Roman Reigns may not return to WWE at SummerSlam, but his cousin will, according to analyst
The WWE Universe has been clamoring for Roman Reigns' return since Solo Sikoa seized control of The Bloodline. Despite the rumors, wrestling analyst Sam Roberts doesn't think The Head of the Table will return in time for SummerSlam 2024. However, his cousin, Jimmy Uso, might show up.
Jimmy became the first target of Solo Sikoa as the latter kicked out his brother from The Bloodline. The Enforcer did the same to Paul Heyman months later and put him on the sidelines.
The Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline has become unstoppable after defeating Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens at Money in the Bank 2024. The self-proclaimed Tribal Chief pinned The American Nightmare and seemingly set the stage for an Undisputed WWE Championship match at SummerSlam in Cleveland.
On the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts said Jimmy Uso could finally return at The Biggest Party of the Summer. Meanwhile, the wrestling analyst felt Survivor Series could be the time when Roman Reigns shows up on our television screens again.
"Jimmy's still got to come back, you know. SummerSlam might be when Jimmy [Uso] comes back. It's possible, and then maybe [Roman Reigns] comes back like at Survivor Series or something like that," Roberts said. (52:42 - 52:52)

Who will Roman Reigns face at WrestleMania 41?
Roman Reigns has had some memorable matches at The Showcase of the Immortals over the years. The Head of the Table is expected to have a blockbuster bout at next year's WrestleMania in Las Vegas.
Sam Roberts thinks The Bloodline saga could run till April 2025, culminating in a first-time-ever match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa at The Show of Shows.
"Maybe Royal Rumble is where you get The Bloodline back together. Maybe Royal Rumble is Roman and The Usos vs. Jacob and the Tongans, right? Keeping Solo away. My quest would be to get all the way to WrestleMania [XLI] and have Solo vs. Roman be your WrestleMania match," he said on Notsam Wrestling.
As for Paul Heyman, there's no official word on how long he will be off television. Will The Wiseman return alongside his Tribal Chief next time? Only time will tell.
