Roman Reigns spotted off-duty after vanishing from WWE post-WrestleMania
was spotted in his first appearance after being assaulted at WrestleMania 41. Roman Reigns did not have the best of WrestleMania season this year. He lost in the main event of Night 1 of the show and faced betrayal from his trusted Wiseman, Paul Heyman. Moreover, his last appearance on television also did not end well and he has been absent since that night. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For the first time in months, The OTC has been spotted in public. Roman Reigns stepped out casually outside WWE In a post on Instagram, a fan was spotted posing with Roman Reigns in Hollywood, Florida. He went low key wearing a casual blue shirt and black shorts and posed with the fan. The fan captioned, 'Practicing my pins and my poses@romanreigns #WWE #tribalchief.' Roman Reigns has been absent from WWE television programming since the night after WrestleMania 41. On that night, he came out in the closing segment of the show to confront Paul Heyman, and the man who corrupted him to betray Reigns, Seth "Freakin" Rollins. The Tribal Chief got the upper handhand for a bit, but was taken down by the newest Paul Heyman Guy, Bron Breakker. Since then, the record-setting World Champion has been reportedly exploring options outside WWE. He has been rumored to be in talks for a role in the live-action version of The Street Fighter movie. Most recently, Roman Reigns was announced to be a part of the comedy film, The Pickup, which is set to release on August 6th on Amazon Prime. As for his WWE return, Reigns has not been advertised for any event leading up to their next Premium Live Event, Money in the Bank coming up in a week. The same is the case for the event after that, Night of Champions, in Saudi Arabia, although he is expected to be a part of that event. Lastly, Reigns has been advertised for SummerSlam, which will be a two-night event for the first time. With no clear picture at the moment, it remains to be seen when Roman Reigns will actually make his WWE return. Also read:

Why Fans Think Roman Reigns Will Return to WWE Soon
Roman Reigns has been off WWE TV since the explosive fallout after WrestleMania 41, where he was taken out by Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. Since then, fans have been wondering when The Tribal Chief will return. And based on this week's RAW, many believe it could be sooner than expected. All signs for Roman Reigns' WWE return listed During Monday Night RAW, Seth Rollins made his entrance with Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. All four wore sharp suits, and while their look didn't mirror The Shield's signature gear, longtime fans picked up on a familiar vibe. Commentary added to the speculation, with Pat McAfee noting how Rollins hasn't had this kind of backup since his Shield days with Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. Advertisement No hand signs. No tactical gear. But the comparison wasn't accidental, as WWE rarely drops nostalgia without purpose. This felt like a subtle breadcrumb for fans paying attention. Another big flag was Paul Heyman's sudden shift in tone. After weeks of avoiding any mention of Reigns, Heyman went out of his way to take shots at him. While hyping up Bronson Reed, he quipped that Reed had hurt Rollins more in one night than Roman had in a decade. For someone who once stood by Reigns' side for years, that kind of insult felt especially loaded. And to top it off, Heyman closed his speech by asking the crowd to acknowledge Rollins. Moreover, right now, the balance in WWE's main event scene feels a little lopsided. Rollins' crew is stacked, while CM Punk, Sami Zayn, and occasionally Jey Uso are struggling to keep up. Roman Reigns, who was betrayed by Heyman and beaten down by Rollins, would make sense to return to WWE. Advertisement Additionally, there was talk of Reigns returning for Money in the Bank 2025, but Rollins being announced for the ladder match makes that unlikely. If Rollins is in that match, the teased tag team showdown can't happen — at least not there. This shift has fans speculating that Reigns' comeback could be saved for a bigger moment, possibly SummerSlam.

Paul Heyman Compares His New Stable To Iconic Death Row Records Lineup
Paul Heyman can see the future! Heyman has led some iconic pro wrestlers to the ring, including CM Punk, Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. He's also been responsible for some of the biggest factions of all time, including the Dangerous Alliance and The Bloodline. Advertisement Now, Heyman is backing the collective of Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, who joined the stable at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event this weekend. Heyman took some time to boast about the power of the lineup. He did it by using an image that recreated an iconic photo: Paul Heyman compares his stable to Death Row Records The image Heyman used successfully recreates the iconic Death Row Records promotional image featuring its biggest stars in the mid-90s. The original image features Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Snoop Dogg and Death Row owner Suge Knight. This time, the WWE version has Seth Rollins positioned as Dr. Dre, Bron Breakker as 2Pac, Bronson Reed as Snoop Dogg, and Heyman as Knight. Advertisement The WWE image was meant to highlight the power of Heyman's lineup. However, it might not be the best comparison to use. It seems like Breakker would have been a better pick for Snoop (because he's got that dog in him). Additionally, the label ultimately saw a steep decline, as 2Pac was murdered in 1996. Dre left Death Row that same year, and Snoop followed in 1998. The latter is now the owner of the label. Suge Knight has also had plenty of legal troubles over the years. Knight is currently in prison, serving a 28-year term after being convicted for his role in a 2015 hit-and-run accident. Rollins explained his motivation for forming a new stable (and teased his title plans) on this week's episode of RAW. Catch up on everything that went down here.

