Roman Reigns has appointed Solo Sikoa as the Tribal heir. The Tribal Chief said the Enforcer was next in line to succeed him on WWE SmackDown tonight. But why did Reigns choose Solo to succeed him on the Island of Relevancy?
Reigns entrusts Solo to do his dirty work all the time. During his promo this week, he explicitly stated that the Enforcer gets the job done. Solo has repeatedly proven that he’s the right man for the job. He even seemingly retired John Cena, the only man who’s been a constant thorn in The Bloodline’s side for the past 20 years, at Crown Jewel 2023. Plus, he’s under the direct influence of Paul Heyman.
It is possible the Wise Man could have asked Roman Reigns to choose Solo Sikoa as the Tribal heir. Heyman has been in Reigns’ ears since 2020. He knows all of his insecurities. Also, with Jey no longer in The Bloodline and Jimmy acting foolish week in and out, Heyman might have pitched Solo as the best possible candidate to lead the Island of Relevancy after the Tribal Chief.

After all, Randy Orton, LA Knight, and AJ Styles are just three of the many stars looking for payback against Roman Reigns.
