5 Ways that WWE could bring Roman Reigns back for maximum impact

Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt is a big money feud
Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt is a big money feud

If WWE was a movie, then the lead actor would be Roman Reigns. After all, he has been the man that Vince McMahon has pushed all the way to the moon, even when fans weren't necessarily on his side and the company has pretty much chosen him as the face of their brand.

And why wouldn't they, if you consider that Roman Reigns is a real-life superhero who beat cancer? His story inspires thousands (if not more) around the world. One would imagine the fact that he has chosen to sit out the ongoing pandemic would not have a bearing on his position once he returns and that he will still be a major star for the company.

So, how does Vince McMahon bring Roman Reigns back into the roster? I will suggest 5 interesting ways and you can, of course, weigh in with your thoughts and views in the comments below.

Please bear in mind that I've chosen options. Do you think that the company is missing Reigns right now?


#5 Roman Reigns back to challenge Goldberg for the match that never happened

Whether or not you agree, Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg was a big-ticket match and that is precisely why it was supposed to be the WrestleMania 36 main event match. The unfortunate reality of the matter is that it could not happen then, but there is no reason why it cannot happen now. Plus, the good news is that it can take place without the title actually being on the line at all.

So, when Roman Reigns comes to WWE once again, he could call out Goldberg and ask him to settle all scores in the ring.

There is a big portion of the 'casual' fanbase who would love to see it happen.

#4 Roman Reigns returns to end the tyranny of Seth Rollins

We all know the history between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins and the fact that they are as close in real life as they used to be on screen. It's just that Seth Rollins has become a despicable heel on RAW in recent times. At a time when he should have been celebrating fatherhood, Seth Rollins chose instead to inflict pain and misery on Rey Mysterio. It doesn't get bigger than Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins and this could be the direction WWE goes in, right before SummerSlam takes place.

In fact, it is Aleister Black alone against Seth Rollins and Murphy and while he can continue on his own, one assumes that The Dutch Destroyer will need backup in due course of time. If he calls upon Roman Reigns for aid, there's always the chance that these two teams could light it up on RAW. And an alliance with a top star like Roman Reigns is also the best case scenario for someone who's getting his foothold in the company like Aleister Black.

#3 Roman Reigns stops Otis from cashing his contract in

Could Roman Reigns be the man who costs Otis a chance to become the Universal Champion?

With all due respect to Orange Cassidy, Otis may just be the most entertaining Superstar in the pro wrestling or sports entertainment world at the moment. But whether or not he is ready to be the Universal Champion yet is a question that has been asked and discussed and debated several times.

There are many who feel that Otis, as fun as he may be, is not ready to be the face of WWE, and Roman Reigns could be the man who stops Otis from cashing in his contract. When Otis is on the verge of pinning Braun Strowman when he is down, Roman Reigns could make his valiant return and spear Otis. In a sense, it could build a lot of babyface sympathy for Otis, a man that the whole wrestling world seems to be backing all the way to the top because of the way that he is.

In a lot of Roman Reigns feuds, he becomes the heel even if he is a babyface in reality, and Otis vs. Reigns could be one such program.

#2 Roman Reigns returns as a heel and attacks Drew McIntyre

Until not long ago, Roman Reigns was the most pushed superstar in the entire WWE roster because there was nobody that looked like him and had the gas tank to put on a fantastic match in the manner that he does every single time he steps in the ring. In a lot of ways, Drew McIntyre is an improved version of Roman Reigns, because one could argue that he is better in the ring, cuts a better promo, and even has a better connection with the WWE Universe than Roman Reigns ever did. And if this is genuinely the case, then it allows for something many have wanted for years now, a chance for Roman Reigns to tap into his dark side and turn heel.

Because the wild card rule has been initiated (in a way) on RAW and SmackDown, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Roman Reigns was to return on RAW as a heel and confront Drew McIntyre right before SummerSlam 2020.

#1 Roman Reigns confronts the current Universal Champion

Roman Reigns has had memorable feuds with Braun Strowman in the past, and it was actually the program that put the Monster Among Men on the map. I wouldn't be surprised if Roman Reigns was to return to the company at a later date and claim that he is the real Universal Champion considering that he had a chance at Goldberg and not Braun Strowman.

There's also the chance that Bray Wyatt will become the Universal Champion at some point. We have seen Braun Strowman vs. Bray Wyatt, but we are yet to see the man tussle with The Fiend, and there's always the chance that Roman Reigns could return when The Fiend has the title in his grasp.

Roman Reigns is a person who wins a lot more matches than he loses. Even if it takes multiple spears, there's always the chance that he could be the man who takes The Fiend down for good.

How would you bring Roman Reigns back if you had a say in WWE's creative process?