Is Roman Reigns returning? Paul Heyman's WWE RAW tease raises eyebrows
रोमन रेंस और पॉल हेमैन Roman Reigns ' former Wiseman, Paul Heyman, might have teased his return coming soon. Roman Reigns has been inactive since the culmination of the WrestleMania season this year. The WWE Universe has been loud for weeks to see The OTC back on WWE television programming. The hype was fueled further by a promo by his former Wiseman, Paul Heyman, who seemingly dropped major references about his former Tribal Chief. Paul Heyman hinted at Roman Reigns' return to WWE The May 26th edition of Monday Night RAW opened with Paul Heyman making his way to the ring with his new faction, Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and their latest member, Big Bronson Reed. The four of them stood side by side inside the squared circle and Heyman began to address the audience. During that promo, he noticeably made references to Roman Reigns. The WWE Hall of Famer, in his true fashion, put over the young stars of this group, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, hinting at progressive futures for each of them. During his address towards Bron Breakker, he stressed heavily on the word 'Bloodline,' which is a reference to his time with Roman Reigns. He then turned his attention to The Visionary, Seth Rollins. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Heyman began with a familiar stance, saying, "Acknowledge Seth Rollins", dropping to a nearly similar pose as he did back in the day with Reigns. This looked like a direct nod to Roman Reigns, who used to start his promos by asking the fans to acknowledge him and Heyman following suit. Roman Reigns was last seen on RAW after the WrestleMania 41 episode. He came down to the ring to get some payback on Paul Heyman, who betrayed him at WrestleMania, and Seth Rollins, who snatched his Wiseman from him. He and CM Punk, who both had common enemies, were left beaten down by Rollins and Bron Breakker, who was revealed as the newest Paul Heyman Guy. With Reigns' return majorly teased on this week's edition of Monday Night RAW, it will be interesting to see if the fans could see The OTC back, which would not be good for his foes.

WWE Raw results, highlights (May 26): Seth Rollins qualifies for Money In the Bank
"WWE Raw" was in Tampa to follow Saturday Night's Main Event festivities, and the pro wrestling world needed some answers from Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman. The Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed supported group kicked off the night, as they remain the focal point of Monday's weekly program. Money In the Bank is right around the corner, and the rest of the ladder match participants are slowly getting determined, including the latest addition in Rollins. Advertisement Let's get into it. 🙄Plot hole(s) of the Night It's not a surprise that WWE won't explain why Reed is suddenly cool with Seth Rollins after trying to murder him the last time they were in the ring together. To start "WWE Raw," Paul Heyman did his best to surgically repair the loose puzzle pieces of this picture. Reed was proclaimed to have done more damage to Rollins in one night than Rollins' latest rivals could in several outings. That wasn't necessarily wrong, and it made sense why they would want to recruit someone like that. What doesn't make sense is why Reed would join the guy he tried to turn into a pancake. Heyman implied, without saying, that it was because Reed couldn't get a push thanks to how much fear he instilled in the roster and the old "PG era." OK, let's just accept all of that because we have to. It's not great, but it is what it is, and makes Reed look somewhat weak, or more so, low on confidence in his ability to get where he wants to be without help. Advertisement Meanwhile, Rollins utilized his mic time brilliantly as he typically does. He has had a weird relationship with the crowd since WrestleMania 41. He gets cheered upon arrival, then booed on the mic, and he pointed it out. The crowd seemingly started chanting just to chant because they called Rollins a sellout, which also makes no sense. Rollins played into it, stating facts before receiving a loud "F*** you." It was all a good diversion from a Reed explanation, let's put it that way. Things got even more convoluted when Rollins took on Sami Zayn and Finn Balor in their Money In the Bank triple-threat qualifier. Uncrowned readers know I'm never one to complain about a triple-threat match, and want to see them play out without interference. However, this was a very unique case where you had two members of stables (Rollins and Balor) involved. First of all, The Judgment Day gets involved in what feels like 99% of every match their members are in. Secondly, Rollins is essentially trying to run WWE, so why wouldn't he have Reed and Bron Breakker instantly aid him in attacking his opponents and getting the win? In terms of story beats, the match should have turned into an unofficial trios match of sorts with