Roman Reigns Makes Dramatic Return on WWE Raw Ahead of Wrestlemania 41

Roman Reigns Returns to WWE Raw

Roman Reigns made a striking comeback during the latest episode of WWE Raw, re-entering the storyline as the Road to Wrestlemania 41 heats up. Following his exclusion from WWE narratives at the Royal Rumble, Reigns is clearly on a mission for retribution.

In the main event held on March 10 at Madison Square Garden, Seth Rollins faced CM Punk in a Steel Cage Match, which ended in disqualification when Reigns intervened, pulling Rollins out of the cage and launching a brutal attack.

The match showcased a fierce rivalry as Punk and Rollins clashed for the second time this year, following Punk's earlier victory during the Netflix premiere in January. This bout was set up after Rollins had previously denied Punk a chance at the Elimination Chamber match and a shot at WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.

Punk attempted to escape the cage after failing to pin Rollins with a GTS finisher, but Rollins thwarted his efforts. After a series of near-falls, including a curb stomp from Rollins, the tension escalated until Reigns made his dramatic return.

Roman Reigns Causes Chaos on WWE Raw

Reigns created havoc both inside and outside the ring, delivering a Superman Punch and a Spear to Rollins. Just as he was about to use the steel ring steps against Rollins, security intervened. Noticing Paul Heyman checking on Punk, Reigns entered the ring and assaulted Punk, slamming him against the steel cage wall before finishing with a spear, signaling the end of WWE Raw.

Despite not suffering any significant injuries during his last televised match at the men’s Royal Rumble 2025, WWE had previously indicated that Reigns was dealing with an injury from a carb-stomp by Rollins on the steel steps. His return on WWE Raw suggests a looming triple threat match involving Rollins and Punk at Wrestlemania 41.
