Roman Reigns apologises to 2 former champions; 6ft 8 in giant to be his Enforcer? - 3 ways he can respond to the Bloodline attack on SmackDown
Roman Reigns made a big impact at the SummerSlam 2024 Premium Live Event as he cost Solo Sikoa a chance to win the Undisputed WWE Title. He followed that up with a wild appearance on SmackDown, causing chaos for the new Bloodline.
The Original Tribal Chief might have had the upper hand before, but this week was a whole different story. On last night's SmackDown, the focus was on who would get their hands on the sacred Ula Fala. Reigns succeeded in seizing it and briefly adorning it. However, things took a turn for the worse when Jacob Fatu showed up and took out Reigns.
Roman Reigns was then hoisted up for a powerbomb and driven through the announcer's table, evoking memories of his previous exploits with The Shield. Now, how will he respond to this attack? Here are three ways he can retaliate.
#3 Roman Reigns apologizes to Jey Uso and Sami Zayn and urges them to join him
The 39-year-old finds himself in need of reinforcements as he faces off against his former Enforcer. He could consider reaching out to past champions Jey Uso and Sami Zayn for some much-needed assistance.
It seems that a reunion of the original Bloodline is on the horizon, and Reigns might just show up on RAW to patch things up with Main Event Jey and Zayn. Apologizing for his previous actions would be a significant first step for him.
Not long ago, Jey Uso was spotted backstage, where he was boosting Zayn's spirits ahead of his match against Bron Breakker. This interaction might have been a way for the former Bloodline members to align themselves, preparing for a future opportunity to join forces with their old Tribal Chief against the new Bloodline.
#2 Hikuleo debuts as Roman Reigns' new Enforcer
The Bloodline 2.0 has upped the ante with fresh faces like Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu joining the crew. They’re already giving off a menacing vibe, and this week’s ambush on Reigns showed just how dangerous they can be.
Fatu's actions against Roman Reigns have made him the most intimidating wrestler in WWE at the moment. That's why Roman might need some backup to take them on and reclaim his position as Tribal Chief. He could team up with the 6'8" Hikuleo to battle the new faction.
It was recently reported that the giant wrestler has signed with the Stamford-based promotion. Being the son of the legendary Haku, Hikuleo is poised to play a significant role in this narrative, and it could all start with becoming Reigns' new Enforcer.
#1 Challenges Sikoa to a Tribal Combat match to determine The Tribal Chief
Things are heating up in the rivalry, especially with the chance to don the legendary Ula Fala and claim the title of the Tribal Chief. The former Undisputed Universal Champion could challenge Solo Sikoa to a Tribal Combat match to settle their dispute once and for all.
This could amp up the drama in the Bloodline saga. It'll be interesting to see how often Reigns shows up since he has a pretty flexible schedule. The Stamford-based promotion might stretch this feud out until late September, wrapping things up at the Bad Blood 2024 Premium Live Event on October 5.
The ongoing rivalry aligns seamlessly with the thematic elements of the event. Sikoa has already thrown down the gauntlet to the Head of the Table, trying to reclaim his position, so Roman Reigns might just raise the stakes by making it an official match.
