Roman Reigns to be suddenly betrayed by legendary ally immediately after return? Exploring the potential
Roman Reigns has found himself in trouble during his absence from WWE, with The Bloodline stolen from him. With the star potentially returning extremely soon, there’s a chance that he will find himself in an uncomfortable position almost immediately on his return.
Before Reigns left after his loss at WrestleMania, the star had been helped by Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, and The Rock. Jimmy is now out injured and was kicked out of The Bloodline by Sikoa, who has taken over the faction and brought in his own stars to fill the void. With Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu now forming a formidable team of their own, it’s very likely that when Reigns returns, Sikoa will not be handing over control.
As such, this leaves only The Final Boss - The Rock - whom he can trust. The star helped him when he most needed it, but even if he was not completely successful, that was exactly what needed to happen for Roman Reigns. Returning to face these odds, it’s likely that he will call on The Rock, and immediately find himself in trouble.
At this time, it’s very unlikely that Solo Sikoa is the mastermind behind the coup of The Bloodline. Paul Heyman is also no longer a part of it. This leaves The Rock as the one behind it all. So, taking advantage of Reigns’ trust, The Rock could betray him immediately. After returning he would pretend to work with the star, only to then turn on him the moment it suits him.
This would allow The Rock to take over The Bloodline and be acknowledged, something that probably rankled at him when he had to bow down to Reigns. This would naturally lead to a future WrestleMania match between the two, bringing to a close the story that started at the beginning of this year.
Roman Reigns vs The Rock is the end goal for WWE
While Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns is the story that was told this WrestleMania, originally, the plan was for Reigns to face The Rock. The fact that they didn’t tell that story was only due to the pressure from the fans who wanted to see Rhodes’ story finally concluded.
Now that the story has been told, it would be the perfect next step to return to. The two stars have readymade lore surrounding them and would end well for everyone concerned.
Fans will have to wait and see if that’s what happens.
