Reigns came back as the Big Show prepared to hit John Cena with achokeslam, which would've gifted a win to Seth Rollins in a tables match. However, Reigns intervened, hitting Show with a Superman Punch and Spear. He then hit Rollins with a Superman Punch, which allowed Cena to quickly put Rollins through a table and win the match.
The 29-year-old former Shield member is viewed by many as the future of the company, but he suffered the first setback of his young career just prior to Night of Champions. Reigns was slated to face former partner Rollins; however, the match never happened, as Reigns was forced to undergo emergency hernia surgery, according to Zach Linder and Brian Pellegatto of WWE.com.
Following the procedure, WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann provided an update regarding Reigns' timetable for a return. "Most of the time, the recovery time for something like this in terms of returning to physical activity is between four and six weeks," Amannsaid. "This was a pretty significant hernia, so it will probably be closer to six weeks."
WWE attempted to keep Reigns' name fresh in the minds of fans during his absence. He was featured in a couple of interview segments via satellite on Raw, and The Juggernaut made his feelings and intentions clear during the lead-up to his comeback. About five weeks after undergoing surgery, Reigns offered a positive report regarding his progress, per WWE Universe on Twitter:
That wasn't Reigns' only message, though, as he also placed a massive target on Mr. Money in the Bank's back, according to WWE's official Twitter account:
Reigns is far from the only one who has an issue with Rollins, as Dean Ambrose, John Cena and even Randy Orton have expressed a great deal of disdain for The Authority's pet project. Reigns' vendetta against The Shield's architect is personal for several reasons, however.
For starters, Rollins willingly betrayed his brothers in order to side with Triple H and The Authority. Reigns never got proper revenge because the hernia prevented him from taking on Rollins at Night of Champions.
In addition to that, Rollins has been heralded as the future of WWEfrom a storyline perspective. With that said, most WWE fans are seemingly of the mind that Reigns is the one who is being groomed to become WWE World Heavyweight champion in the near future.
