Backstage Latest On WWE's Plans For Roman Reigns
WWE has some blockbuster plans in mind for Roman Reigns, as expected.
WrestleVotes is reporting that there's a good chance Roman Reigns will declare himself "the original Tribal Chief' once he returns to WWE TV. That's just one of the ideas being chewed on for the soon-to-be comeback king.
It seems like the most likely (and most logical) plan.
Solo Sikoa has seized control of family business during Roman's time off post-WrestleMania 40, and has since began referring to himself as the new 'Tribal Chief' on episodes of SmackDown. Solo's reworked Bloodline, which has grown to include Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu, also assaulted Paul Heyman, which shouldn't sit well with Reigns either.
Things are expected to reach boiling point at SummerSlam this weekend. There, Sikoa challenges Cody Rhodes for the WWE Title in a 'Bloodline Rules' match. That stipulation opens the door for Roman's run-in. If that happens, then expect a monster pop from fans in Cleveland.
Creative does have another key decision to make. Will Roman try to bring The Bloodline under one banner, or is there a civil war incoming? You probably already know the answer to that. A Reigns babyface run awaits, and it's going to be pretty special.
