Roman Reigns Set to Reignite Historic Rivalry at Elimination Chamber

Roman Reigns has been absent from WWE programming since his elimination from the Men’s Royal Rumble match. During that match, CM Punk eliminated Reigns despite their previous alliance, which visibly surprised the former champion. The situation worsened when Seth Rollins delivered two stomps to Reigns’ head.

According to reports, the storyline involving Rollins taking out The Original Tribal Chief was designed to keep Reigns off television. Sources indicate WWE had no immediate creative plans for him at the upcoming Toronto-based premium live event.

The recent developments between The Rock and Cody Rhodes may create an opportunity for Reigns’ return. On SmackDown, The Rock proposed that he could make Rhodes’ family dreams come true if Rhodes gave him his “soul” and became his champion. Rhodes is scheduled to respond to this offer at Elimination Chamber.

This scenario creates potential tension between The Rock and Roman Reigns. Earlier this year, The Final Boss acknowledged Reigns as The Undisputed Tribal Chief and presented him with the Ula Fala during RAW’s Netflix debut. Given this history, Reigns might take issue with The Rock making offers to Rhodes without consulting him first.

A potential return at Elimination Chamber could set up a complex dynamic between Reigns, The Rock, and Rhodes heading into WrestleMania season. This would add another layer to the developing storyline between The Rock and Rhodes while reintroducing Reigns to the championship picture.

The possibility of Reigns confronting The Rock remains speculative at this time, with no official confirmation from WWE regarding his return timeline.
