Roman Reigns made his surprise return to WWE programming on Sunday night, attacking both “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman after the WWE Universal Championship match at SummerSlam. It doesn’t look like WWE will waste any time putting Reigns back in the championship picture, as a No Holds Barred Universal Championship Triple Threat Match has been booked between Reigns, The Fiend and Strowman for this Sunday’s Payback pay-per-view.
