Roman Reigns Spotted Smiling in First Pic Since Father’s Death, Sparks Huge Return Buzz

Former WWE Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns has been absent from the schedule since his loss to Cody Rhodes in the main event on night two of WrestleMania 40. While many were expecting him to finally mark his return around SummerSlam, tragedy struck when his father, the legendary Sika Anoa’i, passed away at the age of 79.

On several occasions, Roman Reigns stressed how much his father meant to his development as a WWE wrestler and, in addition, to his evolution as a good person. The bond with Sika was not only in what they shared at home as father and son; it also transcended the ring.

So fans were obviously worried about the mental well-being of Reigns after this loss. Additionally, they were sure that the Tribal Chief would not mark his return anytime soon.

However, it seems like our Big Dog is as mentally strong as he is physically. And that’s because we can already see him smiling and enjoying the joys of life again, as witnessed in a recent picture that has been uploaded online by a Twitter user as he shared the magical moment between his son and the Tribal Chief.

Roman Reigns enjoys delightful moment with young fan

A Twitter user by the name of Riaz Moulabi recently shared a picture of his son standing next to his hero, none other than our very own Tribal Chief. In a picture that surely would melt hearts, both Roman Reigns and the little kid were seen smiling brightly for the camera. Thanking Roman Reigns for the beautiful moment, the father wrote, “Thank you to @WWERomanReigns for taking two minutes out of your day to make a lifetime memory for my son and I. We acknowledge and truly appreciate you!”

After the passing of his father, Roman Reigns shared a touching post on his social media. In the post, he praised his father and wrote about the love and support he has received from his fans. Sika’s passing marked the end of an era in professional wrestling, but Reigns has made it clear that he will continue to be in the spotlight for his fans.

For the time being, we’ll have to wait and see when he’ll return to WWE programming, as the current storyline with The Bloodline has removed him from his position as the Tribal Chief. But we can be sure that whenever he returns, it is surely going to be a banger of a return. With him probably reuniting with the Usos and Zilla Fatu, Lance Anoa’i, or even Hikuleo joining him in his fight against the new Bloodline headed by the traitor, Solo Sikoa. What do you think? Will Reigns return anytime soon? Let us know in the comments.
