Roman Reigns has been absent from WWE for about two months.

The last time fans saw him in WWE was at Survivor Series, where he took part in the WarGames match and wrestled for the babyface team. His team consisted of CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and his cousins Jimmy and Jey Uso.

The babyface team went against the heel team, consisting of The Vision’s Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Brock Lesnar, and Drew McIntyre.

The match saw the babyface team lose because a hooded mystery man, who later turned out to be Austin Theory, attacked Punk, which allowed Bron Breakker to take advantage and pin The Second City Saint to win the match for his team.

Roman Reigns is currently absent, building hype around his return. He is not injured or anything. WWE is just planning to bring him back at the right time to get the best and loudest reaction from the crowd.

It is rumored that Reigns will return around or at the Royal Rumble 2026 event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
