Roman Reigns is poised to make a highly anticipated return to WWE SmackDown on September 13, 2024, following his impactful comeback at SummerSlam 2024, where he helped Cody Rhodes retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. Despite a brief absence after being ambushed by Jacob Fatu, promotional materials for SmackDown's move to the USA Network feature Reigns, hinting at his return. His ongoing feud with The Bloodline has kept fans engaged, and he faces the creative challenge of catering to both long-time viewers and newcomers. Reigns has expressed a preference for playing a heel, suggesting it may resonate well with audiences, although he is currently positioned as a babyface. WWE is planning a star-studded show for the premiere, which could include significant story developments for Reigns. Additionally, Hulk Hogan has proposed that Logan Paul could turn babyface by assisting Reigns in his feud against The Bloodline.
