Legend discusses potential Roman Reigns WWE return being delayed due to legendary Bloodline member Sika's passing (Exclusive)

Former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns has not been seen in action ever since losing the title at WWE WrestleMania XL. Considering that his father, Sika Anoa'i, recently passed away, a veteran believes his return may be delayed further.

The Tribal Chief was considered to be the biggest name in the Stamford-based company until his defeat at the hands of Cody Rhodes. While there is no news of his possible return, Sika's demise is likely to have affected the plans. According to Bill Apter, it entirely depends on Roman's mental condition.

The legendary journalist recently talked about Sika's passing on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted. In the same show, he talked about Roman's potential WWE return.

"If it was going to be this week or the following week, possibly. Other than that I don't think it will. [...] It's hard to really put your finger on it because we don't know what his psychological state will be, whether he is ready to come back to wrestling. He and his dad were super super close."
