The Bloodline without Roman Reigns will stop at nothing when they set their eyes on something. They have made it evident through various segments and promos. While The Tribal Chief wasn’t an angel either, his presence didn’t let the stable members become barbaric, as they have turned out to be now. This is also what kind of predicts Reigns’ future.
Contrastingly to what Solo Sikoa said on Friday Night SmackDown on 06/21, Roman Reigns will eventually come back to the promotion. And when he does, fans speculate that he will become a babyface and there is already a hidden hint.

On SmackDown 06/28, viewers saw The Bloodline assaulting Paul Heyman during the final segment and power-bombing him through the announcer’s table to finish things off because he did not want to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his tribal chief. This level of brutality suggests that the faction members might go to any possible lengths to maintain their dominance.
Chris Van Vliet said on his podcast ‘Insight’, “That is The Bloodline 2.0. That is the mega heels that they are after already power-bombing Paul Heyman through the announced table. Now Paul Heyman’s a babyface, which means when Roman Reigns comes back, he is inevitably going to be a babyface.”
What’s your perspective on:
Is Roman Reigns' character change the shakeup WWE desperately needs right now?
Have an interesting take?
CVV believes that since Paul Heyman appears to have turned babyface, so will Roman Reigns after looking at his loyalty and where it got him. This is something that podcasters have been predicting for a long time now. Now, it appears that Paul Heyman will not only determine Reigns’ character moving forward, but also his WWE return timeline.

Roman Reigns’ return may be linked to Paul Heyman
The Bloodline shook the entire fanbase when it attacked The Wiseman for being loyal to the former Head of the Table. His test for loyalty did not come without a price as he has now been put out of action for several weeks before he’ll be able to work again. He seemingly turned babyface before the brutal beatdown and so will Roman Reigns upon seeing him in such a condition. Moreover, it wouldn’t make much sense for the Samoan wrestler to show up in the Stamford-based company again unless the infamous manager is returning too.
One of the podcasters on the Busted Open Podcast claimed that it is important for WWE to make Roman Reigns return alongside Paul Heyman so that both of them get a big babyface pop among the fanbase. This will launch the storyline way ahead, giving it the headstart needed to gain fans’ undivided attention. Since Paul Heyman may be recovering currently, it wouldn’t be a surprise if this twist doesn’t happen until after SummerSlam.
