Roman Reigns was at the top of the WWE food chain during his previous run, fresh off conquering the "Beast" Brock Lesnar but a piece of tragic news derailed his championship run. Roman was diagnosed with Leukemia and was forced to relinquish the title.

Roman's absence left a huge void on the show and several changes were made to compensate for his absence. Multiple Superstars switched roles to evenly balance the dynamics between the heels and the faces in the mid and upper mid-card. Additionally, according to the Chairman, Vince McMahon himself accepted the fact that the loss of star power in Reigns was one of the reasons for low ratings.

Reigns returned last week on RAW and announced his remission and went ahead with physical altercations with Lashley, Corbin, and McIntyre later during the show.

What does this week's RAW have in store for Reigns?

Here are the five segments that Reigns could be involved in.

#5 Deny a Universal championship opportunity

Vince McMahon is on a spree to garner more and more attention towards the product by making more controversial decisions. First, even after Becky Lynch apologized to the Authority, the Chairman came out and replaced her with Charlotte and added a 60-day suspension over it. The footage created history and became the most 'disliked' video on WWE's YouTube channel.

Again, on last week's SmackDown, when Kofi was about to sign the contract, Vince interrupted and brought back Kevin Owens to replace Kofi in the WWE championship match.

Vince could do it again, and this time he could sack Seth Rollins using his injuries as the reason and would replace him with Roman Reigns. This could really turn the WWE universe against Reigns if he accepts. While it would cement him as a pure babyface if he rejects the proposal and argues that Seth deserves it more. WWE won't risk turning the fans on Roman again and this would be a nice way to let him stay over as a face.
