In what is expected to be another thrilling edition of WWE's SummerSlam, speculations are swirling about potential surprise returns that could take the event by storm. As SummerSlam 2024 is set to welcome nearly 55,000 passionate fans at Cleveland Browns Stadium, the atmosphere is ripe for unexpected comebacks that could break viewership records once again.

One of the top speculations revolves around the return of former five-time WWE women's champion, Alexa Bliss. Having been absent from the ring for almost a year after giving birth last November, Bliss has dropped hints about her potential return. WWE programming Easter eggs have fueled a fan theory suggesting that Bliss might join the Wyatt Sicks faction as their sixth and final member, completing the group. Given SummerSlam's history of surprise returns in the women's division, Bliss could be the next major female star to make a triumphant comeback.

Another anticipated return could be that of Paul Heyman, who hasn't been seen since being brutally attacked by Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline on SmackDown. With about five weeks having passed since the incident, SummerSlam presents an opportune time for Heyman's comeback. The event will feature Sikoa challenging Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship, and it would be poetic justice if Heyman's return costs Sikoa the title, setting up potential future storylines.

Fans are also eagerly awaiting the return of Charlotte Flair, who suffered a knee injury in late 2023. Despite a recovery timeline of nine months, Flair has indicated on social media that she is ahead of schedule in her rehabilitation. With Raw and SmackDown in need of another marquee singles star in the women's division, Flair's return at SummerSlam could shake up the landscape and ignite exciting feuds.

In the ongoing Bloodline saga, there are strong speculations about Jimmy Uso making his long-awaited comeback. After being ejected from the faction by Sikoa, it is believed that Jimmy will reunite with his brother Jey to take on the new version of The Bloodline. A fitting climax to the Sikoa vs. Rhodes match at SummerSlam could be Jimmy's revenge on his younger brother, adding further layers to the compelling storyline.

However, the most anticipated return of all is that of Roman Reigns, the record-setting former WWE Champion. Since his loss at WrestleMania 40 in April, WWE crowds have been passionately chanting for Reigns' return. Reports suggest that Reigns is likely to make his comeback either by or at SummerSlam. The potential closing scene of the event could see Reigns standing tall over Sikoa, his cousin and the man who took command of The Bloodline during his absence.

While the specifics may change, a Reigns return at SummerSlam seems inevitable and promises to be one of the most monumental moments in pro wrestling history. Whether Reigns arrives alone, with Heyman, with Jimmy, or with a combination of the two, the anticipation surrounding his comeback is palpable.

With these potential surprise returns and high-stakes battles, SummerSlam 2024 is gearing up to be a must-see event. As WWE continues to captivate fans with its storytelling and jaw-dropping moments, the stage is set for yet another unforgettable showcase of athleticism and drama.