The Judgment Day helping Balor, and poor Zayn just taking his beating in the middle. (Because we know Jey Uso never cares about helping him.) Instead, the overbooking didn't come until the end of the match. Advertisement This was mostly a clean, brilliant triple-threat. Breakker and Reed finally showed up when Zayn almost had the match won, then Uso, surprisingly, tried to help, before Dominick Mysterio sent in a chair to help Balor. Well, that was the plan, anyway. But Mysterio "accidentally" slid it into place for Balor to take a stomp and eat the pin. CM Punk came out to close the show and hit Rollins with a GTS, so you have to assume he'll once again thwart Rollins' hopes of winning in the Money In the Bank match. Like this one though, Reed and Breakker should come out right away because they can. I'm OK with how it all played out — because it gave us some good wrestling to watch — but let's be honest, it actually doesn't make sense, which is kind of hilarious. 🔥Banger of the Night A triple-threat match every week should be mandatory. Money In the Bank season is just too good, and Penta vs. Dragon Lee vs. Chad Gable was as incredible as you'd expect. Advertisement These guys delivered what felt like a title match with their quick and hard-hitting moves. Thanks to the no-DQ nature of a three-way, El Hijo del Vikingo got involved ringside to stop his upcoming opponent, Gable. It didn't impact a potential win, really, but it helped tease their match. From Gable nearly breaking his neck when Penta carried both men, to Lee launching into Penta over the announce table. This match kicked all the ass, and Penta scored the win after the Penta Driver on Lee. Now I wish even more that Rey Fenix also qualified for the Los Angeles ladder match. 👍MONDAY NIGHT MONEY👍 1. Rusev (rightfully) squashed Akira Tozawa in no time at all, winning with The Accolade. If that Gunther feud I hoped for can't happen, the next best thing will be Sheamus, I suppose. The latter came out to confront the Belarusian and save Tozawa. 2. The New Day retained their World Tag Team titles in a triple-threat match against American Made and The War Raiders. It was fun, while not overly spectacular. The story was New Day and American Made working together before Xavier Woods ultimately pulled the tights mid-roll-up on one of the Creeds to get the pin. It feels like something is being delayed for The New Day, but it's hard to tell what. 3. Any time The Judgment Day shenanigans fail, it's a good result. That's precisely what happened in Liv Morgan's first match post-production of her new movie. Because of Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez's curfuffle outside the ring, Morgan fell short via a roll-up to Kairi Sane. It was a solid first collision between the pair, and more importantly, it keeps the dissension building in Morgan's faction. 4. Give us what we want and push Karrion Kross, Triple H. The guy better join the crop of wrestlers in the Money In the Bank ladder match. 👎RAW DEAL👎 1. Netflix's involvement in WWE means Netflix promotional segments — like the quick plug for Tom Segura's new show Bad Thoughts. Bert Kreischer was by his side because he can't live without attention. A quick glance at the actors in the crowd is good enough. We don't need scripted interviews. 2. Jey Uso and Gunther had a very slow and repetitive promo battle. Uso honestly might have forgotten his lines, because it all felt off. Each world title's booking since WrestleMania 41 has been rough. Next, Uso and Cody Rhodes battle Logan Paul and John Cena in an utterly pointless tag team match at Money In the Bank. Gunther and Uso then rematch for the World Heavyweight title on the following "WWE Raw." Advertisement If ruining wrestling truly is the goal, like Cena says, then WWE is succeeding atop its billing. 3. Becky Lynch has received an Intercontinental title rematch against the champion Lyra Valkyria at Money In the Bank — by losing her Money In the Bank qualifier match last week. Valkyria tried to justify it with a promo, stating how personal it was for her. Sure. That doesn't make it make sense. On the flip side, Valkyria was brilliant with her time given. (Outside of her and Lynch starting to bring up their partners.) 👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑 Unfortunately, nothing overly stood out on this "WWE Raw," but we'll give some love to Miss Morgan. Advertisement Personally, I can't stand Morgan's character, and that's because she's so damn good at it. She plays her role oh so well, in and out of the ring. Morgan has become the central piece of The Judgment Day, and despite my hopes of a break-up sooner than now, WWE has actually crafted this slow dissolution, or change, quite cleverly. And that's thanks to Morgan. Morgan wanted a Money In the Bank qualifier match as one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions. So, it will be interesting to see if she still gets one after the loss to Sane. 👑 I give this "WWE Raw" a Crown score of: 6/10.👑
