Roman Reigns needs to be wary of Bloodline member after WWE SummerSlam return, analyst says; it's not Solo Sikoa
Roman Reigns finally made his WWE return at SummerSlam 2024 and immediately went after Solo Sikoa. However, wrestling analyst Sam Roberts feels another Bloodline member could prove to be the bigger threat for Reigns. That is none other than Jacob Fatu.
The main event of The Biggest Party of the Summer saw Cody Rhodes put his Undisputed WWE Championship on the line against Solo Sikoa in a Bloodline Rules match. The contest was action-packed from start to finish and involved lots of shenanigans.
Toward the end, Roman Reigns made his WWE comeback to a thunderous ovation and dropped Sikoa with a Superman Punch. He then hit a Spear as well and watched on as Rhodes finished off the new Bloodline leader with a Cross Rhodes.
Speaking on the Notsam Wrestling Podcast, Roberts said the success of Reigns' new storyline depends on how strongly the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline is presented in the coming weeks. The analyst specifically mentioned Jacob Fatu as the member who could create big problems for the former Universal Champion.
"For the Roman [Reigns] thing to work, it has to feel like he might not be able to beat this new Bloodline. And the only thing that makes it possible for Roman to have that doubt is Jacob [Fatu]," said Sam Roberts. [28:13 - 28:26]
Veteran believes Roman Reigns will be betrayed in WWE
While Roman Reigns made his return at SummerSlam, his 'Wiseman' Paul Heyman, who was attacked by Solo Sikoa and his new Bloodline on SmackDown a few weeks ago, was not by his side.
Matt Morgan, on the Gigantic Pop podcast, claimed that Heyman could shockingly betray Reigns and side with Sikoa when he appears on WWE TV again. The veteran also added that Paul Heyman is not a good fit as a babyface manager.
"I still think this is way in the distance, hopefully. I do think [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!" said Matt Morgan. [From 43:58 to 44:27]
It will be interesting to see what twists and turns are in store in the Bloodline storyline following the events of SummerSlam 2024.
