With the Bloodline casting out Paul Heyman in an intense episode of WWE SmackDown, many believe that Solo Sikoa's recent actions are setting up Roman Reigns' return. According to a veteran, another legendary name may also come back to support Reigns.

As things stand now, veteran journalist Bill Apter thinks The Usos may reunite to help Reigns. However, that still leaves him outnumbered. If the former WWE Universal Champion returns to the active scene, he will need allies to take on Solo Sikoa and the new version of the Bloodline.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, Bill Apter suggested that Rikishi should return to be the fourth person on Roman Reigns' team.

"I got the last guy. Rikishi. Perfect time to bring him back. All he has to do is stink face, and everybody will be happy... He would be on Roman's side," he stated. [28:19 onwards]

While the pitch seems unlikely to materialize, considering the last time Rikishi wrestled was in 2019, wilder things have happened in pro wrestling. It remains to be seen what happens next on WWE SmackDown.

He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former.
