WWE Chronicles are some of the best programming available on the Network, and the Chronicle focused on Roman Reigns this Monday figures to be another home-run.
Last week on Monday Night Raw, Roman Reigns announced his return to WWE, informing the fans that his leukemia is in remission. Reigns then served up a trio of superman punches and a spear, emphatically stating his return to in-ring action.
According to WWENetworkNews.com, a “WWE Chronicle” episode focused on Reigns’s return will be released on Monday night following Raw at 11 p.m. ET.
We’ve seen several excellent Chronicle episodes, but the last three have been the best of the bunch. Dean Ambrose’s documentary following his recovery from a scary triceps injury, his return to Raw, and his betrayal of The Shield was an excellent mix of kayfabe and reality; the episode on Becky Lynch was a wonderful, sobering look at the aftermath of her concussion on the go-home Raw before Survivor Series; and Paige’s Chronicle was an eye-opening experience that gave a great look at the woman behind the character we’ve seen on television as a wrestler and GM.
Reigns’s “WWE Chronicle”, however, could be the best one yet, even considering how high the bar has been set. He’s one of WWE’s biggest stars over the past decade, because he truly is “The Guy” as a wrestler and a person. His matches speak for themselves, as do his character. The Big Dog has been a tremendous representative of WWE, and fans can prepare to see an episode that gives us access to Reigns, as a person, like we’ve never seen before.
This is must-watch television on the WWE Network after Raw, as every Chronicle has been worth the watch, including the first two on wrestling legends Shinsuke Nakamura and Samoa Joe.
I’m excited for this episode and how it sets up Roman Reigns this WrestleMania season as he gets back into WWE storylines. It will also be interesting to see how they cover the time in between his initial announcement on October and his heart-warming return in February, and I am definitely prepared to shed plenty of tears through this Chronicle on Reigns.
