WWE superstar Roman Reigns is expected to reunite with a key figure from his past at SummerSlam after 56 months. This surprise development is building major anticipation among fans, as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion returns to the spotlight following a long absence from weekly television.
Reigns, who has dominated WWE’s main event scene for years, is reportedly set to reunite with Dean Ambrose (now known as Jon Moxley in AEW) or Seth Rollins — both former members of The Shield — though official confirmation is yet to be made. If it involves either of them, it would mark a major moment in WWE history. The Shield was one of WWE’s most iconic factions, and a reunion after nearly five years would instantly become one of the most talked-about moments of 2024.
The last time all three members of The Shield stood together in a WWE ring was in 2019, before Ambrose’s departure from the company. Since then, Roman Reigns has taken on a new persona as “The Tribal Chief,” becoming the centerpiece of WWE’s storytelling and achieving a record-breaking title reign.
His absence from WWE programming in recent months has been due to injury and creative direction, but the build-up to SummerSlam 2024 suggests WWE is planning something massive to welcome him back into the spotlight. A reunion would not only spark nostalgia among fans but also reset major storylines heading into the remainder of the year.
While WWE has not officially announced the nature of this reunion, speculation continues to grow across social media platforms and within wrestling circles. With SummerSlam known for delivering shocking moments and returns, the timing appears perfect for such a significant development.
If this reunion goes as expected, it could reshape the WWE landscape heading into the next big pay-per-view season and possibly even WrestleMania 41. For now, all eyes are on SummerSlam, as fans wait to see who Roman Reigns will stand beside after more than four years apart.
