WWE has revealed a significant plot point for the next Monday Night Raw. Roman Reigns’ acknowledgment ceremony was planned by the WWE at first. The Usos announced earlier this week that every member of the Samoan family will attend the historic show. WWE has already abandoned that angle, though.
Sami Zayn will instead go on trial before the Tribal Court. Sami will be required to stand trial before Roman Reigns. Since last week’s Smackdown, his actions have been under scrutiny. Reigns ignored Sami on this week’s program and entered the arena alongside The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and Paul Heyman.
Next week, Sami will have to defend his behavior. Watching to see whether celebrities like Rikishi, Afa, Sika, and others turn up on the program will be intriguing. The Rock might have taken part in the Acknowledgment Ceremony. If The Rock is making a comeback, the studio will need to develop a fresh plot to include him in.
The Rock is rumored to return the following week, however, nothing has been verified. In either Raw or the Royal Rumble, he might interrupt Reigns. In the Wrestlemania 39 main event, the People’s Champion is most likely to face off against his cousin for the Undisputed Universal Championship.
Prior to that, Reigns will defend the championships at Royal Rumble against Owens. Despite not being advertised for Elimination Chamber, The Tribal Chief might compete there against Sami. Reigns no longer works full-time and rarely appears on weekly programs and live events.

Hall of Famer Lita, according to Pwinsider.com, will be at the Raw is XXX celebration, which will include another former WWE great. Next week, the former WWE Women’s Champion is also expected to film material for WWE’s A&E programming.
In 2022, Lita had a brief comeback. She participated in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match and made many appearances on Raw and SmackDown until losing to Becky Lynch, the Raw Women’s Champion at the time, at WWE Elimination Chamber.
She will be appearing with icons like The Godfather, Triple H, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, Jerry Lawler, Road Dogg, X-Pac, Theodore Long, Ron Simmons, Rikishi Samu, DDP, and Mike “Irwin R. Schyster” Rotunda.
The Daily Item in Pennsylvania recently spoke with WWE Legend Headshrinker Samu in advance of the Raw XXX (30th anniversary) event taking place in Philadelphia on Monday.
Samu and Fatu (also known as Rikishi) will attend The Bloodline’s Acknowledgment Ceremony, according to the report. The elders will be in attendance to recognize The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns, WWE stated Friday night on Raw.
“I want to thank the WWE for everything they have done for myself and my family,” Anoa’i said. “I look forward to next week when I can see a lot of familiar faces and be reunited with a lot of my family members.”
Samu is the nephew of Wild Samoan Sika and the son of WWE Hall of Famer Afa The Wild Samoan. The attendance of Afa and Sika at Raw on Monday has been confirmed by PWInsider. Sika is, of course, the father of Roman Reigns, as most fans are aware.
Fans might ask if The Rock will also appear in light of this. Let’s see if that occurs. We only know that WWE wants Rock vs. Roman to take place at WrestleMania, so assuming The Rock’s schedule is clear, we may start to see the build for that bout this coming Monday night.
