Roman Reigns is back in WWE, and he’s back with a vengeance. Having had The Bloodline and the title of Tribal Chief taken from him, Reigns has his sights set on his former Enforcer, Solo Sikoa. With that in mind, there are high expectations as the Original Tribal Chief is scheduled to make an appearance on this week’s SmackDown. But, could he get right to the point and challenge Sikoa to a match?
The answer to that question is probably a ‘Yes’, but unfortunately for Roman Reigns, the 31-year-old is unlikely to accept. Considering he has everything he has ever wanted, at least in his eyes, Solo Sikoa could just brush off Reigns’ challenge. Instead, he will look to exact revenge for the disrespect he suffered at SummerSlam, by having the Tongans attack his cousin.
Seeing as Roman Reigns is only advertised for this week’s episode of SmackDown, and with no other further appearances being announced, this would be a good way to write him off for the short term. The attack would put him out of action long enough so that he cannot appear at Bash in Berlin. But, he will be back just in time to challenge The Street Champion once again, this time, at Bad Blood.

Sikoa versus Reigns at Bad Blood just feels right. After all, there literally is ‘bad blood’ between them now. But, this is just speculation, and the WWE Universe will have to wait for tonight, to find out what the OTC’s plans are.
Nick Aldis was considering Roman Reigns for a title shot at Bash in Berlin
Roman Reigns’ return has completely shifted the dynamic over on SmackDown. While Cody Rhodes remains ‘the guy’, there is no doubt that Reigns is close behind him. With that in mind, Nick Aldis initially planned on having the Original Tribal Chief challenge The American Nightmare at Bash in Berlin.
Now, the champion, Cody Rhodes had his own ideas and was intent on giving his good friend, Kevin Owens a title shot. However, initially, The Prizefighter wasn’t willing to accept, and in some ways, is still hesitant. But, upon hearing Aldis’ plans, he strongly protested, changing the SmackDown GM’s mind and making the match between him and Rhodes official.
Kevin Owens versus Cody Rhodes is sure to be a banger. But, it’s safe to say that the OTC will have the Undisputed WWE Championship on his mind. And, as soon as he’s done with Sikoa, regaining the title might be next on his agenda.
