Roman Reigns used to be the Undisputed leader of his Samoan family tree and single-handedly led it to the helm of the WWE Universe. The Bloodline without Roman Reigns was like getting blood from a stone once upon a time. But as the trajectory underwent major changes, alternative forces held their head high, demanding control over the faction. If Jimmy Uso was the trailblazer of this trend, Solo Sikoa came off as the ultimate torchbearer.
Amidst Reigns’ prolonged absence, the self-acclaimed Tribal Chief introduced Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa into the stable, paying zero heed to the Wise Man. With Roman Reigns’ return rumor wafting all over the place, it begs the question: Did the Big Dog approve of the newbie’s membership to the group? Let’s dig deeper.

Bloodline disappointed millions on WrestleMania Night 2, coming up short of stopping Cody Rhodes from his mission. Moving forward, the storyline expectedly lost traction but bounced back real quickly. Thanks to the creative for its pronto troubleshooting. In a breathtaking SmackDown episode, Solo Sikoa turned a total thug ousting Jimmy Uso out of faction with Tama Tonga by his side. Before audiences could process the shock, Sikoa took complete charge of Bloodline, bringing in Tanga Loa, Tonga’s brother during Backlash 2024. And we scratch our heads thinking about how Reigns would react to these developments. The former right-handed man took us to a different reality.
In a backstage segment on SmackDown, Sikoa sat with Heyman to chat candidly. In between the conversation, he reminded that Heyman hasn’t had a talk with Roman Reigns since WrestleMania (something Heyman himself admitted). To add further intrigue to it, Solo said he has spoken to Reigns and as per his theory, the Head of The Table himself put Solo Sikoa in charge of The Bloodline. He continued until Roman returned to the fold; he was asked to call the shots with Heyman being Solo Sikoa’s special counsel.
Does that mean Reigns already accepted Bloodline 2.0 under Solo Sikoa’s leadership? Well, given that’s just how Sikoa wanted the Universe to believe and there is no solid evidence, it’s safe to say that Reigns neither rejected nor accepted the Tangoan brothers at the table so far.
Roman Reigns will probably triumphantly return to a Bloodline civil war with The Usos by his side against Solo Sikoa and The Rock-led a new members squad. To get all the clarity, however, we need the main man on the board. Here’s the latest update you need to know on Roman Reigns’ much-awaited return.
When will Roman Reigns return?
Roman Reigns had a stupendous world title reign of 1300+ days before dropping it to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania Night 2 in April. While he ended his era with his head held high and with full grace, the limited WWE schedule prompted him to take a temporary time off again to recharge, rejuvenate, and re-advent. Given it’s already been two months since Reigns laced up his boots and the filming of his latest movie, Good Fortune has also wrapped up.

But it didn’t seem to be the case anymore. Alongside Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio, WWE revealed new promotional material for the SummerSlam Go Home edition of the blue brand and Roman Reigns has nowhere in the list. It can simply be an instance of Triple H keeping it close to his chest until the last moment or the company might have some other plan for the 39-year-old bigwig.
Whatever the case, Roman Reigns is coming to eat all of them, leaving no crumbs sooner or later. What’s your take on Roman Reigns’ possible take on new Bloodline members Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa? Let us know in the comments.
