Roman Reigns says he’s preparing to match his return with the belt on Cody Rhodes’ shoulders

Roman Reigns has broken his silence about his highly anticipated return, and his latest statement has sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe. The Tribal Chief has revealed that he is preparing to return at the perfect moment—when the Undisputed WWE Championship is once again on Cody Rhodes’ shoulders.


Reigns, who has been absent from WWE since losing his title to Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, has remained largely quiet about his future. However, in a recent interview, he made it clear that his mission is far from over. “I’m preparing for the right time. When that belt is back on Cody’s shoulders, I’ll be ready,” Reigns declared.

The comment has sparked intense speculation about his return strategy. While many believed that Reigns would immediately go after Rhodes upon returning, this statement suggests that he is playing the long game—waiting for Rhodes to regain the Undisputed WWE Championship before stepping in to reclaim what he lost.


At WrestleMania 40, Cody Rhodes finally finished his story by defeating Reigns, ending his historic 1,316-day reign as champion. However, since then, WWE’s title scene has undergone significant changes. With Rhodes losing the belt to Damian Priest after a Money in the Bank cash-in, the championship has taken unexpected turns. If Reigns is targeting Rhodes specifically, it suggests he believes that the American Nightmare will once again rise to the top.


For Reigns, it might not just be about the title—it could be about redemption. He had dominated WWE for over three years, dismantling legends like Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and even The Rock. Losing to Rhodes on the grandest stage of them all was a major blow, and Reigns is clearly looking to correct what he sees as a wrong.

While Reigns has been away, The Bloodline has undergone major shifts. Solo Sikoa has emerged as the new leader, recruiting Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, and even sidelining Jimmy Uso. With Paul Heyman still in the mix, it’s unclear where Reigns fits into this new dynamic. Will he return to reclaim his spot as the Head of the Table, or will he have to fight his way back into his own faction?

If Reigns is indeed waiting for Rhodes to become champion again, it could mean WWE is setting up Reigns vs. Rhodes II for WrestleMania 41. The first match was one of the biggest moments in WWE history, and a rematch could be even more intense—especially if Reigns is fueled by revenge.

With Roman Reigns plotting his return and Cody Rhodes still in the championship picture, WWE fans are on high alert. Will Reigns’ plan work out as he envisions? Or will Rhodes take a different path, forcing the Tribal Chief to alter his strategy? One thing is certain—when Reigns does return, it will be nothing short of historic.
