4 Reasons Why Roman Reigns Decided To Return To Raw This Week
Roman Reigns announced on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw that he was in remission and that "The Big Dog was back" after more than four months on the sidelines. It was later revealed by Fightful that it was completely Reigns' decision to return to the company immediately after he was given the green light from his cancer treatment, which could be why it seems to have happened so quickly.
Reigns announced that he was walking away from the company back on October 22nd, the same night that Dean Ambrose finally turned heel. Over the past four months, a lot has happened in WWE which could be why Reigns made the decision to return to WWE so soon. Either way here are four reasons why Reigns could have decided to come back to the company last night.
#4. Raw Ratings
Interestingly, Raw's ratings over the past few weeks haven't been what WWE would have wanted in the build-up to WrestleMania. Whilst last week's Raw ratings did see a sign of improvement, this was because WWE was forced to bring in a number of new NXT recruits to add some interest to the product.
WrestleMania season is WWE's busiest of the year and the fact that ratings don't seem to show will have the company panicking. Roman Reigns will have known that his return would have boosted last night's ratings and having him back in the company will add some excitement to WrestleMania.
Reigns is one of the company's top stars and a locker room leader. WWE needs him now more than ever before, with so many stars looking to move over to All Elite Wrestling. So it's completely feasible that Reigns wanted to return to his duties because he missed his friends and wanted to help WWE rebuild.
