Roman Reigns returns with a 250-lb monster & a legend, Usos join Solo Sikoa? 4 predictions for The Bloodline saga after Bash in Berlin 2024
A lot has been happening in The Bloodline storyline recently. From the Solo Sikoa-led faction brutalizing Roman Reigns, which put him on the sidelines, to Jacob Fatu relinquishing the WWE Tag Team Titles - the last few weeks in The Bloodline saga have been quite eventful.
Given the recent turn of events, fans are eager to see what's next in this entertaining storyline. To feed into this widespread curiosity, here are four bold predictions for The Bloodline program following Bash in Berlin:
#4. Solo Sikoa recruits Rikishi as the new Wiseman
The Bloodline humiliated and victimized The Wiseman, Paul Heyman, before kicking him out of the faction a while back. While there were murmurs that the leader of the stable, Solo Sikoa, could soon recruit a new Wiseman, that hasn't happened yet.
That said, things may finally change as The Street Champion could recruit his father, Rikishi, into the faction. The WWE Hall of Famer could make a return to replace Paul Heyman as The Wiseman of Solo's Bloodline.
#3. The Usos could join The Bloodline due to Rikishi
If Rikishi does return as the new Wiseman, he could make some big decisions to strengthen The Bloodline. While many expect The Usos to side with Roman Reigns in the upcoming Bloodline civil war, that may not happen.
The creative could swerve fans by having Rikishi play cupid between his three sons -The Usos and Solo Sikoa - reuniting them against Reigns. While Jey Uso's singles career has arguably gone nowhere on RAW, Jimmy has been on the sidelines due to an injury.
Rikishi could first play a key role in reuniting The Usos before coercing them to join Solo's faction. The legend could get all his three sons on the same page to form a formidable force.
#2. Hikuleo debuts and takes out Cody Rhodes
Solo Sikoa declared on the recent episode of SmackDown that he would go after the winner of the Undisputed WWE Title match between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens at Bash in Berlin. Given The American Nightmare prevailed over The Prizefighter at the spectacle, The Street Champion will be Rhodes' next challenger.
Meanwhile, there have been rumors of Solo recruiting Tama Tonga's half-brother Hikuleo into his faction, and that could happen next week on SmackDown. The six-foot-eight-inch monster could blindside Cody Rhodes before decimating him on Solo Sikoa's orders.
#1. Roman Reigns returns with Zilla Fatu and Paul Heyman
Roman Reigns has been on the sidelines ever since he was brutalized by The Bloodline a few weeks ago on SmackDown. The Original Tribal Chief may return shortly to settle his score with the Solo-led stable.
However, Reigns may not return alone as he could be accompanied by Zilla Fatu and Paul Heyman. Zilla, who is the son of the late, great Umaga, is rumored to join The Big Dog's faction after he acknowledged Roman Reigns on social media.
The 250-pound monster could be The Original Tribal Chief's new Enforcer. Meanwhile, Paul Heyman, who has been on the sidelines ever since he was kicked out of The Bloodline, was seen backstage with Reigns at SummerSlam. Hence, it won't come as a surprise if he returns alongside Roman Reigns and Zilla to confront Solo Sikoa.
