Roman Reigns to confront Solo Sikoa's new Wiseman; reunion with old ally? - 5 things The Original Tribal Chief can do on WWE SmackDown
Roman Reigns was called out by The Bloodline on last week's episode of WWE SmackDown. The Original Tribal Chief made his return at SummerSlam, which saw him cost Solo Sikoa the Undisputed WWE Championship.
The Head of the Table is set to make another appearance on SmackDown this Friday, which could be his last one for a while. This is because he is not being advertised for any other shows currently and is only scheduled to appear on the September 13 episode of SmackDown, which will see the blue brand's move from FOX to USA Network.
With that being said, let's take a look at five things Roman Reigns could do on WWE SmackDown this week.
#5. Solo Sikoa's new Wiseman confronts Roman Reigns on SmackDown
After taking over as The Tribal Chief of The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa brought in stars of his choosing to fill each specific spot. He picked Jacob Fatu as his Enforcer and Tama Tonga as his Right-Hand Man.
However, the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief has not recruited a new Wiseman after kicking Paul Heyman out of the group. It is possible that he introduces his Wiseman during the ongoing feud with Roman Reigns.
Rikishi, who has hinted at becoming Sikoa's Special Counsel in the past, could show up on SmackDown to deal with Reigns. The WWE Hall of Famer could be sent by Sikoa to confront Reigns as the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief may not want to show up himself due to the beat-down his faction suffered last week.
#4. Roman Reigns cuts a promo, gets attacked by The Bloodline
Roman Reigns' much-anticipated return at SummerSlam had fans extremely excited about his appearance on SmackDown last week. Everyone was expecting the former Undisputed WWE Champion to address his return, but he did not speak on the show.
It is possible that The Original Tribal Chief finally cuts a promo this Friday and asks the crowd to acknowledge him before addressing his feud with Solo Sikoa.
The Bloodline could then show up to avenge last week's attack by assaulting Reigns. This way, he could be written off WWE programming until SmackDown's return to the USA Network.
#3. Roman Reigns brings back Paul Heyman
Paul Heyman has been on the sidelines since he suffered an attack at the hands of The Bloodline because he refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief on SmackDown back in June.
The Wiseman did not return with Roman Reigns, but he was spotted backstage at SummerSlam with his Tribal Chief. This could be a hint that they will reunite on TV soon.
The duo could get back together on SmackDown and Heyman may continue to further Reigns' storyline in his absence in case The OTC is written off television this Friday.
#2. Roman Reigns challenges Solo Sikoa to a match at Bash in Berlin
WWE has announced three matches for the Bash in Berlin Premium Live Event so far. The event's card will probably feature five or six matches, so Roman Reigns returning to the ring in Germany is a possibility.
Roman Reigns set his sights on regaining the Ula Fala since returning, so it is possible that he challenges Solo Sikoa to a match at Bash in Berlin for the status of the undisputed Tribal Chief.
The two cousins may agree to go head-to-head in a Tribal Combat match as it would be the perfect stipulation for their encounter.
#1. Jimmy Uso returns to join forces with Roman Reigns
Jimmy Uso was kicked out of The Bloodline by Solo Sikoa after the former failed to defeat his twin brother Jey Uso at WrestleMania XL. The record-breaking champion was assaulted by Sikoa and Tama Tonga and has been out of action since then.
According to the latest reports, Jimmy has been medically cleared to return to the ring. So, he could be back soon to side with Roman Reigns.
The two cousins could form a Tag Team and go after Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa/Jacob Fatu before The Original Tribal Chief locks horns with Sikoa. The feud could possibly be over the WWE Tag Team Titles as Reigns and Jimmy dethroning The Bloodline as champions would be a big blow to the group.
Even if they do not feud over the titles, a Tag Team Match between them would make for a great SmackDown main event. It could happen on Friday or when the blue brand returns to USA Network.
