
Imagine the pop. The roof of MSG would probably launch into orbit. Lesnar returning to his natural habitat of causing destruction, and Reigns… on the babyface side? That’s a twist worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster. After years of us acknowledging him as the villainous Head of the Table, seeing Roman Reigns fight for the good guys again would be a storyline swerve for the ages. It’s the kind of shake-up that WWE desperately needs to keep things from getting stale.

What Does This Mean for Survivor Series: WarGames?
The timing of this rumored return is, of course, no coincidence. We’re on the fast track to Survivor Series: WarGames, and both teams are still missing a few key players. As of now, the men’s match is shaping up with CM Punk, Jey Uso, and Cody Rhodes on one side, facing off against Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed.
If Meltzer’s inside scoop is accurate, we could see Reigns join Punk’s squad and Lesnar align with the opposing team. This isn’t just adding star power; it’s like pouring gasoline on an already raging fire. The potential dynamics are mind-boggling.
Roman Reigns teaming up with CM Punk and his own cousin, Jey Uso? The promos alone would be worth the price of admission. On the other side, Brock Lesnar joining forces with a monster like Bronson Reed and the explosive Bron Breakker creates a team that looks like it was designed in a lab to inflict maximum damage.
This is the kind of chaos we live for as wrestling fans. It’s unpredictable, it’s exciting, and it makes Survivor Series a can’t-miss event. The thought of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar going to war inside that unforgiving steel structure is enough to give anyone goosebumps. Will they be the final pieces of the puzzle for WarGames?
All signs point to a massive reveal at Madison Square Garden. So, do yourself a favor: cancel your plans for next Monday. This is one episode of Raw you won’t want to miss. The Tribal Chief and The Beast Incarnate might just be on their way back, and when they arrive, all hell is going to break loose. Acknowledge that.
