WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi is seemingly excited for Roman Reigns' anticipated comeback after several months of absence. Meanwhile, he revealed who he believes is the main guy in The Bloodline.

The Head of the Table has been on hiatus since losing his Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. In Reigns' absence, Solo Sikoa has taken over The Bloodline, anointing himself the new Tribal Chief. Sikoa excommunicated Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman and added Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu to the faction.

The former NXT North American Champion also claimed Reigns would have to acknowledge him as his leader if he returned.

On his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi said his family had held the Stamford-based company on its back for the last few years. He added that the Anoa'is were still doing so without the main guy being there, pointing out that he means Reigns.

"You cannot knock the bloodline that has been holding professional wrestling company [such] as WWE on their backs for the last four to five, six years now. And ****, they're still holding it without the main guy there. Who's the main guy? Roman motherf****** Reigns," he said.

The Hall of Famer addressed The Head of the Table's much-awaited return, claiming he would bring much money to the company upon his comeback as he would "sell out" shows everywhere.

"Come on, y'all can write that. Write that **** because when he does come back, oh, you better have enough armored trucks to fill up that bank account for WWE/TKO. Have enough because this man here is gonna sell out everywhere, everywhere, and anywhere throughout the world that WWE books him to. That's not to mention The Usos when they come back."

Will Roman Reigns return at WWE SummerSlam?

While Solo Sikoa will challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam, many expect Roman Reigns to return at the premium live event to confront his cousin.

On the Gigantic Pop podcast, wrestling veteran Matt Morgan predicted how The Head of the Table's rumored comeback could go down at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

"I think the match has to happen. It has to be over. Cody wins, beats Solo, and then they start beating Cody up after the match, then Roman's music hits maybe. Do the stare-down thing," Morgan said.

Morgan also suggested another scenario in which Reigns could suffer an "injury" at the hands of The Bloodline upon his comeback. It would be interesting to see whether any of these scenarios would happen.
