The return of Roman Reigns is already highly anticipated by the WWE Universe, especially after the recent beatdown of Paul Heyman at the hands of Solo Sikoa's Bloodline.
However, the Tribal Chief could have more than just his WiseMan's assault on his mind. He also needs to return and exact vengeance on Solo Sikoa's major theft of the Ula Fala. For those unaware, the Ula Fala is a ceremonial necklace worn on formal occasions in Samoan families.
Ula Fala holds a major prominence in the Bloodline Saga
In the Stamford-based promotion, the Ula Fala was given to Reigns by his late father, the legendary Sika Anoa’i, and Afa Anoa’i. This makes the Ula Fala one of the pivotal elements in the Bloodline Saga.
When Solo Sikoa brought out the Ula Fala on the recent SmackDown, it marked a crucial moment in this family drama. He even wore it at the hands of Jacob Fatu after The Bloodline destroyed Paul Heyman.
Solo Sikoa has seemingly stolen the Ula Fala in the absence of Roman Reigns
Since receiving the Ula Fala from his late father and Afa, Roman Reigns has been the sole bearer of the necklace on WWE television. Despite being declared the Enforcer of the Bloodline by Roman himself, Solo has never worn it.
In Reigns' absence, the actions of the former NXT North American Champion suggest that he may have stolen the Ula Fala from the Head of the Table.
This assumption provides another motive for Reigns to return—not only to seek revenge for Paul Heyman's assault but also to reclaim the Ula Fala, which Solo brought out in his absence.
Roman Reigns is still the real Tribal Chief
The Ula Fala holds significant symbolic value within the Bloodline Saga, representing the true Tribal Chief of the Samoan family. Solo Sikoa wearing the Ula Fala suggests a claim to leadership, but it's not officially recognized as Roman Reigns holds the elder's favor as the rightful Tribal Chief.
The former Undisputed WWE Champion's return is crucial not only to reclaim the Ula Fala but also to assert his position as the true leader, reminding Solo that he remains the Enforcer. This angle will also prove how the title of the Tribal Chief still rightfully belongs to Reigns.
It remains to be seen how things will unfold in the forthcoming weeks as we move towards the generational return of Roman Reigns in the Stamford-based promotion.
