When Will Former WWE Champion Roman Reigns Make His Return?
Roman Reigns has been on a break from WWE since Survivor Series 2024. The Head of the Table has been on a part-time deal with WWE since 2022 and makes sporadic appearances. Here, we tell you when Roman Reigns will make his WWE return.
Roman Reigns has been away from WWE since the Survivor Series 2024, which took place on December 30th. The OTC teamed up with the members of the OG Bloodline and CM Punk against the new Bloodline in a winning cause in the WarGames match. Reigns was expected to stay off the TV after the show and he hasn’t made an appearance yet.
The fans are eagerly waiting for Reigns’ return and their wait is set to end soon. The OTC will make his return to WWE on the first Raw of 2025. WWE has already announced that he will square off against Solo Sikoa in a one-on-one match.
Reigns is only advertised for that show at present. He is confirmed to participate at the Royal Rumble, scheduled to take place on February 1. His participation at the Elimination Chamber isn’t confirmed yet.
Reigns could start a rivalry against The Rock on January 6 if The Final Boss makes his WWE return. The Rock is all but confirmed to perform at Wrestlemania 41 but his opponent isn’t decided yet.
He teased a match against Reigns or Cody Rhodes upon his return at Bad Blood. If The Rock faces Cody, then it will be for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Cody won the title at Wrestlemania 40 and has been holding it since then.
If he is facing Reigns, then it will be a non-title match. Cody is in a storyline against Kevin Owens. Even though he defeated Owens at Saturday Night’s Main Event, their storyline isn’t over yet. Cody could defend his title at Royal Rumble against the same opponent.
John Cena confirmed to return
Apart from Reigns, John Cena is also confirmed to make his WWE return on Raw’s Netflix debut on January 6. The WWE legend will kick off his retirement tour from the show. Cena is confirmed to perform at Royal Rumble and the Elimination Chamber.

Welcome to Car and Driver’s Testing Hub, where we zoom in on the test numbers. We’ve been pushing vehicles to their limits since 1956 to provide objective data to bolster our subjective impressions (you can see how we test here).
Now that we’ve had a Volkswagen ID.Buzz at our office and put it through our rigorous testing, we figured it’s as good a time as any to compare its test results with the Kia EV9. As things currently stand, the pair are the most affordable family-sized three-row EVs that you can buy.
For the 2025 model year, the entry-level, rear-drive version of the Kia starts at $56,395, while VW’s van carries a $61,545 base price. All-wheel-drive models start at $65,395 and $69,545, respectively, but the ones we tested had most of the best features, making them quite a bit pricier—$72,065 for the ID.Buzz Pro S Plus and over $77K for the EV9 GT-Line.
An EV’s driving range is one of its biggest selling points. Of course, there’s typically a big difference between the EPA’s combined-range figure that’s listed on the window sticker and what you’ll see in real life, especially at sustained highway speeds. Going, say, 75 mph at a steady cruise will suck the juice out of the battery much quicker than schlepping around town at a slower, stop-and-go pace. The former scenario is what our real-world highway test aims to replicate. It’s also where the EV9 GT-Line, which features a 99.8-kWh battery, made it 240 miles on a full charge. That’s 30 miles shy of its 270-mile EPA estimate, but it’s also 50 miles farther than the ID.Buzz Pro S Plus.
The VW only made it 190 miles in our highway test—41 miles short of its 231-mile EPA estimate. It’s worth noting the ID.Buzz has a smaller 86.0-kWh battery capacity, but it still consumed more energy on the highway than the EV9, with the van averaging 2.2 miles per kilowatt-hour versus the SUV’s 2.4 mi/kWh. The electric SUV also has a slight advantage when it comes to DC fast-charging, where its 215-kW peak is higher than the Buzz’s 200 kW—though our test model slightly outperformed its claimed peak. The EV9 GT-Line’s fast-charging time was impressive, going from 10 to 90 percent in 38 minutes, with the electric van taking just 33 minutes thanks to its smaller battery.
