Roman Reigns could return immediately after Cody Rhodes loses his WWE Title at SummerSlam, says analyst
With the 37th edition of SummerSlam fast approaching, many fans have been wondering when Roman Reigns will make his return. WWE analyst Sam Roberts recently discussed a potential angle for The Head of the Table at The Biggest Party of The Summer this year.
Solo Sikoa appears to have set his sights on the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes. The Enforcer pinned The American Nightmare during a six-man tag team match at Money in the Bank.
This marked Solo's first victory over Rhodes, thanks to Jacob Fatu. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say that the two men will run it back for the title at SummerSlam in Cleveland. Speaking on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts discussed whether Roman Reigns will return on August 3.
"It does appear that Solo [Sikoa] vs. Cody [Rhodes] is going to be your match at SummerSlam, and the thing about that match is there's going to be a lot of people thinking Roman Reigns is coming back for it, and maybe he is, but I don't know for sure. That's one of those that like you can't put it on last unless Roman Reigns is coming back. Because otherwise, people are going to be very disappointed," Roberts said.
The wrestling analyst said Roman Reigns could show up right after Cody Rhodes loses his title to Solo Sikoa. Roberts feels a title change could shake things up on SmackDown, and Rhodes can always win it back down the road.
"Can you imagine if The Bloodline gets the world title? Like, maybe Jacob Fatu helps. Maybe something happens, but like we think we're going to get Roman [Reigns] at the end of SummerSlam, but the reason it goes on last is because Solo Sikoa wins the WWE Championship and The Bloodline stands strong. I mean, it's possible. Cody can always win it back, right? Just to mix things up," he added. (31:45-32:40)

Solo Sikoa claims Roman Reigns will never return to WWE
Solo Sikoa has asserted his dominance over The Bloodline since Roman Reigns took a leave of absence after WrestleMania XL.
The Enforcer kicked out Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman while recruiting Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu in the process. Sikoa has even claimed that Reigns won't be coming back to WWE anytime soon.
The seeds for an inevitable feud between the two cousins have been planted. It's only a matter of time before the former Universal Champion returns, possibly with Paul Heyman and Jimmy Uso on his side, to feud with The Bloodline he once created.
Will Jey Uso insert himself back into the saga after quitting the group last year? Only time will tell.
