The wrestling community is buzzing with excitement and speculation about Roman Reigns’ potential return to WWE and its impact on a major SmackDown star, Solo Sikoa. Reigns, absent since his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL, has left a void in The Bloodline, now led by Sikoa.
Solo Sikoa, asserting dominance in Reigns’ absence, has revamped The Bloodline by recruiting Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. Their aggressive takeover saw them ousting Paul Heyman from the faction after he refused to acknowledge Sikoa as The Tribal Chief. In a recent SmackDown segment, Sikoa chastised Reigns for his WrestleMania loss and declared himself the new Tribal Chief, vowing to reclaim the Undisputed WWE Universal Title from Cody Rhodes. Sikoa challenged Reigns, stating that if Reigns wants the title back, they must face off.
This explosive declaration sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe. Fans took to social media, especially X, to share their predictions for a SummerSlam 2024 showdown between Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes. Many believe Reigns will make a dramatic return to thwart Sikoa’s championship aspirations, potentially turning face in the process. Reactions include:
“Roman costing Solo the title,” tweeted one fan. “Roman will turn up last minute and stop Solo getting the win like the USO brothers,” commented another. “I say just as Solo gets a W, Roman comes out and costs Solo the match,” predicted one fan. “To cost Solo,” tweeted another fan. “Roman will cost Solo Sikoa the WWE championship,” said another fan.
Adding fuel to the fire, wrestling analyst Sam Roberts, on the Notsam Wrestling Podcast, proposed a tantalizing storyline for WrestleMania 41. Roberts suggested that The Bloodline could reunite at the Royal Rumble, pitting Roman Reigns and The Usos against Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa. This buildup would culminate in a WrestleMania clash between Reigns and Sikoa, a battle of The Tribal Chiefs on the grandest stage.
“Maybe Royal Rumble is where you get The Bloodline back together. Maybe Royal Rumble is Roman and The Usos vs. Jacob and the Tongans, right? Keeping Solo away. My quest would be to get all the way to WrestleMania and have Solo vs. Roman be your WrestleMania match,” Roberts suggested.
As anticipation builds, the WWE Universe eagerly awaits the return of The Head of the Table, Roman Reigns. His return promises to shake up the dynamics within The Bloodline and the broader WWE landscape. Will Reigns reclaim his throne, or will Solo Sikoa cement his legacy as the new Tribal Chief? Only time will tell, but the road to WrestleMania is sure to be filled with twists, turns, and unforgettable moments.
