Roman Reign is being announced for several WWE events.

Reigns and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will face Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at Bad Blood on Saturday. Reigns is advertised for the Survivor Series event on November 30 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where he is expected to work the WarGames match.

WWE announced earlier this week that tickets for the Royal Rumble 2025, which will take place on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, will go on sale Friday, November 15 at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT through Ticketmaster.com.

The first promotional material for the event has been released, and Reigns is listed alongside several other top stars. This confirmed that WWE is currently planning for Reigns to attend the show.

However, it was speculated as to what he would do. WrestleVotes was asked during a Q&A on SportsKeeda’s WrestleBinge YouTube channel if Reigns would be in the Royal Rumble Match because he appears on the poster. WrestleVotes speculated that Reigns may be working the Royal Rumble Match, which he hasn’t done since 2020.

“Good question. It’s hard to say that is what the indication is for. The signs clearly are there because of the design of the poster that he’s working the event. It seems to be and just from just the short questions that I asked that I got back, he’s probably more likely to be in the Rumble for the first time in a while as opposed to a singles stand-alone match…All I can say is Roman’s on the Rumble poster, likely to be in the Rumble match. You can draw your own conclusions from there [regarding a third match with Reigns at WrestleMania.”
