Roman Reigns has returned. In his first appearance since losing the Undisputed Title to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania, Reigns came back to a stadium-filled acknowledgement from the WWE Universe when he superman punched and speared Solo, setting up Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes‘ victory over Solo in the main event of this year’s WWE SummerSlam. Reigns has not been seen nor heard from, not even when Solo had Jimmy Uso taken out of action nor when The Solo-led Bloodline betrayed and took out The Wiseman Paul Heyman in Madison Square Garden. Now, Reigns is back. And the entire landscape in WWE is about to dramatically shift.
According to WWE.com:
Cody Rhodes once again had to endure Bloodline Rules in an Undisputed WWE Championship match, this time against self-proclaimed Tribal Chief Solo Sikoa.
Sikoa dominated Rhodes in the early goings, hitting a Spinning Solo and two running headbutts.
As The American Nightmare landed the Cross Rhodes, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa arrived to try to help Sikoa win the title.
With Rhodes down, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton entered the fray, taking Loa and Tonga out of the equation as they fought to the backstage area.
Rhodes used the ring steps on Sikoa, but Sikoa caught him with a huge Spear for a long two-count.
As Rhodes fought back, he was readying for the third Cross Rhodes until Jacob Fatu assaulted him.
Fatu delivered a devastating frog splash onto Rhodes through the announce table, and Sikoa hit another huge splash, but Rhodes once again kicked out.
Just as Sikoa looked dominant, Roman Reigns made his shocking return to a thunderous ovation from the WWE Universe.
As the Cleveland faithful anticipated what Reigns would do, The Head of the Table hit the ring and blasted a shellshocked Sikoa with a Superman Punch and a Spear before giving a subtle nod to Rhodes and leaving the squared circle.
Moments later, Rhodes blasted Sikoa with a Cross Rhodes to win his second Bloodline Rules Match and retain his Undisputed WWE Championship.
Reigns, who was halfway up the entranceway, locked eyes with the victorious Rhodes as SummerSlam concluded.
