Roman Reigns made a smashing return to WWE TV at SummerSlam 2024. He entered the ring and demolished Solo Sikoa with a Superman Punch and a Spear, and exited the ring. Cody Rhodes looked shocked as the Original Tribal Chief didn't lay a finger on him.

On the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Reigns briefly got his hands on the Ula Fala before Sikoa's goons managed to snatch it away. Following that, Reigns destroyed Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa with Superman Punches, Spears, and a steel chair. On the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown, the Original Tribal Chief might finally be able to get Solo Sikoa alone in the ring with all other Bloodline members suffering from injuries.

Unfortunately, the next blue show on August 16th, 2024, might be the last one on which the former Undisputed WWE Champion will make an appearance. The Stamford-based company has advertised his next appearance for mid-September and could write him off after this week's SmackDown.

Roman Reigns making continuous appearances might take away from building the story between Sikoa and Reigns as the latter has a bigger command over the WWE Universe. Hence, keeping Reigns off for a couple of episodes can help retain his aura.

Additionally, it gives WWE some time to bring together Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso before the twins can reunite with the Original Tribal Chief.


Jey Uso reacted to Roman Reigns' WWE return

Jey Uso split from The Bloodline in 2023 and battled Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2023. Following that, he moved to WWE RAW and worked on his singles journey. Currently, he is one of the top babyfaces of the red brand.

Fans are expecting Roman Reigns and Jey Uso to reunite soon and use their combined power to take down Solo Sikoa's ruthless Bloodline. During an interview with Sports Illustrated, Main Event Jey commented on Reigns' return:

“There is no one better. He makes it look so easy. I look up to him. He’s got this art form down.”

Currently, it's unknown if Jey Uso and Roman Reigns will reunite or not. However, The Bloodline's next Civil War will most likely be between the babyfaces and the heels of the faction, and this battle needs Jey Uso!
