Roman Reigns has sent the internet into a frenzy ahead of the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown. Fans have been clamoring for Reigns' in-ring return for several weeks, with "We Want Roman" chants echoing through arenas. It seems that their wishes may soon be granted. The Tribal Chief recently unfollowed Solo Sikoa on Instagram, leading many fans to believe he will return soon.
Solo Sikoa is likely aware of this development and may be feeling insecure. He could take out his frustrations on The Wiseman, Paul Heyman, by punishing him on SmackDown. Heyman had declared that Solo was in charge of The Bloodline until Roman's return, so Solo might feel his authority slipping away over this new version of The Bloodline that he has been leading in Roman's absence.
Roman Reigns will undoubtedly be unhappy with how things have turned out so far. His cousin Jimmy Uso was previously kicked out of the group, and now the mistreatment of Paul Heyman would only add to his disappointment. Roman's return would be driven by a desire to regain control of The Bloodline and assert his dominance, showing Solo Sikoa who the real Tribal Chief is.
Solo Sikoa- the next challenger for the Undisputed WWE Championship?
A recent report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggests that Solo Sikoa is being positioned as the next challenger to Cody Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Championship. This direction was hinted at during Clash at the Castle.
After The American Nightmare defeated AJ Styles in a grueling 'I Quit' match, he celebrated on the ramp. At this moment, Solo Sikoa came out to confront Rhodes, and the Bloodline attacked him. Randy Orton and Kevin Owens then made their way out to save Rhodes.
This confrontation follows Solo Sikoa's earlier comment to Paul Heyman a few weeks ago that they already had Rhodes in check, possibly implying that Solo has been planning to target Rhodes for some time now. It will be interesting to see how this situation develops in the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown.
