Roman Reigns is the 1 again.
Reigns made his return during the closing segment on Monday’s WWE RAW after CM Punk beat Bron Breakker to earn a WWE World title match at SummerSlam. The scene in the ring turned into chaos, as Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker attacked both Punk and Jey Uso, who tried to make the save.
Roman Reigns walked down to the ring and promptly saved the day, making his first appearance on WWE TV since the night after WrestleMania 41. Fans might have noticed that Reigns was wearing a new shirt that featured his RR logo in a circle and TC1. This has now been confirmed as “OTC1,” which will be his new nickname moving forward.
WWE Shop has a new “OTC1 Collection” of merchandise, which includes two shirts, gloves, and a Tribal Chief Championship. This name was first reported as being workshopped by @WrestleVotes earlier this month. Sources claimed that OTC1 was how Reigns would be marketed to hype his in-ring return, which is expected at SummerSlam.
Who will Roman Reigns feud with?
It’s unclear what Roman Reigns’ plans at SummerSlam are right now. Based on Monday night’s events, it’s speculated that he could work against Bron Breakker or Bronson Reed. However, WWE has not confirmed any plans for Reigns at this time. Multiple title matches were confirmed for SummerSlam on Monday night. Musician Jelly Roll’s tag team match was also confirmed on Friday’s episode of SmackDown.
Last week, Paul Heyman called Reigns out on RAW, claiming that Reigns didn’t have the balls to come back and step up against his new stable. Well, Reigns called that bluff and returned to save the day. Now we just have to wait and see who he steps in the ring with at SummerSlam.
Check out everything that went down on WWE RAW here. Roman Reigns commented on his return after the show. Paul Heyman did too, although Heyman’s remarks were a little more heated than the OTC1’s statement.
