Real-life Bloodline member reacts to Roman Reigns' return ahead of WWE RAW
A real-life member of The Bloodline reacted to Roman Reigns' return to WWE ahead of tonight's episode of RAW. The Head of the Table made his long-awaited return in the final minutes of WWE Summerslam this past Saturday night in Cleveland, Ohio.
Roman Reigns disappeared from television after Cody Rhodes dethroned him as Undisputed WWE Champion at WrestleMania XL. He made his triumphant return at SummerSlam and attacked Solo Sikoa. The American Nightmare capitalized on the attack and planted Sikoa with a Cross Rhodes to retain the title.
Rikishi took to his Instagram story to share a fan's painting of Reigns and noted that the Tribal Chief is back. You can check out Rikishi's post by clicking here.
Rikishi is the father of The Usos and Solo Sikoa in real life. He was recently asked if he would consider returning to WWE to help The Bloodline but chose not to answer.
WWE Hall of Famer names Roman Reigns as someone he'd like to face
Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan recently named Roman Reigns as someone he would have liked to battle in the ring.
Roman Reigns was known as a heel during his time as Undisputed WWE Champion, but he got a massive babyface pop during his return at SummerSlam. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter, The Hulkster said he would jump in the ring with Reigns if he could. The legend added that his Hollywood Hogan character could help get the SmackDown star over as a babyface.
"Oh my gosh, there's a bunch of them. But if I really could jump in the ring with somebody today, if Roman Reigns was a babyface, I think Hollywood Hogan [Hogan's WCW heel character] could get him over." [5:11 – 5:26]

Solo Sikoa named himself the new Tribal Chief during Roman Reigns' hiatus and made several changes to the faction. He kicked Jimmy Uso out in favor of Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu.
Sikoa also ordered a brutal attack on Paul Heyman on the June 28 edition of SmackDown after The Wiseman refused to acknowledge him as his Tribal Chief. Only time will tell how the new version of The Bloodline reacts to Reigns' return this Friday on SmackDown.
