Roman Reigns is back.

Nearly four months since Reigns lost the Undisputed WWE Championship in a match against Cody Rhodes, the "Head of the Table" made an emphatic return to the ring and took out Solo Sikoa in the SummerSlam main event. It opened the door for Rhodes to get the win and defend his championship.

Reigns came out to Cleveland Browns Stadium with an extraordinary pop. He clocked Sikoa with a Superman Punch and then connected on the spear. Sikoa was down for the count as Rhodes hit his finishing maneuver. Rhodes stared Reigns down as he won the match.

The former champ’s return came as Sikoa took over The Bloodline. Without Reigns or an Uso by his side, Sikoa bolstered his faction with Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu. As Tonga and Fatu won tag-team gold on the SmackDown before SummerSlam, Sikoa was looking for some gold of his own. But the "Original Tribal Chief" shattered those dreams.

Rhodes was one of two champions to retain their titles over the course of the night.
