WWE icon to return at Crown Jewel; unveil himself as the mastermind behind Bloodline 2.0? Exploring potential swerve
The WWE Crown Jewel Premium Live Event on November 2 is going to witness one of the highly anticipated matches of this year. It's Roman Reigns and The Usos going up against the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline.
While the odds seemed to be stacked against Solo's brigade, things might not be hunky-dory for Roman either. The Crown Jewel mega event might witness a WWE legend make his return and take charge as the mastermind behind Solo's Bloodline 2.0. And who could that legend be? It's the 59-year-old WWE legend, Rikishi.
While the Hall of Famer may not be actively involved in the Bloodline storyline on-screen and behind the scenes, he has always had his say on what he feels about the entire saga on his podcasts and interviews. At Crown Jewel 2024, he might finally take a step forward and come out and save the day for Solo Sikoa and his men.
Earlier, it was expected that Rikishi might return and bring his sons, The Usos, together. However, that might not be the case anymore as Jimmy and Jey Uso have already buried their hatchet.

Further, the WWE Hall of Famer might not just come alone but might bring a new Samoan to Solo Sikoa's camp. That superstar could be Hikuleo, the former NJPW star who has already reportedly signed a contract with WWE.
He's the brother of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa's half-brother, who are both in Solo's team. So, Hikuleo might as well be added by Rikishi as another member of the group. Rikishi could then become the new Wiseman of Solo Sikoa's Bloodline 2.0.
This would further make the battle murkier for a potential Survivor Series: WarGames bout between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa where Paul Heyman would be the Wiseman of Reigns' team, and Rikishi would lead Solo and his troops.
The Usos and Roman Reigns cost Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa their WWE Tag Team Championships
Jimmy and Jey Uso along with Roman Reigns pulled up a big shocker this past week on SmackDown when they cost the Bloodline 2.0 their WWE Tag Team Championship against Motor City Machine Guns.
Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin (MCMG) reaped the benefit of this rivalry between the two Samoan factions. The Usos attacked Solo Sikoa's men and cost them their titles.

So, the fight between the two groups is going to get uglier as Solo Sikoa would certainly be having some strategy to outclass Reigns and company. And that plan might have been having Rikishi come out, bring a new member into the group, and have an upper hand.
While it's difficult to predict the outcome of this match at Crown Jewel, it appears Solo's Bloodline shall not be defeated easily by Roman Reigns and The Usos. There might be more than what meets the eye. The WWE universe has to wait and watch what happens at the PLE this Saturday.
