Roman Reigns recorded his last appearance in the promotion at WrestleMania XL. The Bloodline has been falling apart since he went on a hiatus to focus on some personal projects, as per reports. However, the story that we are witnessing in development is pointing toward a possible face turn for The Tribal Chief and some of his former team members.
A pro wrestling insider believes this change won’t only affect Reigns but could extend up to Paul Heyman as well. So, if the Head of the Table leaves the faction, the legendary manager could follow in his footsteps.

Ever since Roman Reigns lost the WWE Undisputed Universal title, speculation has suggested that he would undergo a change of heart. The recent events surrounding The Bloodline could propel Reigns to turn babyface to redeem himself. Now, Dave Meltzer thinks that The Wiseman will also be exiled from the team. Or accompany Reigns willingly, also turning face in the process.
During a recent Wrestling Observer Radio episode, Meltzer claimed, “So I mean this whole thing is going on is Heyman and Roman are being turned baby-faced by the audience.” He further elaborated that fans have been chanting to bring back the superstar and displaying placards for the same.
This represents Reigns’ likability among the crowd, much like a babyface. Meltzer concluded his opinion by saying, “They make it very clear he’s coming back soon. So I figured that that’s probably in July.”
As of now, Reigns has begun shooting for the two Hollywood films that he will reportedly be a part of. However, Meltzer believes he may return to the promotion in July. If not at ‘Money In The Bank’ on July 6th, we could see him return at a following SmackDown episode. The Tribal Chief may have more than a few concerns as The Bloodline has resorted to drastic measures under new management.

But if it comes down to him facing the new barbaric leader of The Bloodline, what advantage would Solo Sikoa hold?
Solo Sikao could pull out an ace from his sleeve to kick out Reigns
By the time Roman Reigns returns to the promotion, Solo Sikoa would have prepared enough to face the former champion. However, he might not need to face him in the ring for the first time. Instead, podcasters at Busted Open believe that The Enforcer of The Bloodline will have plenty of video proof for what he has done for the heel stable.

This can work in Sikoa’s favor to discredit the faction leader’s role and gain authority for himself. Consequently, as Dave Meltzer believes, we may see Paul Heyman loyally following Roman Reigns out of the faction.
Do you think Heyman will leave the stable with Reigns if it comes to that? Or would he stay behind?
