6'8'' titan, Umaga's son, 10-time champion? - 7 WWE stars who can join Roman Reigns' Bloodline following his return
Roman Reigns finally returned to television at WWE SummerSlam last night during Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa's Bloodline Rules Match to send thrill waves through the pro wrestling world. Fans now wonder who will align with him in his current run.
Cody Rhodes courageously fought Solo Sikoa in a Bloodline Rules Match in the main event of WWE SummerSlam 2024. The bout predictably saw several interferences. After Randy Orton and Kevin Owens took out Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, and with Jacob Fatu injuring himself, Roman Reigns made his gigantic return and hit Sikoa with a devastating spear. He looked The American Nightmare in the eye, who hit a Cross Rhodes to win the match and retain his title.
The Original Tribal Chief's return clarified he will go against Solo Sikoa and his iteration of The Bloodline. For fans wondering who could support the former Universal Champion, we've got a few names right here.
#7 and #6. Paul Heyman and Jimmy Uso
If anyone hates Solo Sikoa as much as Roman Reigns does right now, it is definitely Paul Heyman and Jimmy Uso, the erstwhile members of The Bloodline.
Jimmy suffered a vicious assault at the hands of Tama Tonga and Solo on WWE SmackDown after WrestleMania XL. Heyman suffered a similar fate at the hands of The Bloodline recently. Considering both stars were loyal to the Original Tribal Chief, they will return to support him in his battle against his own family.
Fans won't be surprised if Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman return as babyfaces as early as the next episode of WWE SmackDown.
#5. Jey Uso
Fans don't need to be reminded of Jey Uso's impressive character as a Bloodline member over the last few years. He defeated Jimmy Uso at WWE WrestleMania 40 and supported Cody Rhodes to finish the story.
He is currently on RAW, so some strings may have to be pulled to bring him back to the blue brand, Considering The Wiseman, Paul Heyman is capable of pulling such strings, the 10-time Tag Team Champion could return to support Roman Reigns in a civil war against Solo Sikoa and co. Fans could finally witness the reunion of the original Bloodline after a very long time.
#4 and #3. Hikuleo and Zilla Fatu could join Roman Reigns
Some fans may not be familiar with these names, but Hikuleo and Zilla Fatu are real-life members of The Bloodline, who have had successful pro wrestling careers in the independent circuit.
The 6'8'' titan, Hikuleo is Haku's adopted son, making him a sibling to Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. While he has reportedly signed with WWE, fans haven't seen him appear on television yet. On the other hand, Zilla Fatu is Umaga's son, who dropped subliminal teases about himself potentially joining his family on WWE SmackDown.
The inclination of these two stars is unknown, but there is a chance they might support Roman Reigns rather than Solo Sikoa.
#2. Sami Zayn could reunite with The Bloodline
The long-term fans of The Bloodline know how instrumental Sami Zayn has been in making the faction as popular as it is today. While he isn't a real-life member of the family, he is the one and only Honorary Uce who could join The Head of the Table soon.
As he is on RAW, some strings may have to be pulled, or a trade may be done to bring him to WWE SmackDown. He lost the Intercontinental Championship to Bron Breakker at SummerSlam, so he may join his former stablemates on the blue brand. Needless to say, he will bring out the best out of all the members of the faction.
#1. Kevin Owens
Kevin Owens is a star who has been a rival to The Bloodline since its inception. While he has been against the group for years, he may support them if his friends Jey Uso and Sami Zayn decide to side with a babyface Roman Reigns.
While Randy Orton could soon turn heel to feud with Cody Rhodes, fans have no hint about Kevin Owens' plans after SummerSlam. He may try to inflict more damage on Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu, making him a suitable ally to Roman Reigns.
The Prizefighter has been a long-term supporter of Sami Zayn, so if the Master Strategist makes the move to SmackDown, Owens will likely join his former tag team partner to potentially dethrone Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu as the WWE Tag Team Champions.
