WWE Star Roman Reigns returned at WWE SummerSlam and nobody saw it coming. It was a huge surprise for WWE Universe. He is back with a new attitude and he is going to challenge the The Fiend for the title at WWE Payback.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed a very likely scenario about how things will play out from here. It appears that WWE is going with their cancelled WrestleMania 36 plans prior to determining that a Goldberg return was needed for the show of shows. The triple threat match at WWE Payback will be a placeholder before WWE can get to the big match they want.
“The big match is probably gonna be Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt which is the match that they were originally gonna have at WrestleMania before Vince changed his mind and went with Goldberg. That had been planned probably since October, so that’s the direction they’re going in now, but they didn’t want to go right away and with a one-week build it would have been stupid to do it right away.”
