Paul Heyman to bring a new Enforcer; another Fatu to join Roman Reigns' faction? - 4 stars the OTC could recruit if Solo Sikoa adds another member
Since Solo Sikoa stepped up to lead The Bloodline after Roman Reigns, things have been shifting quickly. Sikoa added Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu to his crew.
The Bloodline has a wide network, with plenty of stars from both within and outside the organization likely set to join their legendary legacy down the line. The Street Champion could soon add 6'8" Tongan Hikuleo into the faction since the Stamford-based promotion has reportedly signed him.
If the old Enforcer adds another member, Roman Reigns might need to consider boosting his crew as well. Here are four potential recruits he could bring on board if The Bloodline makes a new addition.
#4 Rikishi could return to bring in his fourth son Thamiko Fatu to aid Roman Reigns
The WWE Hall of Famer could return and introduce his fourth son, Thamiko Fatu, to the Original Tribal Chief's clan.
The young Samoan is putting in the hard work to sharpen his wrestling skills and get comfortable on the mic. His improvements have been impressive, and if he keeps this up, we might just see him in the WWE limelight before long.
With the WarGames match at Survivor Serie later this month possibly involving The Bloodline Civil War, the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion might want to add some backup. That’s where Rikishi could step in and bring The Usos' youngest of the brothers into the mix.
Involving him in The Bloodline storyline would be a win-win for both WWE and the up-and-coming star, plus it gives Reigns a solid ally to take on Sikoa and company.
#3 Paul Heyman may finally return and bring in Umaga's son Zilla Fatu as Roman Reigns' new Enforcer
Paul Heyman was last seen in the ring on the June 28 episode of SmackDown, where he got brutalized by Solo Sikoa and the rest of The Bloodline. The Wiseman ended up crashing through the commentary table after failing to acknowledge Solo as his Tribal Chief.
Roman Reigns is in a tough spot right now, and he might be turning to his Wiseman for help like never before. This time, though, Heyman could be bringing along the son of the legendary Umaga into the mix.
The 58-year-old veteran could explain that he had been away to scout the Anoaʻi family for credible candidates to back his Tribal Chief, and he finally found Zilla Fatu. This young real-life Bloodline member bears a striking resemblance to his famous father and is eager to carve out his legacy in WWE, possibly joining forces with his cousins in the ongoing saga.
#2 The OTC may finally recruit Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn joining forces with the OG Bloodline has been something fans have been waiting for. In the latest episode of RAW, it seemed like it might finally go down as Jey Uso invited him on SmackDown to have a discussion.
The former Honorary Uce made a surprise appearance to back Roman and The Usos at Crown Jewel 2024. In a twist of fate, he inadvertently delivered a Helluva Kick to the former leader of The Bloodline. His actions during the event reveal that Sami still holds a special place in his heart for his old faction mates.
However, he declines to align with Roman due to the latter's persistent doubts about Zayn's loyalty in the past. But things might change if the 40-year-old decides to take Jey's offer and show up on the blue brand this week.
Should Roman Reigns refrain from casting any shadows on Sami's loyalty, he may very well be open to rekindling ties with them.
#1 The 39-year-old could recruit Lance Anoa'i
Lance Anoa'i is the son of Samu, who happens to be a cousin of the former Intercontinental Champion, Rikishi. Back in 2019, he teamed up with Reigns, stepping in as a member of the Anoa'i family to face off against Shane McMahon, who was in a fierce feud with the Original Tribal Chief, along with Drew McIntyre.
With his well-known family background, a lot of people are curious if Lance might return to the company. With Roman Reigns having such a strong influence in WWE, it looks like there's a solid shot that the wrestler could be brought back. And honestly, what could be cooler than teaming up with his cousin for a Bloodline vs. Bloodline showdown?
