Roman Reigns will open the October 6 episode of WWE Raw. The American Airlines Center confirmed the news on social media, announcing that the show will start with his appearance.
His return comes after last week’s Raw, where Reigns showed up for the first time in nearly a month. He appeared in the main event, a Tornado Tag Team Match featuring The Usos against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Reigns attacked both Breakker and Reed with steel chair shots, allowing The Usos to score the pinfall win.
The attack was payback. Reigns had been taken out of action weeks earlier, when Breakker and Reed assaulted him after his match at WWE Clash in Paris on August 31.
After Raw, Reigns posted a short message on Instagram: “The Regain.” WWE later released a video that extended the story, showing a tense in-ring conversation between Reigns and Jey Uso.
“What’d I tell you? This is your show. F–k all of ’em. It’s only about you. It’s only about us. Don’t ever forget. Take everybody out. This is the only thing that ever mattered, do you understand?” Reigns told his cousin before embracing him. Jimmy Uso watched from a distance, hinting at friction within the family.
Reigns’ promo will set the stage for a packed show, which also features CM Punk’s return to Raw, Becky Lynch vs. Maxxine Dupri, and Lyra Valkyria vs. Roxanne Perez.
