When will Roman Reigns return? There are a lot of speculations but no answers. People want to see what the promotion has next for him. A clash with the new Bloodline? Fans would be flocking to watch something like this. Post his loss to Cody Rhodes and a hiatus, he handed over the reins of the stable to Solo Sikoa. Now Sikoa made several changes to the stable and even attacked Paul Heyman- The Tribal Chief’s most loyal follower.
This will potentially cause a clash between both sides and, according to the civil war theory, when The Tribal Chief returns to take back control from The Bloodline, he would need new teammates to even the odds. Who will be a part of his team?

The Head of the Table will most likely find himself alone when he returns to the promotion to confront Solo Sikoa for his atrocities. Since the new Bloodline team outnumbers him, Reigns could face the ire of the heel faction. Hence, he is expected to team up and form another version of the Anoa’i family stable to take on those who betrayed him.
Dave Meltzer opined on the Wrestling Observer Radio, “Roman and Paul Heyman will be together and then you got Jimmy Uso, and then you’ve got the whole thing of trying to get Jey back, you know, and they can do a big long story.” Co-host Bryan Alvarez chimed in by saying, “And then you’ve got The Rock.”
Jey Uso had already become a babyface when he left The Bloodline last year. Paul Heyman had a change of heart when Solo Sikoa showed how unhinged he was. Now, Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso are also left to be converted into babyfaces. The latter’s return is also seemingly close now and he would certainly be looking to exact vengeance considering the beatdown he received at the hands of Sikoa & Co. But what about The Rock?
Dwayne Johnson may not turn with them as fans like him better as a heel. Rumors have also suggested that Johnson could emerge as the key figure responsible for manipulating Solo Sikoa to make him do his bidding. If this turns out to be true, it would only add more fuel to the fire. This could also grant the WWE Universe their dream match of Roman Reigns vs The Rock down the line.
This booking makes Reigns’ team have a total of three members. Considering that the opposition has Tama Tonga, Sikoa, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu in the ranks, they would need one more member to even the odds. Who else could join him to even the odds?

Sami Zayn had joined The Bloodline as an honorary Uce. The current Intercontinental champion was faithful to the stable until they revealed their true vicious nature. Following some events, the Canadian-born wrestler eventually found himself standing against the former WWE Undisputed Universal Champion and the rest of the team. Remember WWE Royal Rumble where he faced The Tribal Chief’ at the Elimination Chamber?
Reigns defeated Zayn, and even though the crowd booed him, he didn’t care. Well now, the latter has been tipped to return to the faction yet again, but this time, to help them become better. During a podcast episode, former WWE figure Jim Cornette discussed the possibility of Sami Zayn being the ‘fourth member’ of Roman Reigns’ new babyface team.
This would fit right in because he is already a babyface. The original Bloodline members have shared a history, and his presence will even the odds on the battlefield.
