Will Paul Heyman force desperate Roman Reigns to reunite with 6-time WWE champion? Exploring plans for a potential reunion after 500+ days

The latest episode of WWE SmackDown saw Solo Sikoa reveal the newest member of The Bloodline, Jacob Fatu, during the show's closing moments. This has created a potential imbalance before Roman Reigns' return. To counter the numbers game, Paul Heyman could urge his Tribal Chief to reunite with Sami Zayn.

The Wiseman has openly expressed his disagreement with the new regime in The Bloodline, which has seen Sikoa direct the heel faction towards adopting a vicious role on SmackDown. Heyman has often described the new members of The Bloodline as rogues and criminals, taking it far beyond what Roman Reigns had created.

Fans believe Solo Sikoa's growing arrogance will eventually see The Big Dog make a huge return to reclaim his spot as The Head of The Table. It is expected that the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion will eventually reunite with Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso for a potential Civil War against Solo's Bloodline, but it would leave Sikoa with a numerical advantage.

This could see Reigns grow desperate against his successor, and he may be advised by Heyman to forgive an old friend, Sami Zayn. The former Honorary Uce was an integral part of The Bloodline and slowly earned everyone's trust within the heel faction, often taking the fall for them.

However, the six-time WWE champion (four-time Intercontinental Champion, one-time RAW Tag Team Champion, and one-time SmackDown Tag Team Champion) ultimately chose his best friend Kevin Owens over the Roman Reigns-led faction at Royal Rumble 2023, which led to him being brutally punished by The Bloodline.

A lot has happened since then, including Zayn and Owens' poetic title win against The Usos at WrestleMania. Sami and Jey became friends again on RAW, and the current IC Champion could be the key to restoring balance when the Roman Reigns-led faction locks horns with the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline.

Sami Zayn has worked effortlessly with The Usos and Roman Reigns in the past. He could reunite with the group for the first time since January 2023 upon making peace with the real Tribal Chief for a one-off occasion, giving fans a beautiful throwback to one of the most intriguing WWE storylines shown on television in recent times.

Jacob Fatu made a huge debut on WWE SmackDown and attacked Cody Rhodes

The main event of WWE SmackDown saw Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa lock horns in a singles match. The bout soon ended after Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa interfered and attacked The American Nightmare. Randy Orton and Kevin Owens soon rushed to Cody's aid and took out all members of The Bloodline.

Solo Sikoa was left alone inside the ring against the trio of Orton, Owens, and Rhodes. However, the new Tribal Chief started to smile, which led to the introduction of Jacob Fatu on WWE TV. The Samoan Werewolf launched a brutal attack to take out Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. He then sent Cody Rhodes through the announce desk with a Frog Splash off the top rope.

Jacob then hugged Solo Sikoa and held up the one sign to acknowledge his Tribal Chief, confirming his alliance with The Bloodline. Fans were impressed with WWE's booking of SmackDown, with many crediting it as one of the best shows in a while.
