The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) pulled off the biggest surprise for fans during the latest episode of Monday Night Raw on July 14, as superstar Roman Reigns stunned everyone by making a comeback. A jam-packed crowd at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, couldn’t believe their eyes seeing the former WWE Champion and Tribal Chief Roman Reigns return after months.

Away from the spotlight since WrestleMania 41, Reigns got the whole arena erupting in shock and disbelief once his music started playing towards the dying moments of the Gauntlet match between CM Punk and Bron Breakker.

The powerful wrestler stormed into the ring and rescued Punk and his cousin Jey Uso after Seth Rollins’ goons, Breakker and Bronson Reed, started attacking them. The show closed with fans anticipating more of Reigns at the WWE with the marquee SummerSlam event at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, to be held in a few weeks.

The rumours are that Reigns was always part of the company’s planning for the SummerSlam in New York and thus returned with the Monday Night Raw in Alabama, drawing the episode to a fantastic closure while also providing a snapshot of what viewers can expect at the upcoming WWE special.

Punk and Breakker had entered an intense fight in the final leg of the Guntlet match to determine who would face Gunther for the World Heavyweight title at SummerSlam. The two wrestlers gave each other a hard time, landing heavy blows on each other.

Fans enjoyed the captivating showdown before Punk eventually came out triumphant.

Just as Punk started celebrating, Breed intervened and attacked the experienced star. Jey Uso then rushed to come out in his support. However, the Breakker-Reed duo seemed to have an upper hand on the two.

It is when Reigns arrived to everyone’s disbelief. The music quickly died down as Reigns rushed to the ring to save Punk and his cousin, Uso, assisting him in standing up.

Reigns even seemed to get along well with Punk, having previously had problems with him. What fans are now anticipating is one of the greatest events of the year, with a potential Reigns versus Breakker clash.
