Roman Reigns, WWE's reigning Universal Champion, is set to make a highly-anticipated return to the wrestling scene. The last time Reigns put his championship on the line was at SummerSlam 2023, where he squared off against his own family member, Jey Uso, in a fierce showdown that saw him emerge victorious.

Following that intense battle, Reigns made a memorable appearance on the subsequent edition of SmackDown, where he found himself on the receiving end of a brutal superkick from Jey Uso, who then shockingly announced his "quit" from WWE.

This dramatic turn of events left fans wondering when and where "The Tribal Chief" would next defend his coveted title. All eyes have been on WWE's upcoming event, Crown Jewel, scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia on November 4th.

Speculation has been rife that Reigns would put his championship on the line at this grand stage. However, as of now, there has been no official word from WWE regarding this matter.

Reigns' Arena Appearances

Nevertheless, recent developments have sparked excitement among wrestling enthusiasts.

Several arenas had already begun advertising Roman Reigns' appearances in their venues later this month. Notably, the BOK Center in Tulsa is promoting Reigns for the October 13th edition of SmackDown. Now, in a much-anticipated announcement, WWE has officially confirmed that Roman Reigns will indeed make his long-awaited return in Oklahoma next Friday.

This revelation has ignited speculation about the path "The Head Of The Table" will take upon his return. With his return scheduled just in time for Crown Jewel, wrestling aficionados are buzzing with anticipation. One possible contender for Reigns' title defense could be none other than former rival AJ Styles, with whom Reigns had a memorable feud in 2016.

Recent storylines on SmackDown have seen Styles involved with Reigns' cousins, Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso, potentially setting the stage for a showdown between Reigns and Styles at Crown Jewel. As fans eagerly await Roman Reigns' return to the ring, the wrestling world is abuzz with excitement and speculation about the potential matches and rivalries that could unfold in the coming weeks.

Reigns' comeback promises to add even more drama and intensity to the WWE landscape as he continues to dominate as "The Tribal Chief." Stay tuned for more updates as this thrilling chapter in WWE unfolds.
