The July 21 episode of WWE Raw took place at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, delivering an action-packed night for the Red Brand. Roman Reigns, who made a big comeback last week, was seen having a tense conversation with his former advisor Paul Heyman.
In the show’s final segment, Paul Heyman, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breakker entered the ring but were soon interrupted by Roman Reigns, who stopped them amid loud cheers from the Houston crowd. After Heyman made an attempt to speak, the audience quickly turned against him with boos and chants of dislike, drowning out his words.
Heyman insisted that Seth Rollins would take action, but fans responded with “f*ck up” chants. Heyman tried to rally Roman by saying they were growing stronger as a family, expressing his deep affection for Roman as the Tribal Chief. However, Roman dismissed Heyman’s remarks, calling him foolish and warning Bron Breakker to be cautious, implying Heyman might betray him after claiming all the credit for his success. Roman acknowledged Heyman helped him become champion but didn’t help him keep the title, which he eventually lost after four years.
Roman also declared that Heyman could never replicate his legacy and warned Bron Breakker as the crowd jeered. He revealed that Heyman, once a close ally, was discarded in favor of commercial interests and Seth Rollins. Roman vowed not to let his legacy be tarnished by Heyman’s actions.
At this point, Bron Breakker challenged Roman, saying that he was no longer wanted and was “old news.” Breakker claimed Heyman would never betray him and asserted himself as the future of WWE. The confrontation escalated until Roman responded with a Superman Punch, followed by Bronson Reed joining the attack, only to be stopped by Jey Uso rushing to Roman’s aid.
The episode concluded with Roman Reigns escaping the assault, marking a significant return for the Tribal Chief on WWE Raw.
Roman Reigns is back in full force, and it’s clear he has plenty to settle moving forward.
Fan Take: Roman Reigns’ return revives the intense drama and power struggles that WWE fans crave, making the show more compelling. His ongoing conflicts with former allies and rising stars could set the stage for fresh storylines and memorable matches that energize WWE’s future.
