The next "WWE Raw" appearance for current World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns was revealed by WWE on social media on Tuesday. The WWE X (formerly Twitter) account posted that "The Tribal Chief" will appear in San Diego on October 19.

Reigns is set to defend his title against LA Knight at Money in the Bank in New Orleans on Saturday. The October 12 edition of the red brand will be live from the Brookshire Grocery Arena in Bossier City, Louisiana. Reigns' apparent absence on the episode following the premium live event had fans in the replies to WWE's post talking, as well as the fact that WWE advertised Reigns as the "World Heavyweight Champion" for the October 19, alongside a graphic of him with the gold.

"So they really just spoiled the main event of MITB?!" the top reply said.

"No this does not guarantee a Roman Reigns win," another read. "In the current scheme of things Roman is the current World Heavyweight Champion. You have to advertise him as such for a future RAW. Card is always subject to change at any given point."

The "OTC" most recently appeared on the go-home episode of "Raw" ahead of Money in the Bank. He confronted Knight during the opening of the show, where the pair traded words. Reigns also helped his cousins, the Usos, figure out what to do against the 946, and brought in Solo Sikoa, previously ousted from the Bloodline prior to 946's various attacks. Reigns revealed that Sikoa will be teaming with his brothers against the faction next Monday.
