Reigns has not had a televised match since SummerSlam in August, although he did return last weekend for a live event match against Sami Zayn in Kansas City, Missouri.
It is the third match set for the November 4 event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia joining Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship and a five-way match for the Women’s Championship involving Rhea Ripley, Shayna Baszler, Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, and Zoey Stark.
