Sami Zayn experienced a major setback at SummerSlam 2024 when Bron Breakker defeated him to become the new Intercontinental Champion. Despite having previously bested Breakker at Money in the Bank 2024, Zayn could not replicate his success at the Biggest Party of the Summer.
With Sami no longer holding the IC title, a prominent question arises: Could Sami Zayn become the Honorary Uce once again in WWE?
The WWE Universe has expressed a strong desire to see Sami return to his Honorary Uce role. This sentiment is evident from the comments on WWE's Instagram post featuring Zayn's backstage disappointment after his loss. Fans flooded the comment section, suggesting that Zayn should resume his Honorary Uce persona and support the Original Tribal Chief.

Roman Reigns' return at SummerSlam, marked by his attack on Solo Sikoa, signals the beginning of a new feud between Reigns and Sikoa, advancing the Bloodline Saga. To address the threat posed by Solo’s faction, Reigns will need additional allies.
While a reunion with Jimmy and Jey Uso is anticipated, Roman may still face a numbers disadvantage. Bringing back Sami Zayn as the Honorary Uce could address this imbalance and enhance the drama within the Bloodline storyline.
With Zayn's IC title loss adding weight to this possibility, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming weeks and how the Bloodline narrative will evolve on Friday Night SmackDown.
There is only one reason why WWE might not consider Sami Zayn's return as Honorary Uce again
The idea of Sami Zayn returning as the Honorary Uce is certainly appealing to fans following Roman Reigns's comeback. However, there is one key reason why WWE might not consider reinstating Zayn in this role: he has no blood relation to the Bloodline or the Samoan family.
The Bloodline Saga has increasingly focused on the Tribal Chief position, with both Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns asserting themselves as the Tribal Chief. Recently, the saga has expanded to include Jacob Fatu, with potential additions like Hikuleo and Zilla Fatu anticipated.
This shift indicates that WWE aims to keep the Bloodline storyline centered around blood relations and connections to the Samoan family, which Sami Zayn does not possess.
Nevertheless, the unfolding narrative between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa will likely provide further clarity on whether Zayn could have a role in the Bloodline Saga as the Honorary Uce. If this happens, the WWE Universe will surely get the nostalgic vibe of the Original Bloodline.
