Roman Reigns makes heartwarming gesture ahead of WWE Bash in Berlin
Former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns made a heartwarming gesture ahead of the upcoming Bash in Berlin Premium Live Event. The OTC was absent from last week's edition of Friday Night SmackDown.
The 39-year-old returned to WWE television at SummerSlam to attack Solo Sikoa and consequently help Cody Rhodes retain his title. He attacked the new Bloodline the following Friday to assert dominance. However, on the August 16 edition of the blue brand's show, Jacob Fatu returned after his absence the previous week to help his faction take down the former Head of the Table.
After getting beaten up by the faction led by his former stablemate Solo Sikoa, Roman Reigns missed SmackDown the following week. Amid his absence from the squared circle, the former Shield member visited Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. The Instagram account of the hospital posted an update from Reigns' pizza party for the patients and their families.
"@wwe Tribal Chief @romanreigns and Two-Time World Series Champion and @mlb All-Star, Jeff Conine stopped by to host a pizza party for our patients and families. We are grateful for our hometown champions for taking time out of their day to add a little sunshine and put smiles on the faces of the kids at Joe D. #MimisRavioli #JDCHFoundation #FeelGoodFriday," read the post.

Wrestling veteran believes original Bloodline member could betray Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns is currently fighting a lone battle against The Bloodline led by Solo Sikoa as the heel faction has taken out his allies, Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman. Although the two are expected to make a return sometime soon, veteran wrestler Matt Morgan shared an interesting take on the current situation.
While speaking on the Gigantic Pop podcast, Morgan predicted that Paul Heyman would return to betray Reigns to join forces with The Bloodline's former Enforcer. The former WWE star, however, noted that it would take some time, considering the vicious attack Heyman suffered at the hands of the Solo Sikoa-led faction.
"I still think this is way in the distance, hopefully. I do think [Paul Heyman] comes back and I do think he sides with Solo in them. Listen to me, I know they just pulverized him recently. I get that. That's why it's gonna take some time to get there. But, he can't be a babyface manager. Doesn't work. Think about it, what a big betrayal to Roman!" Matt Morgan said.

Paul Heyman has been absent from WWE programming for two months. It remains to be seen when he will make his much-awaited return. It will be interesting to see if he continues his alliance with Roman Reigns or joins forces with Solo Sikoa.
