The Big Dog is back with his eyes fixed on WWE Battleground's Triple Threat WWE Title Match.

NEWARK, Del. – WWE.com has learned that Roman Reigns made a surprise return to WWE Friday night during a Live Event. His actions no doubt serve as a powerful declaration that he plans to reclaim the WWE Title this Sunday at WWE Battleground in the highly-anticipated Triple Threat Match against his ex-Shield cohorts, WWE Champion Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.

The Big Dog’s reemergence happened just moments after Rollins’ showdown against Ambrose came to a close. The cunning Architect opted to attack The Lunatic Fringe after the bell. But as Rollins picked up the microphone to expound upon his plans to reclaim WWE’s most coveted prize this Sunday, Reigns’ music suddenly blared through the arena.

After clearing the ring of his stunned adversary with an earth-shattering Superman Punch/Spear combination, Reigns picked up the WWE Title. Then, when a rejuvenated Ambrose cautiously joined him in the ring, Reigns tossed the title to him and walked away without a word.

In no uncertain terms, Roman Reigns is back and he is on a mission to stand tall over the former Hounds of Justice in two days. But which of the former brothers-in-arms will walk away from the pay-per-view with the title in his grasp? Don’t miss WWE Battleground Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on the award-winning WWE Network. 

Fresh Start. Same Goal. #WWEBattleground #4Time #TopGuy
