Former WWE Champion to reveal himself as the new Tribal Chief of The Bloodline on SmackDown this week? Exploring the twist

WWE recently announced that The Bloodline will hold a special acknowledgment ceremony segment on the upcoming episode of SmackDown. Although the details of the ceremony remain a mystery, Solo Sikoa informed Paul Heyman last week that Roman Reigns won't be making a return.

The event might take place to announce the new Tribal Chief. Even though The Enforcer seems like the frontrunner, there's a chance that the honor could go to none other than former WWE Champion The Rock. The Brahma Bull might show up unexpectedly on the upcoming blue brand episode to reveal that he's been calling the shots all along.

The Rock hinted at taking over as The Head of the Table on The Road to WrestleMania 40. He positioned himself as the ultimate decision-maker, dubbing himself as The Final Boss. Renowned for his history of dismantling factions, Rock could have secretly taken charge of The Bloodline and assumed the role of the new Tribal Chief during Roman Reigns' absence.

Sikoa previously stated that he was following the orders of The Tribal Chief when he attacked Jimmy Uso after 'Mania. Since then, he has taken charge and brought in Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and Jacob Fatu into the faction, leading fans to speculate if he is acting under Reigns' influence.

The Enforcer recently disclosed to Paul Heyman that Reigns will not be returning, hinting at the arrival of a new Tribal Chief. This revelation may come to light in the upcoming episode of SmackDown, where it could be unveiled that The Great One was the one issuing orders to Solo Sikoa.

It remains to be seen if it will happen, as at this time, it's just conjecture. Let's wait and watch.

Could The Rock really be the new Tribal Chief of The Bloodline?

The last appearance of The Great One suggests that his feud with Cody Rhodes is far from over. The Rock and The American Nightmare could face off again soon.

The 52-year-old legend took a hiatus due to his commitments to Hollywood. In the meantime, Sikoa has embarked on a pursuit of Cody Rhodes, seemingly to reclaim the Undisputed WWE Title for The Bloodline. It remains to be seen if Solo's ultimate goal is to secure the championship or to undermine Rhodes on behalf of his new leader, The Rock, while simultaneously gaining control over The Bloodline.

As stated earlier, Sikoa revealed that he was following The Tribal Chief's orders, but he never specified if it was Roman Reigns. Times have changed, and the new Tribal Chief may be none other than The Rock.
