Roman Reigns, a stalwart of professional wrestling, has left an indelible mark on the industry through a series of remarkable achievements and accolades. After his defeat at the hands of Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, Reigns has taken a prolonged hiatus. However, the WWE’s plans for his anticipated comeback are now coming to light.
During Reigns’ absence, Solo Sikoa has assumed leadership of The Bloodline, with Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa also aligning themselves with the faction. This shift in power has reportedly caused friction within the group, particularly with Paul Heyman struggling to adapt to Sikoa’s leadership style. Tensions have steadily risen in recent weeks, hinting at potential internal strife within the faction.
In an intriguing development, Hikuleo is poised to make his WWE debut and join The Bloodline ranks. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE seems to be setting the stage for a showdown between Reigns and Sikoa, possibly positioning Reigns as the protagonist in this unfolding narrative. Speculation swirls around the role of Paul Heyman, whose allegiances may shift as the storyline progresses. Questions also abound regarding how other key figures like Jimmy and Jey Uso, Hikuleo, and Jacob Fatu will influence the storyline’s trajectory.
The emergence of Tama Tonga as a prominent figure alongside Solo Sikoa suggests a potential clash with Jey Uso down the line. Meltzer’s analysis raises the prospect of Reigns versus Sikoa headlining a major WWE event, possibly culminating at WrestleMania or even SummerSlam, given the intricate buildup expected.
Furthermore, WWE’s trademark filing for “Talla Tonga,” likely to represent Hikuleo as Tama Tonga’s brother, hints at future rivalries and alliances involving the Tonga and Uso clans. Trios matches featuring these family-based factions could be on the horizon, adding layers to an already compelling storyline.
With Roman Reigns’ rumored return slated for July, fans eagerly await whether the Tribal Chief will embrace a heroic persona upon his comeback and potentially confront Solo Sikoa in a high-stakes rivalry.
