Solo Sikoa sends a message to Roman Reigns after declaring himself as The Tribal Chief

Solo Sikoa sent a message to Roman Reigns after declaring himself as The Tribal Chief, amid the latter's absence. Reigns has been absent since losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

At WrestleMania XL, Reigns' historic title reign ended at the hands of Cody Rhodes, who dethroned his arch-rival in their highly anticipated rematch. The previous year, at WrestleMania 39, Reigns had successfully retained his title.

Sikoa took to his Instagram story to post a photograph of Reigns, recalling the time the latter had declared him as the next Tribal Chief and the one who would take over his position. The former NXT North American Champion sent a four-word message as well.

"It was meant to be...." wrote Sikoa.

Eric Bischoff believes WWE shouldn't bring back Roman Reigns at SummerSlam

A large portion of the WWE Universe believes that Roman Reigns will return at the upcoming SummerSlam Premium Live Event.

However, on his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff suggested that the company shouldn't bring back the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion just yet. He believes it would be too soon for The Head of the Table to return with so many recent changes within The Bloodline still taking shape. Bischoff felt it hadn't reached a stage yet where the fans were pining for Roman's return.

"Okay, Roman's [Reigns] gone, but there's been so many moves on the chessboard since that time that it's hard to even recognize, 'Oh yeah, he's been gone!' So much [is] going on; nobody's missing him. Just deep down in your instincts, your subconscious says, 'God, I really like to see Roman show up. God, I wonder if Roman's going to surprise us tonight!' They [WWE] are not there yet," said Bischoff.

With Roman Reigns being absent from WWE television, Solo Sikoa has taken charge of The Bloodline. He has also added three new members to the group with the latest being Jacob Fatu, who debuted as the new Enforcer.

At SummerSlam 2024, Sikoa will challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. There are chances of Reigns returning at the PLE, alongside Paul Heyman, who was also taken out by the new version of The Bloodline.
