Roman Reigns WWE return: 'OTC' to replace controversial star in Money in the Bank match and teach Seth Rollins a lesson?

Roman Reigns WWE return: The Money in the Bank Premium Live Event (PLE) is almost upon us. The show will be held in Inglewood on June 7. It will feature the titular match in which six men from Raw and SmackDown will lock horns to secure the coveted briefcase that guarantees them the right to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship or the Undisputed Championship at a time and place of their choosing. The participants are LA Knight, Solo Sikoa, El Grande Americano, Andrade, Seth Rollins, and Penta. One of these stars, however, may not make it to the match if Roman Reigns has his way.?

Roman Reigns to give Seth Rollins the shock of a lifetime?

Reigns has not been seen on WWE programming since the Raw after WrestleMania 41 when Bron Breakker speared him through the barricade. In doing so, ‘The Unpredictable Badass’ aligned with the OTC’s arch-rival Seth Rollins. Rollins, who has since then been joined by Bronson Reed, plans to capture the briefcase and change the landscape of the company forever. His plans may, however, go for a toss if Reigns finds a way to insert himself into the marquee match and win it.

?Hypothetically, he could do so by taking out and replacing El Grande Americano in the contest. The ‘legendary luchador’ has been a nightmare for masked wrestlers ever since his debut a few months ago. Many believe that Raw’s Chad Gable is under the mask, which makes this character all the more controversial.?

As such, taking out such a notorious re-establish Reigns as a face (good guy) and add some much-needed star power to the marquee ladder match. Going down this route will help Reigns reignite his personal rivalry with Seth Rollins and possibly teach his faction a lesson. Inserting Reigns into the match will also allow the WWE to revisit (even if briefly) OTC’s chequered past with his cousin Solo Sikoa, who had him removed from The Bloodline.?

That said, this angle is purely speculative as things stand.?

Why does Roman Reigns hate Seth Rollins?

Reigns and Seth Rollins were once part of the group called The Shield, which ruled the WWE. ‘The Visionary’, however, betrayed him many years ago. This led to the downfall of their ? relationship. Things hit rock bottom at WrestleMania 41 when Paul Heyman– the former Big Dog’s ‘Wiseman’-- betrayed him on Rollins’ orders. Heyman also stabbed his ‘friend’ CM Punk in the back on that fateful night.
