The WWE Universe was left in shock on the March 10, 2025, edition of Monday Night Raw as Roman Reigns made a stunning return to the red brand, delivering a brutal Spear and vicious Stomp to Seth Rollins. The unanticipated appearance of “The Tribal Chief” sent waves through the arena, reigniting one of the most intense rivalries in WWE history.
The Main Event: Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre
The night’s main event featured Seth Rollins defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Warrior, fresh off a string of dominant performances, looked to finally claim the gold after coming up short at Elimination Chamber. Rollins, ever the resilient champion, countered McIntyre’s raw power with agility and technical prowess.
The match was a brutal, hard-hitting affair, with both men pulling out all the stops. Rollins hit a spectacular Falcon Arrow, followed by a superkick that sent McIntyre stumbling. However, McIntyre roared back with a thunderous Future Shock DDT, nearly securing the victory. As the battle reached its climax, McIntyre set up for the Claymore, but Rollins dodged at the last second, countering with a Pedigree that left both men down on the mat.
The Shocking Return of Roman Reigns
Just as Rollins was setting up for the Curb Stomp to put McIntyre away, the unmistakable sound of Roman Reigns’ theme music echoed through the arena. The crowd erupted as “The Head of the Table” emerged from the stage, his presence alone sending a chill through the WWE Universe.
Rollins, momentarily distracted, turned his attention toward his former Shield brother, allowing McIntyre to recover. However, before McIntyre could capitalize, Reigns stormed the ring with an intense glare. He first dropped McIntyre with a Superman Punch, knocking him out of the equation. Rollins, realizing the danger, attempted a desperate superkick, but Reigns caught his foot and countered with a devastating Spear, folding Rollins in half.
A Message Sent: Reigns Stomps Rollins
If the Spear wasn’t enough, Reigns shocked the world by delivering a Stomp of his own to Rollins, using his opponent’s signature move as a statement. The symbolism was clear—Reigns was here to reclaim his dominance, and no one, not even the reigning champion, was safe.
Why Did Roman Reigns Return?
As Reigns stood over Rollins, Paul Heyman walked out onto the stage, smiling knowingly. The message was clear: Roman Reigns was back in the title picture. After losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40, Reigns had stepped away from the spotlight, but his return suggested he was gunning for the World Heavyweight Championship.
McIntyre, now recovered, looked on from ringside with anger, realizing that his own title shot had been stolen by Reigns’ interference. Meanwhile, Rollins lay motionless in the ring as Reigns and Heyman exited, leaving the WWE Universe buzzing about what this meant for the WrestleMania 41 main event.
What’s Next?
With Reigns back in the fold, questions loom: Is he targeting Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship? Will McIntyre get another shot? And is this the beginning of another Shield-fueled war? One thing is certain—Monday Night Raw will never be the same again.
