A recent report from WrestleVotes states that WWE has begun making plans for the return of “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns. Reigns has not been seen since losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 41 and has been on a part-time schedule for the company for some time.

The report claims that not only has a timeline been discussed for his return, but that new merchandise and marketing have been created for his eventual comeback. While it was initially pitched to have him return at Night of Champions, the decision was made to have him come back after that event, but before SummerSlam, where he is expected to have a "pivotal" role.

Here is my speculation. After the events of this past weekend at Night of Champions, it seems that the perfect way to bring back Reigns is to have him align with Jacob Fatu. With Solo Sikoa bringing in more members of The Bloodline to attack Fatu and the announcers asking who could possibly help him, it seems like that would be the role for Reigns. A tag team with Jacob Fatu and an eventual breakup seems like a very enticing storyline.

Reigns has recently been confirmed as playing Akuma in the upcoming Street Fighter movie reboot.

10 Most Emotional Returns After Career-Threatening Injuries

Mick Foley famously said that wrestling isn't about how many great matches you have... it's how many classic moments you can create. Few moments in pro wrestling can compare to a return after injury, especially when that injury threatens to end a top talent's career far too early.

Just think about the moment Edge returned to WWE at the 2020 Royal Rumble. His career had been over for nine years, he'd suffered a serious neck injury that require triple fusion surgery... it was an absolute impossibility for Edge to return, right?

"Once the music hit, and that reaction... I mean, I truly feel like I could have beat King Kong's ass," Edge told ESPN about his 2020 surprise return. "It was all surreal, kind of like a dream sequence, but everything's so focused and hyper-focused that I can't really explain it. But I think when you look at the video of me walking out, I think you see it in my eyes."

Iconic moments like these only come once in a while, but they're unforgettable every time! Check out these incredibly emotional moments when wrestlers returned after suffering career-threatening injuries.
