Roman Reigns, Stratus, Phoenix Headline WWE Returns

WWE is anticipating several notable returns, with Trish Stratus expected to appear at the all-women's Evolution event in Atlanta for her 25th anniversary, though her announcement was recently postponed. Beth Phoenix has hinted at participating in Evolution 2 after posting training updates. Roman Reigns is now expected to return soon to build toward SummerSlam, but his stint may be brief as he is set to film a major movie in Australia as Akuma beginning August 2025, likely resulting in another hiatus. His part-time schedule and recurring absences continue to draw fan criticism. In NXT, Channing 'Stacks' Lorenzo won the Heritage Cup Championship and rebranded as Don of NXT, marking a significant change in the brand. Kayla Braxton has shown interest in a WWE return if offered a late-night show, potentially partnering on-screen again with Paul Heyman.
