He's on the way back, people.

Roman Reigns has been largely absent for a while due to being off Money In The Bank, but SummerSlam build is about to kick into high gear. You know what that means: Roman will be on Raw and/or SmackDown weekly. It also means a weekly dose of Brock Lesnar too.

This is a huge positive for both top brands, to be honest. Stars the level of Roman and Brock make WWE programming feel a little less throwaway, and they've worked some really interesting showdowns/confrontations on free TV before. More of that would help on the road to 30 July.

Fans shouldn't expect to see either man wrestle much (or, in Lesnar's case...at all), but they'll definitely have to produce the goods on the mic before that upcoming 'Last Man Standing' battle. Perhaps Reigns can work some open challenges and beat the snot out of lower-tier wrestlers.

Why not?
