4 WWE Superstars Roman Reigns can trust and 2 he can not
Roman Reigns has an uphill battle at the upcoming WWE Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event. The Tribal Chief has to gather a team he can trust to combat Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline in the WarGames match.
The people who Reigns has aligned with for the bout or has been trying to recruit haven’t always been fans of his. Every OG Bloodline member has had issues with the OTC in the past. There is a possibility that either of these superstars can turn on him on any given day to get back their revenge.
At the same time, there are also the ones who Reigns can trust, because they share a common goal; taking down Solo Sikoa. This article will discuss 3 superstars The Tribal Chief can trust in WWE, and two he can't.
#1 & #2. The Usos
Roman Reigns can easily trust his cousins, The Usos. Jimmy Uso initially had reservations about his Tribal Chief. He would later even turn against his own brother, Jey Uso last year at SummerSlam when Jey took on Reigns in a one-on-one match.
However, Jimmy Uso has buried the hatchet with Jey and Reigns, and he has been actively making efforts to make the OG Bloodline stronger. His inclusion in the Bloodline storyline has given a huge boost to the red brand also. The Big Dog can have faith in him.
#3. The Rock
The Rock may not have revealed his cards over which faction he supports in this Bloodline war, but The Final Boss, shall not backstab The Big Dog. The Rock last showed up at WWE Bad Blood PLE, during the closing moments of the show.
He gave a scary stare to Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Jimmy Uso, who were standing inside the middle of the ring. There have also been speculations about The Rock being the real mastermind behind Bloodline 2.0, but nothing is confirmed yet.
However, The Rock might not go against Roman Reigns, since the High Chief has already acknowledged Reigns as the Tribal Chief. The two also set aside their differences ahead of WrestleMania 40 and took on Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes for the tag-team match. The Brahma Bull can be trusted by the OTC.
#4. Cody Rhodes
The WWE Undisputed Universal Champion is currently the biggest babyface in the history of the company. There is no chance of Rhodes turning his back on anyone, set aside Roman Reigns in the industry.
Cody Rhodes came on board to help out Roman Reigns against Bloodline 2.0 at Bad Blood when he could have opted to stay out. Rhodes also hasn’t taken shots against the former WWE Champion ever since he beat the Tribal Chief for the WWE Championship.
2 superstars Roman Reigns can’t trust
#1. Sami Zayn
The former Intercontinental Champion has a murky past with Roman Reigns. Reigns has always been indifferent towards Zayn, even before he was part of the Bloodline faction last year. The two later feuded with Reigns winning the fall.
Despite the odds stacked against him this year also, Reigns was not willing to take Sami Zayn in his team. It was Jey Uso’s intervention and Zayn’s commitment that led to him being let in by The Big Dog.
The Honorary Uce can any day turn his back on Roman Reigns, and exact revenge on him for the loss he incurred against The Big Dog at Elimination Chamber last year. Zayn also accidentally hit Reigns with a Helluva Kick at Crown Jewel PLE, a few days back.
He later said that it was unintentional, but his reasoning was even questioned by Jey Uso, someone who brought him into the group. So, the 40-year-old could shock everyone one day and turn his back on Roman Reigns.
#2. Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is the supposed fifth member of the OG Bloodline team whom Reigns can’t trust. The Visionary has so far stayed away from the Bloodline storyline since WrestleMania, and even rejected Sami Zayn’s offer to join because of Reigns.
He reminded Zayn of times when Reigns opposed The Honorary Uce, and what he did to him. On this week’s episode of RAW, Sami Zayn and The Usos tried again to convince Seth Rollins to join their OG Bloodline, but The Visionary didn’t budge, with Reigns being the only reason. However, Rollins might take up this task as Solo Sikoa has given him a reason to get into this.
Solo has roped in Rollins’ rival, Bronson Reed as the fifth member of his team for the Survivor Series: WarGames match. He interfered in Rollins’ match against Reed on RAW this week, causing The Visionary to lose. In the next episode of RAW, Seth Rollins can certainly announce his inclusion as the fifth member of OG Bloodline.
However, that doesn’t guarantee his loyalty to Roman Reigns anytime. Rollins shall no longer take the OTC’s sermons even as a team member, and if things get ugly, he won’t think twice before turning on Reigns.
