WWE Hall of Famer weighs in on how Solo Sikoa's Bloodline should handle Roman Reigns following his SummerSlam return
The return of Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2024 seemingly ruined Solo Sikoa's plan to bring the Undisputed WWE Championship back to The Bloodline. Meanwhile, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray recently discussed how The Street Champion and his associates, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa, could potentially counter The Original Tribal Chief.
Cody Rhodes defended his title against Sikoa in a brutal Bloodline Rules Match at The Biggest Party of The Summer this past weekend. Despite Kevin Owens and Randy Orton arriving at the aid of The American Nightmare, Cody faced a brutal assault at the hands of The Samoan Werewolf.
Ultimately, The Big Dog made a shocking return and nailed a Superman Punch and a Spear on Solo Sikoa, enabling Cody Rhodes to retain the title. The New Tribal Chief was visibly enraged by the 39-year-old former Universal Champion's unexpected return.
While speaking on the Busted Open podcast, Bully Ray suggested that to regain heat, Solo's Bloodline should viciously attack The Original Tribal Chief in the coming weeks on WWE television.
"The heat that The Bloodline has to get back cannot be on anybody else but Roman Reigns. This has to be a situation where Roman Reigns is in the middle of the ring, and like a pack of hyenas, The Bloodline has to attack. In my opinion, that's where the heat lies; they have to get it on Roman Reigns. Roman must be left laying by The Bloodline. That's how you get heat back on them," Ray said. [From 11:45 to 12:15]

Bully Ray on what will happen with major WWE star's feud if Roman Reigns is involved in a feud with The Bloodline
During the same interaction on the Busted Open podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer commented on Cody Rhodes' upcoming challenger if Roman becomes occupied with The Bloodline saga.
Bully Ray predicted that if The Big Dog becomes embroiled in a heated rivalry with Solo's version of The Bloodline, The American Nightmare's next opponent will be overshadowed.
"If Roman [Reigns] goes over to The Bloodline, and he's taking care of the family business, that is going to be such an important story that I think it will overshadow, outshine, maybe whoever Cody's [Rhodes] next opponent is," he said.
The Original Tribal Chief will make his first SmackDown TV appearance since WrestleMania 40 on this week's edition of the Friday Night Show. Fans will be on the edge of their seats to witness what Roman Reigns has to say about Solo Sikoa taking over The Bloodline in his absence.
