#1. Roman Reigns returns (WWE Summerslam 2020 - ThunderDome)
Trending
Summerslam 2020 was the first pay-per-view to take place inside the WWE ThunderDome. The state-of-the-art arena was visually stunning and made for a very cool change of pace following months in the Performance Center. The evening would witness some great matches like Asuka vs. Sasha Banks and Dominik Mysterio's debut against Seth Rollins.
However, the end of the show took most of the headlines after this event. Following The Fiend Bray Wyatt defeating Braun Strowman in a Falls Count Anywhere Match to win the WWE Universal Championship, Roman Reigns returned in a scene that could only be described as "you'll never see it coming."
Prior to WrestleMania 36, Roman Reigns decided to take some time off during the global pandemic. In the months to follow, he was out of sight and mind until his shocking arrival at the WWE ThunderDome at Summerslam. This was not only a surprising return, but "The Big Dog" also had a change in demeanor, trash-talking both Wyatt and Strowman during his return.
Reigns furthered this change on the very next episode of SmackDown inside the WWE ThunderDome. It was revealed that Roman had returned with a Special Counsel in the form of Paul Heyman. The new association paid off immediately as Roman defeated The Fiend and Strowman in a triple threat match to win the WWE Universal Championship, which he still holds to this day.
Roman Reigns has transformed into "The Tribal Chief" and has been on the run of his career since then. Whether it's his tremendous run of championship matches, compelling feuds with Kevin Owens and Daniel Bryan or deeply engaging family storyline with The Usos, Roman Reigns has become the center of attention for the WWE Universe during this ThunderDome era.
Reigns has put on Match of the Year candidates against Jey Uso at Clash of Champions, Drew McIntyre at Survivor Series, Kevin Owens at Royal Rumble and both Edge and Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania. He has become the biggest and most important superstar in the entire company. He accomplished all of this during the pandemic inside the WWE ThunderDome
It has gotten to the point where only part-time stars like John Cena or The Rock are considered the best matches for him. He is not just one of their best in-ring performers, but also arguably the best character in the entire business. WWE has finally got Reigns to be the top star that they have tried so hard for him to become over the past six years.
None of this would have been possible without his triumphant return. That is why Roman Reigns' return at Summerslam has to be considered the best moment to take place in the WWE ThunderDome.
