4 WWE stars who could’ve been better choices to team up with Roman Reigns at Bad Blood

Roman Reigns' match for Bad Blood 2024 is now official as The Original Tribal Chief will team up with Cody Rhodes to face Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a tag team match. Earlier, The American Nightmare had refused to join forces with Roman. However, both stars eventually signed the contract, making their match official for Bad Blood 2024.

This angle received mixed reactions from the WWE Universe, with many wondering why Cody initially refused to team up with Roman if he planned to sign the contract anyway.

In this article, we will discuss four superstars who could have been better choices to team up with Roman Reigns at Bad Blood 2024.

#4. Hikuleo's debut as Roman Reigns' partner could have been a viable option

Hikuleo is one of the rumored stars expected to join The Bloodline Saga in the coming months. However, with Roman Reigns requiring a partner, debuting Hikuleo as a babyface and introducing him as The Original Tribal Chief's partner could have been a better option than Cody Rhodes.

A possible scenario could have seen Roman bringing Hikuleo into the main event of the SmackDown season premiere. This could have been a great way to introduce Hikuleo, generating buzz among fans as he teams up with Roman at Bad Blood 2024, if WWE decided to go in this direction.

#3. Jey Uso reuniting with Roman Reigns might have been a better choice

Jey Uso and Roman Reigns have a lot of bad blood between them, as The Yeet Master betrayed The Head of the Table in the past and eventually left The Bloodline. However, a reunion of the original Bloodline seems to be on the horizon, and having Jey reunite with Roman for this tag team match could have been a better choice.

The 39-year-old star was confronted by The Bloodline at Backlash France, confirming that Jey's return to this storyline is likely. WWE could create a scenario where Paul Heyman convinces Jey Uso to help Reigns in this battle, leading to Roman and Jey teaming up at the Bad Blood 2024 Premium Live Event.

#2. The Rock teaming up with Roman Reigns for WWE Bad Blood would have been appropriate

The Rock's comeback to WWE is currently uncertain, but he is expected to compete at WrestleMania next year. Many fans are already predicting that The Final Boss could be revealed as the mastermind behind Solo Sikoa's actions against Roman Reigns. In this scenario, The People's Champion would have been an excellent choice as The Original Tribal Chief's tag team partner for Bad Blood 2024.

The story could unfold with The Rock returning as Roman’s partner, reflecting their bond from WrestleMania XL, where The Great One did everything possible to keep Roman as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion but ultimately failed. Upon his return, The Rock could declare himself as Roman's partner. However, at Bad Blood 2024, The Brahma Bull could betray Reigns, revealing himself as the true mastermind behind Sikoa’s actions.

This angle would undoubtedly bring a major twist to the ongoing Bloodline Saga, making it even more compelling for the WWE Universe.

#1. Jimmy Uso's return as Roman Reigns' tag team partner could have been a decent alternative

Jimmy Uso was attacked by The Bloodline a few months ago, and since then, he has been on a hiatus from WWE. Fans have been eagerly anticipating Jimmy’s return every week, but it has yet to materialize. However, the 39-year-old star could have been a better choice as Roman Reigns' partner for Bad Blood 2024 instead of Cody Rhodes.

One of the strongest reasons for this is the storyline itself as both Jimmy and Roman want to exact revenge on The Bloodline. Additionally, Uso was in Reigns' corner during their last encounter. This could have been a logical step for Jimmy to return and eventually align with The Original Tribal Chief for Bad Blood 2024.
