Roman Reigns has ignited a war against Solo Sikoa and the Bloodline faction. The original Tribal Chief brutalized the new version of the Bloodline, asserting his dominance as the true leader. However, as tensions in this family drama escalate, there is an assumption that Rikishi might make a surprise appearance on Friday Night SmackDown to betray Roman Reigns.

Rikishi has deep ties to the Bloodline as a member of the Samoan dynasty because his sons have been central to this storyline from the beginning. Now that Roman is positioned as a babyface, if he brings Rikishi to WWE to resolve the family's internal conflict, it's possible that the WWE legend could turn on the Original Tribal Chief. Instead of The OTC, Rikishi could align himself with his son Solo Sikoa in this escalating war.

Rikishi might see Solo as the rightful heir to the Tribal Chief title, given that Roman lost his Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania XL and even cost Solo a potential title at SummerSlam 2024. These factors could motivate Rikishi to betray Reigns upon his arrival on Friday Night SmackDown.

It's worth noting that Rikishi had previously declined a role as a Wiseman in WWE but has expressed interest in being part of the Bloodline Saga. A one-time appearance could be an exciting way to involve him in this family drama, with his betrayal of Roman Reigns adding a shocking twist to the storyline.

It remains to be seen how these events will unfold in the coming months and whether the WWE legend will soon become part of the Bloodline Saga.


Why WWE legend betraying Roman Reigns could be a great move to make?

If Rikishi decides to betray the Original Tribal Chief, it could be a strategic move for WWE to generate a stronger reaction for Reigns as a babyface star. The betrayal by such a legendary member of the Bloodline would underscore how a single loss at WrestleMania XL eroded trust and support within his family.

Rikishi’s betrayal could also pave the way for the reunion of the original Bloodline. The WWE legend's sons, The Usos, might support the former Universal Champion by asserting that their father made a grave mistake. To rectify this error and restore their family's honor, Jey and Jimmy Uso could reunite with Roman Reigns to take down Solo Sikoa and his faction.

It will be intriguing to see what WWE has in store for fans as the Bloodline Saga enters a new chapter with the ongoing war between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.
