4 surprises Roman Reigns may have for Solo Sikoa and the New Bloodline on WWE SmackDown
WWE fans were treated to an incredible night on Saturday when the Sports Entertainment juggernaut hosted SummerSlam 2024. While everything on the show delivered, it was an incident that took place in the main event that truly led the crowd to explode.
When Solo Sikoa seemingly had the upper hand over Cody Rhodes thanks to interference from Jacob Fatu, Roman Reigns' music hit. The Tribal Chief made his return to the company for the first time since WrestleMania and he proceeded to lay out Solo Sikoa.
This big return was months in the making, especially ever since Solo started talking trash about Reigns on a regular basis. Fans were begging for The Head of the Table to make a comeback and shut Sikoa up and he did exactly that.
Things aren't likely over between the two, however. In fact, Roman may have a surprise or two up his sleeve for the alleged new Tribal Chief. This article will look at a handful of ways Reigns may surprise Sikoa and his new version of The Bloodline on SmackDown this Friday.
Below are four surprises Roman Reigns may have for Solo Sikoa and the New Bloodline on WWE SmackDown.
#4. Paul Heyman could return to tell Solo Sikoa off
Paul Heyman is a legend in pro wrestling. He has been a manager, promoter, booker, photographer, and at times, even a participant in the ring. His glorious decades-long career earned Heyman a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame. He was inducted earlier this year.
Unfortunately, not everything has been good for the wrestling manager. The new version of The Bloodline led by Solo Sikoa destroyed Heyman on an episode of SmackDown, which even saw the group put Roman Reigns' Wiseman through the announce table in a stunning turn of events.
Heyman could finally return to WWE television now that Roman Reigns is back. If Roman brings Paul out as a surprise, Heyman could verbally attack Solo like only The Wiseman can, now with the knowledge that The Tribal Chief is there to keep him safe.
#3. Jimmy Uso may finally return to WWE SmackDown
Jimmy Uso is a future WWE Hall of Famer. While he is yet to ever truly break out as a singles star, Jimmy, alongside his brother Jey, made up one of the greatest teams in pro wrestling history. In fact, they even held the tag team titles for longer than any tandem in the company's existence.
Paul Heyman isn't the only Bloodline member to feel the wrath of Solo Sikoa. The SmackDown after WrestleMania saw the WWE debut of Tama Tonga. He and Solo brutally attacked Jimmy Uso and the former tag team champion hasn't been seen on television since.
Jimmy has been loyal to Roman Reigns, even if it caused issues between himself and Jey. That likely won't change and as a result, Uso could return on SmackDown as a surprise. He will surely want revenge on his younger brother and Tama Tonga and The Tribal Chief may set that up on Friday.
#2. Jacob Fatu could shockingly switch sides
Jacob Fatu is one of WWE's greatest signings in years. The talented performer is a powerhouse, but he can also move like a cruiserweight. His moonsaults and dives are something to behold.
Fans were shocked when Fatu made his WWE debut as part of the new Bloodline. He has been a menace, helping to take out numerous big names. Not only that, but he and Tama Tonga won tag team gold by defeating DIY just last week.
While Jacob has routinely pledged his loyalty and love for Solo, Roman could have quite the swerve up his sleeve. In what would be a shocking moment, Fatu could switch sides and reveal that he has been working with Roman this entire time and purposely got close to Sikoa to help take him down. Solo would be shocked.
#1. Hikuleo could debut on Roman Reigns' side
Hikuleo is an interesting figure. He is a big man known for his time in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Despite that, he is perhaps best known as the younger brother of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
Reports have indicated that Hikuleo has signed with WWE. While the Sports Entertainment juggernaut itself is yet to confirm this news, many have been awaiting the big man's debut.
The expectation has been that Hikuleo would join Tama and Tonga in the new Bloodline. In what would be an amazing swerve, The Tribal Chief could debut Hikuleo as part of his own crew instead. This would shock Tama, Tonga, Solo, and Jacob, while also adding a lot of firepower to Reigns' side of things. It would also make things even more personal.
