Roman Reigns will be back, but his return is not happening any time soon. His name hasn’t been brought up backstage in a while.

You can never count WWE out from pulling off another secret that only Vince McMahon, Bruce Prichard, Kevin Dunn and the returning Superstar are aware of. Right now there is no indication that the Big Dog’s return is imminent.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
