Is Roman Reigns leaving WWE after SummerSlam? Insight into contract status and further details

Roman Reigns' potential return at WWE's upcoming premium live event, SummerSlam 2024, is highly anticipated. The Biggest Party of the Summer will witness Cody Rhodes defending his Undisputed WWE Title against Solo Sikoa in a singles bout. With the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief teasing a feud with Reigns over the past few months, there is a high probability of the latter showing up either during the match or following it.

Amid much speculation about Roman Reigns' status, fans have been wondering whether he will be leaving WWE after SummerSlam this year. Per the last update, Reigns is signed to a multi-year deal with the global juggernaut. He disclosed his contract status in August 2022. At that time, the former champion didn't mention when his deal would conclude, but he will not leave anytime soon.

Since Roman signed a new contract in August 2022, there is no way that he will be leaving after SummerSlam. WWE has presented The Head of the Table as its top star over the past few years. Hence, officials may want him to represent the company for a really long time. Moreover, he has gained much popularity since adopting his villainous character, making him a top draw.

Considering the aforementioned factors, the WWE Universe will continue to see Roman Reigns post-SummerSlam 2024. However, The Tribal Chief might continue to play the role of a part-time star and might not appear on every single episode of SmackDown.

What if Roman Reigns does not return at SummerSlam 2024?

Roman Reigns' rumored return at SummerSlam 2024 is surely an ideal scenario for many. However, in case The Head of the Table doesn't show up at The Biggest Party of the Summer, fans could instead witness the debut of Hikuleo.

For those unaware, Hikuleo has reportedly signed with the Stamford-based promotion. This means that WWE might be waiting for the perfect stage to book his debut. SummerSlam 2024 might be the perfect occasion for his arrival, considering it is one of World Wrestling Entertainment's Big Four premium live events.

Hikuleo could aid Solo Sikoa in his title match and help him reign supreme. Additionally, if Roman doesn't return at SummerSlam, fans could still expect Jimmy Uso to make his much-anticipated comeback and exact revenge on Sikoa.

It remains to be seen what will happen at SummerSlam 2024 and whether Reigns will make his long-awaited return to WWE on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.
