Roman Reigns to bring back retired Attitude Era star to WWE and make him the new Wiseman? Potential Bloodline swerve explored
Roman Reigns may call himself the Original Tribal Chief, but he's without a tribe and his Wiseman. Paul Heyman's absence has left a huge void, which has been felt deeply by the 39-year-old since his return.
Last week on SmackDown, Roman Reigns told Jimmy Uso that if The Wiseman was around, the Jey Uso situation would have been fixed by now. Paul Heyman hasn't been seen on TV since Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline Powerbombed him through the announce desk.
If the WWE Hall of Famer doesn't come back, Reigns could reach out to The Attitude Era star, Rikishi, and ask him to become the new Wiseman. The Samoan Stinker has been heavily rumored to get involved in The Bloodline storyline.
If there was ever a time to insert Rikishi into the program, it's now. The 59-year-old Anoa'i family member could mediate between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso, helping the OG Bloodline get back together in time for Survivor Series: WarGames.
Rikishi's potential involvement may lead to a face-off with his son, Solo Sikoa, and The Street Champ's Bloodline could take him out in a similar way to that of Paul Heyman.
The possibilities are endless, but the aforementioned scenario is just mere speculation at the moment. It will be interesting to see if Triple H picks up the phone and brings in Rikishi to add another layer to The Bloodline storyline.
Rikishi wants to see Roman Reigns face top Bloodline member
Speaking on his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi discussed the possibility of a dream match between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu.
The WWE Hall of Famer said that The Samoan Werewolf should be booked to pose a serious threat to the Original Tribal Chief's career.
"I think there will probably be a time when Jacob is ready because that angle between those two Jacob and Roman Reigns] needs to come with an impact. What's special about that? Would it capture the audience? When Jacob does something to Roman, it should be something to take him back out. Like pretty much, 'I beat you up so bad, it almost ends your career.' It should be an ambulance. It should be something like him going through surgery for whatever," he said.
The Bloodline storyline is getting deeper every week. In the most recent episode of RAW, Solo Sikoa and Co. crashed the main event between Jey Uso and Bron Breakker, causing The YEET Master to lose his Intercontinental Championship.
Will Jey Uso head to SmackDown this week? Only time will tell!
