Roman Reigns has been one of WWE's biggest attractions at WrestleMania in the past decade. Meanwhile, wrestling analyst Sam Roberts recently named Jacob Fatu as an ideal opponent for the Original Tribal Chief in Las Vegas next year.
The Samoan Werewolf has been on a warpath since joining the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline. The six-foot-two-inch wrestler recently manhandled Roman Reigns, putting him on the sidelines just weeks into the Original Tribal Chief''s run as a babyface.
Solo Sikoa recently said he and the rest of The Bloodline members would acknowledge Roman Reigns as their Tribal Chief if the former Universal Champion managed to regain the Ula Fala.
Many feel Sikoa vs. Reigns is the endgame for The Bloodline storyline. However, WWE analyst Sam Roberts does not feel the same. In the recent edition of the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Roberts claimed that Jacob Fatu would do everything in his power to keep Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief after The Street Champion's potential defeat to Roman Reigns in an inevitable singles match in the future.

"Here's the way it plays out. Roman Reigns loses at WarGames. The new Bloodline wins that one. [Roman] Reigns then goes on to beat Solo Sikoa. Solo Sikoa on SmackDown gets prepared to give his Ula Fala to [Roman] Reigns. Jacob Fatu runs in, spikes [Roman] Reigns, puts him down on the ground, takes out The Usos, and takes out whoever's there. Takes out Sami Zayn; takes out everybody from The Original Bloodline. And now Jacob Fatu tells Solo Sikoa to put the Ula Fala back on. Solo Sikoa is now The Tribal Chief because Jacob Fatu will not allow him to step down," Roberts said.
The analyst further claimed that The Samoan Destroyer could hold the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief as hostage, eventually leading to a singles match between Fatu and Roman at The Show of Shows next year.
"Jacob Fatu won't allow Solo Sikoa to give up his position until [Roman] Reigns is the first and only person to beat Jacob Fatu. And that's when Solo Sikoa gives [Roman] Reigns the Ula Fala, and Roman Reigns is back to being The Tribal Chief. With the context being that Solo Sikoa is held hostage as The Tribal Chief until [Roman] Reigns can beat Jacob Fatu, is my WrestleMania match for [Roman] Reigns," he added. (37:57-40:08)

When will Roman Reigns return to WWE TV?
As of this writing, there's no official word on when the Original Tribal Chief will be back on television.
Reigns was written off TV immediately after he was brutally taken out by Solo Sikoa and Co. on the blue brand last month. Shortly after the beatdown, he was seemingly pulled from the September 13 edition of SmackDown. The upcoming episode will mark the brand's return to the USA Network.
Recently, the USA Network's X handle shared a promotional graphic to hype the upcoming episode. The graphic also featured the Original Tribal Chief, which led to speculation about his potential return to television this Friday.
Meanwhile, Solo Sikoa has once again set his sights on winning the Undisputed WWE Championship. The Street Champ will challenge The American Nightmare in a Steel Cage Match this Friday. It will be interesting to see if Roman interferes during the title match.
