WWE may have teased Roman Reigns' first ally after shocking SummerSlam return
Roman Reigns shocked the WWE Universe with an earth-shattering return at SummerSlam. The Original Tribal Chief left Solo Sikoa in a heap, and the creative team may have just teased the first person who will join his side following his return.
The first person who could join Reigns following his return is none other than Jimmy Uso. WWE recently dropped a massive tease on one of its social media handles.
Solo Sikoa challenged Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam. Hours before the event, on SmackDown, Sikoa offered Rhodes to compete in a Bloodline Rules match, and The American Nightmare accepted. Things worked out in Cody Rhodes’ favor when he was close to losing the match after The Bloodline’s interferences. Roman Reigns came out to a raucous ovation from the crowd and took down the phony Tribal Chief to help Cody secure the win.
Following his much-anticipated return, the company posted a video on YouTube with Roman Reigns’ best returns to date. The company may have dropped a major hint, as the video's thumbnail shows Reigns with Jimmy Uso.
Check out the video WWE posted on YouTube below:
Solo Sikoa viciously beat down Jimmy Uso and expelled him from The Bloodline after WrestleMania XL. The multi-time tag team champion may be nearing a return to the ring, and he could join Roman Reigns in his bid to regain control of The Bloodline.
While nothing is evident at the moment, it can be said that fans will see some original Bloodline members join The Original Tribal Chief in the coming months. Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman could return soon to join Roman Reigns before Sami Zayn and Jey Uso reunite with him. It would be the perfect way to assemble the original Bloodline to take down Solo Sikoa’s faction.
Jimmy Uso has worked with Roman Reigns for years
The original Bloodline came to be when The Tribal Chief forced Jey Uso to join his side after defeating him in a Universal Championship match. Jimmy Uso was injured at the time but joined his cousins soon after he recovered.
Jimmy was instrumental in the rise of the faction that took over the company. He even betrayed his brother Jey later on to ensure that he would continue with Roman Reigns for longer.
It would make perfect sense for him to pick up where he left off and join his leader once again. He'd be a great addition to the original Bloodline squad.
WWE has a knack of dropping hints on YouTube
WWE has dropped hints on YouTube over the years before massive returns and storylines. Fans have seen videos of The Rock, John Cena, and other top stars pop up just days before they've made surprise returns.
The most recent tease includes a thumbnail of Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso together. Instead of having Reigns alone in the thumbnail or adding other original Bloodline members to it, the company went ahead with just the two of them.
This could be another major tease as The Tribal Chief will need some backup soon if he goes to war with Solo Sikoa's faction. Adding a trusted family member to the team would make the most sense.
Jimmy Uso will have a score to settle with Solo Sikoa's Bloodline
One of the major reasons why Jimmy Uso will return is to get back at the new Tribal Chief. Solo Sikoa attacked Jimmy and laid him out to make a statement while kicking him out of the faction.
Jimmy was the last original member of The Bloodline who was kicked out of the faction as Solo took over. It would make complete sense for him to come back to dismantle the bootleg faction.
Joining a babyface Roman Reigns will allow Jimmy Uso to also turn face and work with one of the biggest names in sports entertainment again. Therefore, the tease could turn out to be true as both men have a similar aim.
