An unexpected comeback by Roman Reigns at WWE SummerSlam helped Cody Rhodes retain the championship and put Solo Sikoa in his sights. It was Reigns’ first appearance since losing the title to Rhodes at WrestleMania XL.
Recently, USA Network has made a high-voltage announcement to acknowledge Reigns’ return on next week’s SmackDown, the same evening when Solo Sikoa faces Rhodes for the Universal Championship.
After being powerbombed through the announce table by The New Bloodline last week, Reigns hasn’t been seen even in backstage. So, fans are waiting for the Original Tribal Chief to return and teach some manners to the immature Bloodline. Interestingly, that moment is just a week away.
With SmackDown moving to the USA Network next Friday, USA is building excitement by sharing a promotional graphic featuring Reigns for next week’s show. They posted, “The OTC has spoken! #SmackDown returns home to USA Network on September 13. Acknowledge it.”
As soon as they saw the news, fans couldn’t control their excitement. The comment section quickly filled with reactions, showing just how eager everyone is for what’s coming next.
