Roman Reigns is officially set to return to SmackDown as WWE builds momentum toward WrestleMania 41. After weeks from television, WWE announced that The Tribal Chief will appear live on March 21 in Bologna, Italy, and March 28 in London, England.

Reigns has been absent since suffering a storyline injury at the hands of Seth Rollins. While the injury was used to explain his break from television, he was never hurt. Rollins has since taken credit for sidelining Reigns, adding further fuel to their long-standing rivalry.

With WrestleMania 41 fast approaching, Reigns’ return is expected to bring major developments. His issues with Seth Rollins and CM Punk remain unresolved, setting the stage for an intense SmackDown showdown when he returns.
