Roman Reigns 2024 schedule released; set to work major WWE dates
There has been a major update regarding Roman Reigns' WWE schedule for the rest of 2024. The Original Tribal Chief is set to team up with Cody Rhodes at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 5.
Roman Reigns' upcoming TV schedule was released today. The OTC is set to appear on three episodes of SmackDown in October and three more in November.
Roman Reigns went on hiatus for several months following his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. He returned to television at SummerSlam to help The American Nightmare defeat Solo Sikoa in a Bloodline Rules Match. Reigns and Rhodes will join forces to battle Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at WWE Bad Blood.
The former rivals met this past Friday night at Georgia Tech. They agreed to put their differences aside in their battle against the heel faction. However, Reigns warned Cody that he would come after the Undisputed WWE Championship once he was done with The Bloodline.

Wrestling legend Dutch Mantell recently shared his thoughts on the meeting between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes on last week's edition of SmackDown.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk show, Mantell claimed that Rhodes and Reigns were "tweeners," meaning he wouldn't classify them as babyfaces or heels. The veteran added that the company could turn either star heel in the future but conceded that it's not possible at the moment.
"What we saw here was almost two tweeners together. I don't think you can move either one of them heel. If they wanted to, as a last resort they could. But I don't think they're even thinking about that," he said. [From 29:35 to 29:49]

Rhodes has been feuding with Solo's Bloodline for the past several months. He got the better of the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief in a Steel Cage Match on the September 13 edition of SmackDown.
It will be fascinating to see if the Undisputed WWE Champion and Reigns manage to work as a team at Bad Blood.
