After his shocking return on Monday Night RAW on Netflix, WWE's Roman Reigns sent a message to fans. He posted an image of him and his Wiseman, Paul Heyman, backstage at Madison Square Garden. Reigns is demanding acknowledgment from the WWE Universe.

In the midst of a brutal steel cage main event between Seth Rollins and CM Punk, Reigns made a shocking return, dragging Rollins out of the cage to hand him the win—only to unleash a relentless beating on him outside the ring.

Fans and insiders were perfectly aware that the return of Roman Reigns was now imminent. At the beginning of 2025, the former world champion had defeated Solo Sikoa in the first episode of Raw on Netflix and had been among the protagonists of the men's Royal Rumble match in early February.
