Roman Reigns has been absent from WWE programming since his elimination from the Men’s Royal Rumble match by CM Punk. The situation worsened when Seth Rollins delivered multiple stomps to Reigns, forcing the Undisputed Tribal Chief to take time away from action.
Despite some reports suggesting WWE planned Reigns’ absence to extend through Elimination Chamber 2025, new speculation indicates he might make a surprise appearance at the Toronto premium live event to confront The Rock.
The potential confrontation would center around The Final Boss making an offer to Cody Rhodes without consulting Reigns, who was acknowledged by The Rock as the Undisputed Tribal Chief during RAW’s Netflix debut when he presented Reigns with the Ula Fala.
