Roman Reigns Returns, Attacks Breakker, Linked to WarGames

Roman Reigns made a surprise return on the Sept. 29 episode of Monday Night Raw, storming the ring with a steel chair to attack Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed and helping The Usos win. He delivered an unseen post-show promo reaffirming he is "The Tribal Chief" and the company's top star, and closing visuals showed an embrace with Jey Uso while a cautious Jimmy Uso watched, fueling talk of a reinstated Bloodline dynamic. Reigns had been off TV since Clash in Paris with a storyline injury while filming the Street Fighter movie and is not yet officially booked for Crown Jewel. Multiple outlets, including Dave Meltzer, tie Reigns and The Usos to a likely WarGames-style Survivor Series match against Seth Rollins' Vision. Reaction was mixed: fans and coverage hailed the dramatic return, while veterans such as Bully Ray and Vince Russo publicly criticized the decision, and reports say there is no internal talk of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson returning at Survivor Series.
