WWE has confirmed Roman Reigns will return to television with scheduled appearances on SmackDown on March 21 and 28. The Undisputed Tribal Chief has been absent from WWE programming, but his comeback comes at a critical time as WrestleMania 41 approaches.
While WWE hasn’t announced specific plans for Reigns during these appearances, recent developments suggest a potential confrontation with The Rock might be brewing. The Final Boss recently approached Cody Rhodes with an offer to become “his” champion, a move that directly intersects with Reigns’ interests.
This situation creates natural tension given Reigns’ stated goal of reclaiming the Undisputed WWE Championship. The timing of his return provides perfect opportunity for him to address his legendary cousin’s recent actions and question The Rock’s motives.

Given their family ties, Reigns could reasonably challenge why The Rock didn’t approach him with such an opportunity instead of Rhodes. This interaction wouldn’t necessarily impact immediate WrestleMania plans but could establish groundwork for compelling storylines following WWE’s premier event.
Any potential confrontation between the two Bloodline members depends significantly on Cody Rhodes’ response at Elimination Chamber. While currently speculation, the March SmackDown episodes offer ideal timing for this family drama to unfold as WrestleMania season intensifies.
