Roman Reigns won't make amends with WWE star for the sake of the OG Bloodline reunion, says analyst
Roman Reigns is back as a babyface but has yet to make amends with former Bloodline members. WWE analyst, Sam Roberts, recently addressed whether The Original Tribal Chief will reunite with Jey Uso.
The YEET Master has reached the pinnacle of his career since parting ways with The Bloodline. Last week on RAW, he finally found his success as a singles competitor when he dethroned Bron Breakker to win the Intercontinental Championship for the first time in WWE.
Meanwhile, Reigns is visibly short of friends since returning to SmackDown. Though Cody Rhodes has joined forces with him to deal with the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline, it is unlikely that the two men will be on the same page for much longer. A feud between the two men has been teased by WWE and it's only a matter of time before the company pulls the trigger on their trilogy.
Speaking on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts believes The Head of the Table won't head to RAW to apologize to 'Main Event' Jey since he still thinks he is head and shoulders above everybody:
"If we do get to a point where Roman Reigns wants to bring the troops together, Roman Reigns gonna have his tail between his legs. If [Roman] Reigns isn't going to have his tail between his legs, everybody wants to paint this picture of [Roman] Reigns like, 'Well, he's a babyface now, so maybe he'll apologize.' Are you watching the program or the product? That's rule number one - watch the product. Are you watching the product? Roman Reigns is the same cat. [Roman] Reigns is the same guy. It's his field, it's his ring, it's his stadium. He's not walking in and apologizing to Jey Uso, at least not right now," Roberts said.
Roberts, however, feels Reigns needs Jey because once Rhodes moves on from The Bloodline storyline, he wouldn't have a lot of people to count on:
"Jey Uso doesn't need The Bloodline though, and if push comes to shove and Cody Rhodes ends up getting distracted by Kevin Owens and Randy Orton over here, then [Roman] Reigns is looking at The Bloodline by himself. He's gonna get to a point where he needs Jey Uso more than Jey Uso needs him," he added. (44:00 - 45:04)
