After a shocking defeat at WrestleMania 40, the WWE Universe is buzzing with speculations that Roman Reigns might ditch the villain role and become the good guy again upon his return. This potential shift could ignite a possible feud with his old buddy, Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
Many expected The Visionary to turn his back on Cody Rhodes at The Grandest Stage of Them All. Instead, he pulled a surprising "Shield" move, taking a brutal chair shot intended for Rhodes at the hands of The Tribal Chief that had been in the making for years.
Ever since Reigns returned to SummerSlam 2020, he played an ultimate heel on TV and also started The Bloodline journey with his cousins. When The American Nightmare pinned the Head of The Table at WrestleMania XL, he was seen smiling and received heartwarming reactions from the fans.

Roman Reigns also broke his silence after losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion to Rhodes in Philadelphia. He shared a video of him back in the gym, stating he's already pumped for what's next. An X (formerly Twitter) post suggested that The Bloodline leader's next TV appearance is on SmackDown before SummerSlam 2024.
The WWE Universe erupted on social media, speculating that The Tribal Chief's triumphant return signals a babyface turn and finally settling the score with Seth Rollins once and for all at this year's Biggest Party of the Summer.

We were gonna go one way, thinking The Rock vs. Roman Reigns. They made it clear they wanted something else and we got to the finish line. Extremely validating."
