Roman Reigns returns as The 946 continue to plague The Bloodline

For the first time since his hard-fought title defense against LA Knight at WWE Money in the Bank, World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns returns to Monday Night Raw. Last week, The 946 became an even bigger threat to The Bloodline after adding Carmelo Hayes to its ranks. How will The OTC respond?




— The show kicks off with a video recapping Carmelo Hayes joining The 946 last Monday.

— Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett then greet audiences at home as Sami Zayn makes his way to the ring.

Zayn says he sees there's some haters in the house judging from the boos of the crowd, but still asks how many people came to ride or die with him.

Roman Reigns' music hits and he makes his way out.

Reigns admits it's good to see Zayn and Zayn hugs Reigns. Zayn reciprocates the favor and says he's been wanting to contract Reigns, then says he understands what Reigns was talking about with the burden and the disrespects Reigns told him about what being a champion meant in The Bloodline.

Reigns tells San Diego to acknowledge him and says the giant responsibility sitting on Zayn's shoulder right now is tough because everyone wants it. He says the most important title Zayn has ever had is "Honorary Uce" and asks Zayn if they're in the ring to talk about titles or The 946. He asks if Zayn is in the ring out of greed or love and if he's there to serve The Bloodline.

Zayn reminds Reigns that he's Undisputed WWE Champion, but Reigns says it might have nothing to do with the title at all and the man holding it. He says the Undisputed WWE Championship hasn't meant anything since WWE WrestleMania 40 and says the World Heavyweight Championship means a lot, but Zayn says only one man on the planet is Undisputed WWE Champion and that would be him. Zayn says Reigns has no idea what threat he poses, but Reigns says he knows exactly who Zayn is and says with his track record, Zayn might not be Undisputed WWE Champion before WWE Crown Jewel rolls around.

2026 Men's Money In The Bank briefcase holder Penta's music hits and he makes his way to the ring for his upcoming match, staring down Reigns at the bottom of the entrance ramp and Zayn inside the ring. Bron Breakker follows.
