Tribal Chief return update, new orders & more - 3 ways Roman Reigns' presence can be felt on WWE SmackDown tonight

Tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown promises to be a major edition, particularly with the King and Queen of the Ring tournament in full swing. For those unaware, tonight's show will feature KOTR quarterfinal matches, where LA Knight will clash with Tama Tonga, and Randy Orton will face Carmelo Hayes.

Additionally, there is a possibility that WWE might find a way to make Roman Reigns' presence felt on tonight's SmackDown. This assumption stems from recent episodes of the blue brand, where references to Reigns have been made in The Bloodline saga despite his hiatus from the company.

On this note, let's discuss three ways The Tribal Chief could make his presence felt on WWE SmackDown tonight:

#3. Paul Heyman might have a conversation with Roman Reigns regarding Solo Sikoa

Last week on SmackDown, Solo Sikoa disclosed to Paul Heyman that he had a conversation with Roman Reigns and that, as a result, he would be in charge until the Tribal Chief's return to the blue brand. However, on tonight's episode of Friday Night SmackDown, it is possible that The Wiseman could reveal that he had a conversation with Reigns following Sikoa's statement last week.

In this segment, the WWE Hall of Famer could confirm that Solo was lying and was only self-claiming to be authorized by Roman to be in charge during his absence.

A segment like this would make the former Undisputed Champion's presence felt, besides adding another twist to the ongoing Bloodline saga.

#2. Solo Sikoa could reveal new orders from Roman Reigns

When Paul Heyman claimed last week that he is only the Special Counsel for The Tribal Chief, not Solo Sikoa, The Enforcer asserted that he was in charge. With this newfound authority, it's possible that the Tribal Heir could disclose some new orders for The Wiseman.

Sikoa might state that these orders are directly from The Tribal Chief, making it mandatory for Heyman to follow them. However, The Enforcer might be maliciously lying, fabricating these orders while using Reigns' name to pressure the Hall of Famer into compliance.

#1. Paul Heyman might have a message for The WWE Universe on Roman's behalf on SmackDown

Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of Roman Reigns to the Stamford-based promotion. Another way to make Reigns' presence felt on tonight's show is through Paul Heyman, who could deliver a message on behalf of The Tribal Chief.

The Wiseman could provide an update regarding Reigns' comeback, which would generate massive post-show buzz among fans. Additionally, this announcement might come as a major shock to Solo Sikoa and his new version of The Bloodline.
