Roman Reigns initially returned at the SummerSlam Premium Live Event when he assisted Rhodes during the Bloodline Rules Match between him and Sikoa. Several weeks later, The stable put him through the announcer's table, briefly writing him off WWE programming again.
On SmackDown, The brawl between Reigns and The Bloodline ended with Rhodes returning the favor and helping out the man whom he beat for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
