The Universal Champion gears up for a significant comeback after a noticeable absence.

In the ever-shifting world of professional wrestling, few names resonate as powerfully as Roman Reigns. The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, who has been conspicuously absent from the SmackDown scene, is now slated for a return. Reliable sources, including promotional material from the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, indicate that Reigns will be back in action on the October 13 episode of SmackDown.

This return is particularly noteworthy given Reigns’ absence since the August 11 episode, where fans witnessed the shocking scene of Jey Uso delivering a superkick to Reigns. This led to a series of events, including Jey’s move to WWE Raw, leaving many questions unanswered.

While Reigns has been off-screen, the SmackDown roster hasn’t been idle. With new alliances forming, like the pairing of Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa, and old rivalries brewing, the blue brand has kept the momentum going. But Reigns’ return is bound to shake things up, and the wrestling community is abuzz with speculation on what’s next for the Universal Champion.

The BOK Center’s promotional push, emphasizing Reigns’ return, suggests that WWE has big plans in store. As the date approaches, all eyes will be on SmackDown to see how the landscape changes with the Big Dog back in the yard.

SHOW UPDATE: Another @WWE Superstar is headed to Tulsa! Great new seats have been added so grab your tickets now and don’t miss the opportunity to see @WWERomanReigns live in action at BOK Center on October 13th!
