Roman Reigns was notably absent from WWE RAW after Survivor Series 2025. Many believe that the Original Tribal Chief has gone on hiatus again. In his absence, Jey Uso locked horns with LA Knight on the red brand in the semi-finals of the Last Time is Now Tournament.Despite all his efforts, the Samoan star failed to beat The Megastar, resulting in a loss in this major showdown. As a result, Knight advanced to the finals and will face Gunther to become John Cena's last opponent.Following this loss, Jey snapped and started wrecking the ringside area. The YEET Master was visibly frustrated, and in a backstage segment, he revealed that the World title only looks good on the Head of the Table.Considering the crash-out of Jey Uso, Roman Reigns might change everything for his real-life cousin by bringing back Rikishi as his newest manager. It's been a long time since we have seen the Hall of Famer on WWE television.For those who might not know, Rikishi is the real-life father of The Usos, and his return and joining forces with Jey purely make sense. If the veteran star accompanies the YEET Master on Monday Night RAW, it can bring a drastic change for him.With his father's help, Jey will get some clear direction after the recent losses and rebuild himself on the road to Royal Rumble 2026. The reason Roman Reigns may get involved in this matter is that it will show he is the Head of the Family and truly cares about his family members.As of now, there is no official update on Rikishi's return, and this article is based solely on speculation. It will be interesting to see how Triple H will book Jey Uso following his crash-out on Monday Night RAW.When is Roman Reigns expected to make his WWE return?Currently, WWE is not promoting Roman Reigns' return, but the OTC is expected to be part of John Cena's final match at Saturday Night's Main Event.
