Roman Reigns names new Tribal Heir, feuding with the 'Shield' & more- 3 ways The Tribal Chief could return to WWE 

Roman Reigns has been on a hiatus since his loss at the hands of Cody Rhodes nearly a fortnight ago at WrestleMania 40. While nothing has been confirmed, The Tribal Chief is rumored to return before SummerSlam.

There are several possible ways the creative team could book the former Big Dog's epic return to WWE. The following piece will take a look at three such ways Roman could make his comeback to the Stamford-based company.


#3. Roman Reigns returns as a babyface to squash Solo Sikoa

Solo Sikoa has gone on a rampage on WWE SmackDown in Roman's absence. The Enforcer defied Paul Heyman and joined forces with Tama Tonga to kick Jimmy Uso out of The Bloodline on the SmackDown After WrestleMania XL. Last Friday, the duo unleashed a vicious attack on Kevin Owens.

Given how things have unfolded, it seems like WWE is headed toward a mouthwatering battle between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. The creative team could have Reigns return as a babyface to stop Solo in his tracks.

The former Big Dog could undergo a character change upon his return and squash Solo to reclaim his throne as The Tribal Chief of The Bloodline.

Seth Rollins played an integral role in helping Cody Rhodes end Roman Reigns' reign of terror. Apart from having The American Nightmare's back throughout, The Visionary acted as The American Nightmare's Shield during the high-profile clash.

Hence, Roman could look to exact revenge on Seth Rollins upon his comeback. The Tribal Chief could blame Seth for his title loss before laying waste to him. The creative team could then book the former Shield brothers in a high-octane feud, leading to a blockbuster match.

As mentioned earlier, Solo Sikoa has taken control of the Bloodline with the help of Tama Tonga in Roman's absence. In just two weeks, the duo have become a force to reckon with on the blue brand. Considering the recent developments, The Tribal Chief could return with his own muscle, Jacob Fatu.

For fans unaware, Sam Fatu's son, Jacob, recently signed with WWE, and the company could align him with Roman following the former champion's comeback.

Reigns and The Samoan Werewolf could usurp Solo and Tama Tonga. Following that, The Tribal Chief could name Jacob as the new Tribal Heir of The Bloodline.
