3 Reasons why Roman Reigns didn't return on RAW after Saturday Night's Main Event

Roman Reigns has been away from WWE TV since Crown Jewel: Perth. Many were expecting him to return on the RAW after Saturday Night's Main Event XLI, but it didn't happen.

Fans are now wondering why the OTC has not returned yet. This is particularly after WWE dropped hints about the potential Men's WarGames Match between Team CM Punk and Team Vision. Moreover, Logan Paul betrayed Punk and joined forces with the heel group on RAW, teasing his possible participation in the high-profile showdown.

In this article, we will discuss three reasons why the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion didn't return on the RAW after SNME.

#3. WWE could be planning to add Roman Reigns to the WarGames Match at the last minute

As of now, CM Punk appears to be the leader of the babyface team for the potential WarGames Match against The Vision. If this is indeed the plan, Roman Reigns could be a last-minute addition to the storyline.

Last year, CM Punk returned with Paul Heyman at the last minute and joined forces with the OG Bloodline against the Solo Sikoa-led group for WarGames. This year, Reigns might pull off a similar comeback to participate in the high-profile bout.

For those unaware, Reigns is already advertised to appear at the upcoming premium live event. Hence, he could return on the go-home edition of RAW before Survivor Series.

#2. Reigns might return next week on RAW

The forthcoming episode of Monday Night RAW is set to take place in Boston, and John Cena is already set to make his presence felt on the show. To make the program bigger, WWE might bring back Reigns. This could be why he remained absent from this past Monday's event.

By having both the OTC and Cena on the same show, the company could create massive buzz.

#1. Roman Reigns could return after a call from Jey Uso

Jey Uso is also seemingly part of the storyline with The Vision now. Despite suffering a loss at Saturday Night's Main Event, The YEET Master decided to help The Second City Saint against the heel faction.

There were issues between the OG Bloodline when Jey cost Roman Reigns a potential win at Crown Jewel 2025. Hence, the company might have intentionally put the OTC's return on hold.

Roman Reigns might now return after Jey Uso seeks help from him. It might be part of a storyline where Jey could work with The Tribal Chief to tackle a villainous stable like The Vision.
