Did WWE just drop an unexpected hint on Roman Reigns' near future? Potential analyzed

Roman Reigns is set to appear on tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown, marking the Original Tribal Chief's first appearance on the blue brand after a long hiatus. While Reigns' return is highly anticipated by the WWE Universe, the company has unexpectedly hinted at the former Universal Champion's future, suggesting that Roman might go on hiatus again soon.

This hint was dropped by the Stamford-based promotion when Reigns started being advertised for the September 13, 2024, episode of SmackDown. This edition of the blue brand is set to take place at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, WA. The surprising aspect here is that Roman will appear in tonight's episode and next week's SmackDown.

After that, he is currently scheduled to return directly for the September 13 episode, which could indicate that WWE plans to write him off television soon.

A likely scenario could involve Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline faction launching a brutal attack on Roman during the August 16, 2024, edition of SmackDown. This attack angle would allow WWE to write Reigns off of TV. The reason behind this move could be that WWE wants Roman to avoid the upcoming Bash in Berlin Premium Live Event.

Roman's return in mid-September suggests that he will be back in time for the build-up to the Bad Blood PLE, where he is expected to wrestle. For those who might not know, Bash in Berlin 2024 is scheduled for Saturday, August 31, 2024, at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany, while Bad Blood 2024 will emanate live on October 5, 2024, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

It remains to be seen how the narrative will unfold and whether Roman Reigns will return in mid-September after August 16, or if WWE will announce additional appearances for him before then.

Roman Reigns might not return alone if he written off from television

If the above scenario unfolds, Roman Reigns might not return to television alone. After being brutally attacked and outnumbered by Solo Sikoa's faction on SmackDown, Roman could use his hiatus to secretly convince The Usos to reunite with him to combat this new version of the Bloodline.

When Roman Reigns reappears on SmackDown in mid-September, he could bring The Usos along with him, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation.

Together, the OG Bloodline would then take out Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa, reasserting their dominance and reigniting the family saga in the process.
