Real-life Bloodline member to join; Roman Reigns attacked by 6 ft 8 in star? -3 directions for The OTC after big loss at Crown Jewel
Roman Reigns got pinned by Solo Sikoa in the six-man tag team match at the Crown Jewel 2024 Premium Live Event. The OTC was defeated after Sikoa hit him with two Samoan Spikes to beat him cleanly.
It was a surprising loss for The Original Tribal Chief. This might suggest a change in the power dynamics within the family, as the tension between Reigns and Jey Uso was evident. Jey appeared hesitant to tag in Roman, indicating that there are still trust issues that need to be addressed.
This match showed that Roman Reigns has a tough path ahead of him. After that unexpected loss at the PLE, here are three possible directions for the former Undisputed WWE Champion.
#3. Roman Reigns could lash out at Sami Zayn
During the PLE on November 2, Sami Zayn stepped in to assist Jey Uso when the new Bloodline ambushed Reigns, Jimmy, and Jey after the match.
Amid the chaos, Zayn accidentally kicked Reigns. The 39-year-old is unlikely to appreciate such a blow. To make matters worse, Zayn didn’t seem particularly remorseful about it. It could have been a mere accident, but deep down, he might not feel any regret. After all, he’s been focused on aiding Jey and hasn’t truly let go of his grudge against Reigns.
The OTC could use the mishap as a reason to go after Zayn in the next SmackDown episode, adding some more drama to the Bloodline storyline.
#2. Hikuleo could debut and brutalize Roman Reigns
WWE recently filed a trademark for the name Talla Tonga, which has fans buzzing about a possible link to Hikuleo. This massive Tongan is the son of the iconic Haku and the brother of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
He’d blend in with Solo Sikoa’s expanding Bloodline. This six-foot-eight powerhouse could make his debut and take down The Original Tribal Chief in a way that would send chills through every member of the Original Bloodline.
By coming in and taking down Reigns, he would catch everyone's eye. This would also elevate Bloodline 2.0 and position him as a key figure in WWE, cranking up the excitement for what's ahead.
#1. The OTC might recruit Umaga's son Zilla Fatu to even the odds
The son of the late WWE legend Umaga has been frequently associated with the company as the Bloodline saga keeps developing. He was recently spotted hanging out with WWE icon Rikishi.
Zilla has always expressed a desire to team up with his cousins in the Stamford-based promotion. As the son of the legendary Umaga, he’ll likely make that move eventually. Plus, he’s already teamed up with Jacob Fatu on the independent circuit before The Samoan Werewolf made his way to WWE.
Fans are all excited about the possibility of him teaming up with his cousins. If Hikuleo joins forces with his brothers, Roman Reigns may find himself in need of some backup. Enter Zilla, who could play a crucial role in this unfolding drama.
