Roman Reigns Returns, SummerSlam Matchups Set

Roman Reigns returned to WWE on July 14 after a three-month hiatus, saving CM Punk and Jey Uso from an attack by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed on Monday Night Raw. His comeback comes as Seth Rollins is sidelined with a major injury, leaving a gap in the men's division ahead of WWE's first-ever two-night SummerSlam. CM Punk secured a World Heavyweight Championship match against Gunther at SummerSlam by winning a gauntlet match, though some analysts question the event's build. Reigns is expected to feud with Breakker, Reed, or Rollins when he returns, and might team with Jey Uso. Reigns' return has sparked a surge in WWE's viewership and online engagement. In the women's division, Lyra Valkyria earned a title shot against Becky Lynch for the Women's Championship at SummerSlam.
