Roman Reigns has been basking in his glory after winning the WarGames Match against The Bloodline at Survivor Series. He will not appear on any WWE shows for the rest of the year but is advertised for Raw’s debut on Netflix. Now, a new report has emerged that suggests that The OTC will not only be appearing but will also be competing for the first time in more than two years on the red brand.
According to Dr. Chris Featherstone, Roman Reigns is currently scheduled to participate in a matchup on Monday Night Raw’s debut on Netflix next month. While it is under wraps who Reigns’ opponent could be, he is internally positioned to be involved in a high-profile clash on the night.
Additionally, this appearance will mark Reigns’ first match on Raw in 896 days. His last bout on the red brand was a six-man tag team match in which he teamed alongside The Usos against The Street Profits and Riddle. This time, The Needle Mover is most likely set to compete in a singles match.

As it appears, The Head of the Table is expected to face Solo Sikoa for the first time ever to settle their conflicts once and for all with the Ula Fala on the line. Another potential match that Reigns could have is against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. The 39-year-old star is reportedly going to have a major role in the Netflix era of WWE, which starts in January.
The Undertaker credits Paul Heyman for the meteoric rise of Roman Reigns as Tribal Chief in WWE
Roman Reigns has reigned supreme in WWE as The Tribal Chief for over four years. Backed by The Bloodline, he had held the Undisputed WWE Championship for 1316 days. A key figure in this dominant run has been Paul Heyman, whose influence has been pivotal in shaping Reigns’ character. Recently, The Undertaker praised Heyman, acknowledging his instrumental role in crafting such a journey.
Speaking on Six Feet Under, The Deadman admitted that Heyman’s involvement was the key in the skyrocket journey of The Needle Mover to the top. He emphasized that Reigns’ astounding charisma as a heel deserves recognition, but Heyman’s contributions play an equally pivotal role in the entire Bloodline saga.
Roman, he has come light years from where he was at, and he was already in a good spot, but he came light years, and I think there’s a lot of that he could take credit for, but Paul needs his credit.

The Phenom himself acknowledged that Heyman deserves full credit for being the mastermind behind some of WWE’s most compelling storylines. At 55, Heyman remains one of the most influential figures in WWE. His involvement with The Bloodline has added significant depth to their narrative, a fact made even more evident following his return ahead of Survivor Series alongside CM Punk.
