Roman Reigns has cemented his place as one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. However, the Tribal Chief era came to an end at WrestleMania 40 when Cody Rhodes dethroned him, winning the undisputed title. Since that fateful night, The Head of the Table has not been seen in WWE. During his hiatus, Reigns shot a movie titled Good Fortune, alongside a cast of authentic Hollywood actors, and production on the film reportedly wrapped recently. And ever since, there has been news that the superstar is gearing up for a return at SummerSlam. However, there was no confirmation. But now, it seems like we have a major hint toward the return of the Tribal Chief.
As the latest video on Instagram shows, he has allegedly started preparations for an impending return to the Stamford-based promotion.
As soon as Reigns finished his movie, numerous rumors indicated that Reigns’ return to the ring could come sooner than expected and that he would be ready to resume his position at the top of the federation right away.

And now the latest social media post on Instagram by supplement brand ‘Core Champs’ has hyped up the rumor further. The post is a video of Roman Reigns working out in the gym. But what’s interesting is that he is doing a proper full-body workout. Something that is not usually done by athletes during their break.
And the fact that Reigns is doing it can be related to the fact that he is getting back in shape for his SummerSlam return.

A video featuring Roman Reigns confirms his SummerSlam return?
Ring Side News reached out to a member of WWE’s writing team regarding these rumors, who stated that WWE had not heard anything on the subject and doubted that those rumors were true. However, the WWE tends to keep affairs like this close to their chest. So it is unlikely that they will let news of such a major return leak beforehand.

The fans sure can’t wait anymore and are eagerly awaiting Reigns’ return, as evidenced by the loud “We Want Roman” chants heard every week on TV shows. But The Tribal Chief has disappeared from the scene completely. However, what is certain is that Solo Sikoa has taken his place in the role of leader of the Bloodline, a stable that Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa have also joined. So the WWE must bring back Reigns to give further momentum to the new Bloodline while keeping the hype for the Tribal Chief alive.
