The "overdose" of Roman Reigns is a significant WWE problem, explains real-life Bloodline member; claims massive Tribal Chief change is good
The WWE creative making a huge change to Roman Reigns' booking compared to his previous run is a good decision, believes real-life Bloodline member and The Rock's cousin, Afa Anoa'i Jr. The Original Tribal Chief is one of the biggest babyfaces on the current roster.
Roman Reigns went on a hiatus after he lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. He finally returned to television at SummerSlam 2024 as a babyface and started a feud with Solo Sikoa's Bloodline. The Original Tribal Chief then teamed up with his arch nemesis, The American Nightmare, to defeat Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at the Bad Blood 2024 Premium Live Event.
Ahead of Bad Blood, WWE revealed Roman Reigns' schedule for October and November 2024, which showcased that he would work major SmackDown shows leading up to Crown Jewel and possibly Survivor Series.
During the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Enter The Bloodline, Afa Anoa'i Jr. was asked if fans would get an overdose of Roman Reigns with his upcoming schedule. Afa said that he believed fans already got to see Reigns too much during the whole Bloodline storyline, before mentioning that The Original Tribal Chief making fewer appearances would be better for his character.
"No, I think that we got [an] overdose of Roman Reigns which got us to this point. Now we don't need it. Now we just need one or two appearances from him. You don't want to throw him down everybody's throat. It takes his appeal away. I think that they're doing Roman right. You can just tell by his reactions and everything like that," he said.
The former WWE star added that he was happy to see his cousin back on the road and wanted to see how it would all lead up to Crown Jewel and Survivor Series.
"So, yeah I'm happy that he's back on the road. As a performer, we need to be on the road. It kind of keeps us sane. So, yeah, he's going to have a great time. I'm curious to see the run that they are about to go on leading up to Survivor Series and Crown Jewel and stuff like that," he added. [From 13:32 to 14:08]
