Roman Reigns made a monumental return at SummerSlam this year, which sent shockwaves in the world of sports entertainment. A lot of fans were expecting his presence on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, as it was the fallout episode of RAW after The Biggest Party of The Summer. Reigns' free-agent status was another thing that made fans anticipate his presence on the show.
The Original Tribal Chief did not appear on the RAW after SummerSlam because he is exclusive to SmackDown. Although he gained the status of a free agent following the WWE Draft 2024, The Head of the Table is not internally listed as a free agent on WWE's official website. Therefore, Roman Reigns is reserved to appear exclusively on Friday Night SmackDown under FOX Network.
Moreover, the storyline that he would be embroiled in, The Bloodline Saga, has been unfolding on the blue brand where Solo Sikoa and his faction are currently performing. Hence, this is the reason why the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion did not show up on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, as his appearance on the red brand without any clear direction would look redundant.

Roman Reigns is officially advertised for the upcoming edition of SmackDown, which will be the fallout episode of the blue brand after SummerSlam. For the first time since losing his crown at WrestleMania XL, The Original Tribal Chief will make his presence felt on the blue brand following his mega return.
It will be interesting to see how Reigns addresses the ongoing drama that unfolded with The Bloodline amid his absence.
Exploring Roman Reigns' real motive behind WWE return
SummerSlam 2024 witnessed the much-anticipated return of Roman Reigns, which the WWE Universe has been long clamoring for. He seemingly gave away the real reason behind his comeback at The Biggest Party of The Summer. Has Reigns returned to re-capture the Undisputed WWE Championship?
However, this does not appear to be the case. The 39-year-old star returned to WWE to reclaim his position as the real Tribal Chief. Ever since Roman went on a hiatus following WrestleMania XL, Solo Sikoa has deceitfully subjugated his position and captured the throne that Reigns once ruled upon.
Therefore, the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion returned for vengeance against the new Bloodline leader. The fact that Roman Reigns came back wearing a t-shirt with OTC written on it seems to be an indication that he returned to prove that he is the Original Tribal Chief.
The main purpose behind his monumental return at SummerSlam is to knock Solo Sikoa off the pedestal and restore the legacy of the Ula Fala that the latter tainted. It will be interesting to see how the dynamics play out when Reigns returns to SmackDown.
