There are currently rumors that some of what we've seen on-screen in WWE in recent weeks is preparation for the return of Roman Reigns.

It's hard to believe, but it has been four months since Roman Reigns revealed to the world that he is battling leukemia. Since that heartbreaking night, we have naturally not heard much from The Big Dog. Just the odd, reassuring confirmation from friends of his in the business that he is doing well.

How well Reigns doing is currently unknown except by those closest to him, and we assume WWE. One thing is for certain, when the former Universal Champion does make a comeback, the reaction from the crowd will be deafening. If some recent speculation turns out to be true, we might not have to wait as long as we thought to see Reigns back between the ropes.

According to Wrestling News, there are a couple of indicators that might point towards an imminent Reigns return. First of all, the powerbomb to Braun Strowman at Elimination Chamber. Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley delivered the move to The Monster. Apparently, Vince McMahon made it abundantly clear to his announcers that they should hammer home that it is typically a move used by The Shield, which they did.

The reported angle will revolve around Strowman continually being ganged up on by the three stars until he is eventually aided by The Shield. Now comes the second clue. Dean Ambrose has been inexplicably flipped back to being a babyface for the past two weeks. Again, the assumption is that has been done so he can side with Reigns and Strowman to help even the odds if The Big Dog does indeed come back soon.

This is all great news if it does turn out to be true. We are also assuming that Seth Rollins will have little-to-no part to play in the angle. Reigns return plus Ambrose and Strowman will make it a three on three affair. The playing field will be level and Rollins has his hands full with Brock Lesnar anyway. So maybe we will be seeing Reigns on the WrestleMania 35 card after all. Watch this space.
