Roman Reigns Electrifies WWE Raw with Triumphant Return

Monday Night Raw on September 29th, 2025, became the stage for a seismic shift in the WWE landscape with the thunderous return of Roman Reigns. After a month away, the self-styled Tribal Chief re-entered the arena to a buzzing crowd, immediately changing the trajectory of the main event and the evolving drama of The Bloodline.

Chaos and Kinship in the Main Event

The main event saw The Usos, Jimmy and Jey, locked in a brutal tornado tag match against The Vision and The Brons. With The Usos on the verge of defeat after a devastating double Tsunami, the arena erupted: Roman Reigns stormed in, chair in hand, and violently laid out their opponents. Reigns' intervention allowed The Usos to seize the moment and clinch the victory. But it was his presence after the bell that truly mattered. In a telling moment, Reigns offered Jey a silent but clear endorsement, uttering, “ain’t nobody going to give it to you, you have to take it.” This silent transfer of power, observed by a tense Jimmy Uso from the shadows, signals deeper rifts and evolving roles within the family.

Raw’s Other Defining Moments

The night was packed with other high-stakes drama echoing The Bloodline’s themes of betrayal and shifting loyalties:

Rhea Ripley confronted former allies, the Kabuki Warriors, after a shocking betrayal, culminating in Asuka unleashing her poison mist on Iyo Sky.
Dominik Mysterio maintained his controversial reign as Intercontinental Champion, narrowly escaping with a win through his classic “Dirty Dom” cheating tactics.
A video package intensified the Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes rivalry, setting the stage for a high-stakes match at Crown Jewel where Rollins vowed to "rectify the timeline."

What's Next for The Bloodline?

Roman Reigns’ return is more than a triumphant comeback; it's a catalyst for the next chapter of The Bloodline. His endorsement of Jey and the palpable tension with Jimmy hint at an evolving power dynamic and a looming struggle for dominance.

The episode closed with Reigns standing tall, The Usos at his side, leaving a clear message: the saga of family, loyalty, and the relentless pursuit of power is far from over. The Tribal Chief never forgets, and the WWE Universe won't forget this night.
