The next saga in The Bloodline's story

At WWE SummerSlam 2023, another significant chapter in the Samoan family's story is set to unfold. The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion is reportedly set to face Jey Uso in a title bout. This match will also bring their journey full circle, showcasing the whole Bloodline Saga.

In addition to the championship bout, there is speculation that Solo Sikoa could also wrestle at the Biggest Party of the Summer. The most likely opponent for the Enforcer will be Jimmy Uso. This match would provide Jimmy with a chance to seek revenge against his own sibling for the brutal assault he recently suffered on SmackDown.

Jey Uso has already challenged Roman Reigns for SummerSlam 2023

Furthermore, if Rikishi decided to make a return to the company, SummerSlam would be an ideal setting for his comeback. With Jey Uso engaged in a title match, Rikishi could potentially play a pivotal role in costing The Tribal Chief his Undisputed Championship.

Overall, SummerSlam 2023 is shaping up to be a pivotal event for the Samoan Saga. It will not only determine the immediate future of The Usos and Roman Reigns but also set the stage for their future feuds in the company.
