Roman Reigns Returns to WWE Raw, Attacks Triple H

The road to WrestleMania is back, and so is Roman Reigns.

After WWE world heavyweight champion Triple H defeated Dolph Ziggler in a one-on-one match Monday night on Raw, Reigns returned for the first time since Feb. 22 to get his revenge on his WrestleMania 32 opponent.

Reigns and WWE's chief operating officer got into a brawl that spilled into the backstage area as the former champion bloodied the current champion on the left side of his head.

After Reigns won a Triple Threat match at Fastlane to become the No. 1 contender for the world title, WWE put the buildup between Reigns and Triple H on hold.

Triple H got his revenge in late February after Reigns attacked The Game at the conclusion of the Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view. A day after he took a Pedigree from the 14-time world champion on the steel steps, WWE.com announced Reigns would undergo reconstructive facial surgery.

Triple H was then involved with Dean Ambrose in a mini-feud that culminated in a match at WWE Roadblock, where The King of Kings defeated The Lunatic Fringe to retain the WWE world heavyweight title Saturday in Toronto.

Now with Reigns back on TV, the buildup to WrestleMania can go on as planned, as Reigns will likely win back the gold at the Showcase of the Immortals and begin a new reign as the top face of the company. 

But taking two weeks away from the buildup could be a costly move. WWE will need to use these final two weeks to ensure the main event on the biggest stage receives all the hype it can garner.
