Roman Reigns will be feeling frustrated right about now. Having suffered humiliation on last week’s SmackDown, the Original Tribal Chief will want to relieve some stress. And what better way to do that than by dishing out some punishment in the squared circle?
Now, given his current status, there aren’t too many stars who are scared of Roman Reigns. Nevertheless, he isn’t one to back down and will likely continue to lash out. As has been the case in the last few months, the said punishment will likely be aimed at The Bloodline.
Whether old or new members, no one is safe right now, and let’s not forget that this is Roman Reigns we’re talking about. He may not hesitate when it comes to, in his mind, “righting wrongs!” That being said, here are three Bloodline members who can fall prey to him on this week’s SmackDown:
#3. Jimmy Uso could be punished for disobeying the Original Tribal Chief
Although unlikely, Jimmy Uso is the first name on this list. It’s true that Jimmy is Roman Reigns’ only ally, but that may change given his actions on RAW. Despite The OTC making it clear to Jimmy that he does not want to make up with Jey Uso, the tag-team specialist went over to the red brand and tried to smooth things over.
Having not completely come over to the good side, Reigns may view this as dissent. Not one to take dissent lying down, the Original Tribal Chief may choose to follow the old ways and punish Jimmy for his actions. But as mentioned earlier, this is the least likely possibility.
#2. The Tongans have been a nuisance for quite a while
There have been plenty of times when Roman Reigns has had Solo Sikoa on the ropes. Most notably, when he first returned to SmackDown after SummerSlam and recently at Bad Blood. However, every time, what has cost him from exacting his revenge are the Tongan brothers, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
The Tongans joined Sikoa’s Bloodline earlier this year. They’ve been by their Tribal Chief’s side from the start. Not wanting to ask for help and looking to take matters into his own hands, The OTC could strategically start by taking them out, sending The Street Champion a message.
#1. Roman Reigns could get his hands on Solo Sikoa
Many would expect Jacob Fatu to finish this list, but let’s be honest, he seems nigh unstoppable. That is why Roman Reigns may choose to leave The Samoan Werewolf alone for now. He could instead anger the 32-year-old by targeting the latter’s Tribal Chief, Solo Sikoa. It could even prove to be an interesting strategy from Reigns.
As mentioned earlier, he is short on allies. By taking out Sikoa, Reigns could technically show The Samoan Werewolf that the grass is green on the other side and coax him to leave The Street Champion. But to do that, he must be successful in exacting revenge on his former Enforcer.
