Roman Reigns to return with new Enforcer, legend to dethrone Cody Rhodes? - 4 predictions for The Bloodline saga after Money in the Bank
The Bloodline has been wreaking havoc on WWE SmackDown in Roman Reigns' absence. The faction now has a new Tribal Chief, Solo Sikoa, who has been ruthless and unstoppable. The once Enforcer of the faction is now sitting on Reigns' throne.
The stable's dominant run continued last night at Money in the Bank as the heel stable went on to defeat Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton in a six-man tag match. Following their recent win, fans are wondering what is next in the program.
To feed into the curiosities, here are four bold predictions for The Bloodline saga after Money in the Bank:
#4. Solo Sikoa adds Hikuleo to The Bloodline
Since kicking Jimmy Uso out, Solo Sikoa has added Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu to his version of The Bloodline. The former Enforcer could soon add another member to his stable.
Rumor has it that Tama Tonga's half-brother Hikuleo could make his WWE debut shortly. The creative team could introduce him as the newest member of The Bloodline. Solo could welcome the 6ft 8inch monster into his faction with open arms, further strengthening The Bloodline.
#3. New Wiseman
Solo Sikoa turned on Paul Heyman after The Wiseman refused to acknowledge him as the new Tribal Chief. Solo, along with the rest of The Bloodline, brutally decimated Heyman on an episode of WWE SmackDown. The brutal beatdown led to the WWE Hall of Famer being stretchered out of the arena.
With Paul Heyman seemingly now out of the faction, Solo could introduce a new Wiseman in the coming days. The Enforcer could have his father, Rikishi, return to replace Heyman in his version of The Bloodline. The Samoan could make a comeback as a heel to align with his son.
#2. Roman Reigns returns with a new Enforcer
There were murmurs of Roman Reigns returning to WWE at Money in the Bank. Sadly, that didn't happen. That said, The Tribal Chief's WWE return may not be too far off.
Roman Reigns could return at WWE SummerSlam to confront Solo Sikoa. However, the former Big Dog may not return alone. Reigns could have a new Enforcer, Zilla Fatu, by his side.
Son of late great Umaga, Zilla recently sent a message to Roman Reigns on social media. Since then, fans have been speculating that he could potentially align with The Tribal Chief in the inevitable Bloodline civil war. Zilla could be Roman's muscle and prove to be vital asset for the former Big Dog in the upcoming war.
#1. The Rock dethrones Cody Rhodes
With Solo Sikoa pinning Cody Rhodes last night, it seems WWE is headed towards a potential match between the duo at SummerSlam. However, it can be argued that Rhodes vs. Solo at the Biggest Party of the Summer isn't really an enticing prospect.
Hence, Solo could make way for The Rock, who does have some unfinished business with Cody Rhodes. The Final Boss could return to replace Solo Sikoa in a potential match against The American Nightmare for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam. If that does happen, Rock could dethrone Rhodes with the help of The Bloodline.
