Moments before Solo Sikoa was set to wrestle against Cody Rhodes in the main event of SmackDown, The Enforcer made a shocking revelation that Roman Reigns is not returning to the Stamford-based promotion.

This unexpected statement came when Paul Heyman tried to convince Sikoa that his actions were against the commands of The Tribal Chief. In response, Sikoa stated that he loves The Wiseman but wanted to inform him that Roman Reigns is not coming back.

This declaration has left many fans confused, speculating about the reasons behind Reigns' absence. In this article, we will discuss the ramifications of Solo Sikoa's statements regarding Reigns not coming back.

#3. Solo Sikoa could be in cahoots with The Rock to stop Roman Reigns from returning

One of the reasons why The Tribal Chief might not be coming back to WWE could be due to Solo Sikoa being allied with The Rock to prevent Reigns from making his return. Since the formation of Solo's version of The Bloodline, many fans have speculated that The People's Champion is the real mastermind behind this faction.

Additionally, as The Rock is a member of the Board of Directors, it's plausible that The Enforcer could be collaborating with him to stop Roman Reigns from making his anticipated return.

The motive behind preventing Reigns from returning could be Solo's ambition to assume the official position of Tribal Chief within the company. Additionally, since Reigns lost at WrestleMania XL, Solo, and The Rock might no longer consider him pertinent to The Bloodline family.


#2. Roman Reigns elders might doesn't want him to return

Since Reigns returned at SummerSlam 2020 as The Tribal Chief, he has consistently followed the orders of his elders. Even at Hell in a Cell 2020, the elders of The Bloodline appeared on WWE television to officiate the Ula Fala tradition for Roman.

Another reason behind the Head of the Table not making his return could be that his family or elders do not want him to return to the Stamford-based promotion. It's also likely that Solo Sikoa might be the driving force behind this decision, convincing the elders that Roman's loss at WrestleMania XL tarnished the reputation of the Samoans.

This could have led the elders of The Bloodline to stop Roman Reigns from returning to WWE.


#1. Solo might be talking about Bloodline only or simply lying

Solo Sikoa's statement about The Tribal Chief is somewhat ambiguous, as the Enforcer's statement may refer to Roman not returning to The Bloodline, rather than stepping away from WWE entirely.

If that’s the case, when the former Undisputed Champion makes his return, Solo might prevent him from rejoining The Bloodline. He could even pressure Nick Aldis to bar Reigns from appearing on the SmackDown brand.

Besides this, it's highly conceivable that Solo is simply lying to the Special Counsel, as he has done in the past. This means Roman is likely returning to WWE, but Solo is trying to make Heyman believe he isn't so that The Wiseman follows Solo's commands.
