Earlier this week, it was officially announced that Roman Reigns will be making his WWE return next week on Monday Night Raw. It’s also been confirmed that he’s been medically cleared. Roman’s viral illness was the worst luck considering The Shield had finally made their long-awaited reunion after three years. Reigns has been out of action for almost two months, but the powers that be found qualified replacements for him.
In Roman Reigns’ absence, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have been working alongside Triple H and Kurt Angle during WWE live events and at WWE TLC. The Game and The Olympic Hero becoming “honorary” members of The Hounds of Justice has been a huge selling point for WWE’s European tour. At first glance, it seems WWE officials chose them to replace Roman for fun, but they were carefully selected for a reason.
