Roman Reigns Has Face Off With Another Former WrestleMania Rival After RAW Went Off Air

After the massive brawl with Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns faced one of his former WrestleMania rivals on WWE RAW.

The November 17 episode of WWE RAW aired from the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden, and featured many iconic moments that had the fans jumping out of their seats. From John Cena’s last RAW appearance to the six-man tag team match, the Women’s Intercontinental Championship change to Last Time is Now Tournament matches, fans loved every second of the show.

And WWE made sure to close off on an even higher note.

Roman Reigns Returns to WWE

The main event of the night was supposed to be a face-off between the two Survivor Series: WarGames teams, but it turned into a brawl instantaneously. Heyman brought their 5th member, which turned out to be the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar. He overpowered all the babyfaces and stood tall in the middle of the ring. The outnumbered team soon received help in the form of OTC, who came to the rescue.

The OTC has been away from WWE since October 11, Crown Jewel, where he lost against ‘Big’ Bronson Reed in an Australian Street Fight. As he entered the ring, Lesnar prepared for an attack, but was met with Reigns’ Superman Punch, which threw the Beast out of the ring. This fight soon turned into an uncontrollable brawl as the NYPD was involved to separate the two teams.

After the heel team was taken backstage, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, the Usos, and Reigns were left inside the ring. The situation grew tense after Reigns laid his eyes on Punk. Both wrestlers met at WrestleMania 41 Night 1 Main Event, which was Punk’s first ever WrestleMania Main Event, and Heyman betrayed Reigns and Punk that same night.

This led to an intense staredown between the two superstars, who were also arguing about something. They went their own ways after Reigns’ music hit, and everybody went backstage.

It would be interesting to see how the babyface team is going to take shape and how these wrestlers are going to put their differences aside and take out Team Paul Heyman.
