Roman Reigns Makes a Grand Return on Raw to Set Up a Probable Tag Team Match at SummerSlam
'The OTC' is finally back to rule his yard once again. On the July 14th segment of Monday Night Raw,
Roman Reigns
made his grand return in the aftermath of the Gauntlet match to close out the show ahead of the first-ever 2-night SummerSlam.
The former Undisputed Champion made his first television appearance after being taken out by Bron Breakker on Raw after WrestleMania 41.
The crowd went bananas as Reigns made his way to the ring to settle his score with Seth Rollins' henchmen and rescued a battered CM Punk and
Jey Uso
in the process.
Roman Reigns Takes Out Seth Rollins' Henchmen and Saves the Day
In the show's main event, Gauntlet match, CM Punk punched his ticket to SummerSlam to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship.
And he did it by surviving the inhuman strength of Bron Breakker, who started the match and lasted for around 40 minutes. In the dying moments of the contest, Bronson Reed attacked Punk, after which Jey Uso ran out to make the save.
As a result, Punk was able to hit the GTS on Breakker and pick up the win. However, the assault wasn't over. Breakker and Reed continued their attack on Uso and Punk. And that's when Reigns' music hit and 'The OTC' walked out to the centre with intent in his eyes.
Reigns took out Reed with a vicious Superman punch and then took down Breakker as well.
The 330-pounder attacked Reigns from behind, but Reigns converted it into a Samoan drop. He then took revenge by hitting Breakker with a Superman punch, followed by a spear for good measure. With the ring cleared, Reigns helped his cousin Jey Uso to his feet before having a staredown with Punk, who was still in the corner.
The slow closed with Breakker, Reed, and Paul Heyman watching in horror as 'The OTC' and Uso stood tall. This segment pointed towards a bumper tag team match with Reigns and Uso probably slated to take on Breakker and Reed. Alternatively, it could be a singles contest between Reigns and Breakker, depending on how things unfold with just two weeks left until SummerSlam. With Seth Rollins out of the picture due to an injury, it will be interesting to see how this rivalry pans out.

Harbhajan Singh, Pathan Brothers Pull Out Of WCL Game Vs Pakistan: Reports
Harbhajan Singh has withdrawn from the World Championship of Legends game against Pakistan amid to public backlash. Harbhajan Singh, Ifran Pathan and Yusuf Pathan have reportedly withdrawn their names from the upcoming World Championship of Legends (WCL) game against Pakistan, after facing severe public backlash. Multiple reports suggest that he has made the decision considering the sour political relations between the country after the Pahalgam attack. India and Pakistan don't play bilateral cricket against each other. There were calls to end all multi-national tournament meetings between the two, as well, after the Pahalgam attack and the ensuing cross-border escalation that saw several Indian lives lost. 'My heart goes out to family members of all those who lost their lives in the dastardly attack. This can't be forgiven," Harbhajan wrote at the time. The current head coach, Gautam Gambhir, was one of many who asked India to cut all ties, bilateral or not, with the neighbors. Whereas, the India Champions captain in WCL, Yuvraj Singh, Shikhar Dhawan and others engaged in social media wars with the likes of Shahid Afridi over their anti-India commentary. The same cricketers became the centre of public anger after it was revealed that Afridi was part of the Pakistani team. Some reports suggest that other Indian cricketers might pull out from the tournament, too. What is WCL and who owns it? The league is co-owned by rapper and artist Harshit Tomar and Bollywood star Ajay Devgan. The league's website mentions Tomar as the CEO, while both have been seen together in promotional events. India's WCL Squad Shikhar Dhawan, Robin Uthappa (WK), Ambati Rayudu, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh (C), Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan, Stuart Binny, Vinay Kumar, Harbhajan Singh, Piyush Chawla, Siddarth Kaul, Abhimanyu Mithun and Varun Aaron Who are the other participants? The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) doesn't allow contracted or active Indian men's cricketers to participate in such private leagues (except state-association ones) in the country or outside. Hence, these 'Legends' leagues — there are several of them — contract retired cricketers from all around the globe. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
