"Roman Reigns is a movie star" - Ex-WWE writer highlights the biggest problem with epic Bloodline feud teased for the future (Exclusive)
Roman Reigns has not appeared on WWE television since WrestleMania, and in his absence, Solo Sikoa has grown comfortable as the new Tribal Chief. The creative team has teased a massive feud between the two superstars upon Reigns' return, but Vince Russo believes there would be one problem.
Sikoa recently labeled himself the Head of the Table and said that Reigns won't be returning to an agitated Paul Heyman. He has actively recruited new members to his faction, the most recent being Jacob Fatu, as The Bloodline continues to run riot on the blue brand.
All signs hint at a future feud between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa likely resulting in a massive Bloodline Civil War. Vince Russo discussed their potential rivalry on the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW.
The former WWE writer hailed Solo Sikoa for his recent work and credited him for stepping up in his new role. However, he argued that Roman Reigns is a movie star and a superhero personified, commanding a different aura. Vince Russo believes that Reigns' dominant appearance influences perception and he is the star who would be a giant when standing across from Sikoa who is still growing into his character.
"Listen, I like what Solo is doing. I think this dude has really really stepped up, I do, no question about it but Chris, Roman Reigns is a movie star. When you look at Roman Reigns you don't get that same vibe that you are looking at Solo Sikoa. Like I said, he is doing a great job I am not knocking him I am just talking about first glance appearance. Reigns is a superhero, I mean there's no question about it. Big difference bro, big difference," said Russo. [39:30 - 39:58]

Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes to lock horns in a huge match at WWE Money in the Bank
Solo Sikoa is currently involved in a brutal feud with Cody Rhodes on WWE SmackDown. The American Nightmare found allies in Kevin Owens and Randy Orton who have their own issues with The Bloodline. The babyface trio almost got the better of The Enforcer on the latest episode of the show, but the latter introduced Jacob Fatu who took out everyone before acknowledging his Tribal Chief.
WWE has confirmed that Cody Rhodes will join forces with The Viper and the Prizefighter to take on Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and either Tonga Loa or Jacob Fatu in a six-man tag team match at Money in the Bank.
Although the booking seems balanced on paper, it remains to be seen how The Bloodline will benefit from the numbers advantage.
