Roman Reigns returning with a new character and aligning with top heel could happen, says former WWE writer
There has been a lot of speculation regarding the potential return of Roman Reigns following months of absence. The original Tribal Chief has been absent since his defeat to Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on Night Two of WrestleMania XL.
Since then, Solo Sikoa has taken over The Bloodline, and The Street Champ is now set to face The American Nightmare at SummerSlam. The general belief is that Reigns will return at The Biggest Party of The Summer and go after Sikoa. However, former WWE writer Kazeem Famuyide believes that the former Universal Champion might just 'fall in line' and acknowledge Solo Sikoa as The Tribal Chief.
During the latest episode of The Masked Man Show, Kaz detailed a possible scenario that could see a battered and defeated version of The Big Dog align with his former Enforcer after returning to WWE TV. Kaz also pointed to the visuals from WrestleMania XL where Reigns was seen crying in Paul Heyman's arms following a defeat in the Bloodline Rules match to solidify his point.
''Everybody expects him [Roman Reigns] to take out Solo Sikoa and all that type of stuff. And he goes, 'Solo, you were right!' He's like a shell of Roman Reigns. Think about it: the last time we saw Reigns, he was crying in Paul Heyman's arms as he was walking off the stage,'' he said. (34:12-34:56)
Solo Sikoa recently sent a warning to Roman Reigns
The former Tribal Heir has set his sights on bringing the Undisputed WWE Championship back to The Bloodline. Ahead of his showdown with The American Nightmare at SummerSlam, Sikoa sent a warning to his former Tribal Chief this past Friday.
The Bloodline 2.0's leader told The Big Dog that if the latter had an issue with him taking the Undisputed WWE Title at SummerSlam, then the former Shield member knew where to find him. He also claimed that Roman could suffer the same fate as the faction's recent victims, Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes.
It will be interesting to see if Roman Reigns responds to Solo Sikoa's comments by making a blockbuster return at SummerSlam 2024.
