What's next for Roman Reigns following WWE Survivor Series 2025?

Roman Reigns returned to the Stamford-based promotion to eliminate Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, and The Vision from the weekly product. However, the plot pivoted as The Vision turned on The Visionary following his injury in Perth, Australia, and kicked him out of the group in October 2025.

Meanwhile, Reigns' losing streak continued as The Original Tribal Chief and his team failed to win the WarGames match in California. In the end, the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion teased unfinished business with The American Nightmare and reconciled with The Second City Saint in California.

There's a high chance that Reigns could go after Cody Rhodes in 2026 to finish their trilogy, which started at WrestleMania 39. While the plans are not locked, the management teased the two crossing paths sometime in the near future. It'll be interesting to see what's next for The Original Tribal Chief in the coming months.
