Roman Reigns' secret to be revealed; new faction in the works? 4 Directions for Solo Sikoa after missing WWE SmackDown

Solo Sikoa lost the Tribal Combat on WWE RAW’s Netflix premiere to Roman Reigns, following which he missed this week’s SmackDown. The self-proclaimed Tribal Chief was in hiding this week, and the members of his Bloodline wreaked havoc on WWE SmackDown. Jacob Fatu led from the front and ensured that Sikoa’s team was part of nearly every major segment of the show.

WWE seems to be keeping Sikoa’s Bloodline prominent on the show, and he is advertised to return on next week’s SmackDown.

With that in mind, check out the four directions for Solo Sikoa after missing WWE SmackDown this week.

#4. Acknowledges Roman Reigns as The Tribal Chief

Roman Reigns faced off against his former Enforcer on the Netflix premiere of RAW. The two men had a decent match but Solo Sikoa failed to capitalize on a few occasions.

In the end, The OTC won the contest to become the one true Tribal Chief. It was a big moment for Reigns and The Rock who joined him in the ring.

The upcoming episode of SmackDown could see Solo appear alone or with his team to acknowledge Roman Reigns as his Tribal Chief. He could then announce that he will work with his team separately from Reigns and continue as a heel to vent his frustration.

#3. Solo Sikoa could return to join the babyfaces

Cody Rhodes and Jimmy Uso were the only two men who could stand up to Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga this week. The latter two attacked several stars, including LA Knight before The American Nightmare challenged them to a tag team match.

Rhodes left Jimmy high and dry during the contest to settle his differences with Kevin Owens. Next week’s show could see Solo Sikoa come out to help Cody Rhodes and Jimmy Uso at a crucial moment during their brawl with Fatu and Tonga.

The angle would effectively turn Sikoa face and keep him part of the top card. He could continue to team with his brother Jimmy Uso to try to take down the villains that he created following Roman Reigns’ direct orders.

#2. Solo Sikoa could continue to work with his Bloodline as the pseudo-Tribal Chief

WWE will need to find a way to keep members of Bloodline 2.0 relevant on SmackDown after Solo Sikoa’s loss to Roman Reigns. One way to do that could include having the former Enforcer continue his delusional character.

Solo could continue to call himself the Tribal Chief on the blue brand, vowing to get back at Roman down the road. Jacob Fatu and the others could continue to work with him as part of the Bloodline so that WWE SmackDown continues to have a top heel faction.

Sikoa’s character could also help keep The Usos busy for some time, and the heels could secretly work with Reigns to undo Cody Rhodes before his potential WrestleMania 41 match against The OTC.

Roman Reigns worked extremely well as a heel. He could turn once again if he wins the 2025 Royal Rumble for his match against The American Nightmare. Having Solo Sikoa secretly work for him before the potential match would add even more layers to The Bloodline story.

#1. Form a new faction on WWE SmackDown

Many top stars have had problems with Roman Reigns and the OG Bloodline over the years. Drew McIntyre recently returned to hunt down members of the faction but suffered a setback on RAW’s Netflix premiere against Jey Uso.

Meanwhile, Kevin Owens also showed that he wants to get back at Reigns in any way possible. He attacked The OTC during the Tribal Combat but Solo Sikoa couldn’t take advantage of the situation.

The former Enforcer could return to WWE SmackDown to join Owens and McIntyre next week. The three men could work together to attack Cody Rhodes, The Usos, and Sami Zayn. It would be a supergroup that could give Roman Reigns a tough time in the coming months and also take away his Royal Rumble victory dreams.
