One of the lead protagonists of WrestleMania 40, of the entire Road to Wrestlemania, and also of the last years of WWE, is certainly Roman Reigns. The Tribal Chief of the Bloodline, who during Night 2 ended his reign as undisputed champion of the federation after 1316 days.
After this, Cody Rhodes began a new era on Monday Night Raw. There, he was challenged for a future match by The Rock, who will now leave WWE to attend his commitments in Hollywood. But he will return sooner or later, as promised. In all this, nothing was known about Roman Reigns. When will he return, and what does he think of the new Bloodline that is being led by Solo Sikoa and other superstars? Well, according to renowned insiders of the sport, the Tribal Chief might undergo a change once he returns.

The Bloodline was in the process of being fleshed out and was clear even to the uninitiated. Since Reigns has been out of the picture ever since the fall of his kingdom in April, the group has been slowly rising from the ashes with the sole survivor of the Bloodline, Solo Sikoa. However, Sikoa has added his own members and has been doing things that the Tribal Chief won’t approve of. So what’s going to happen when Roman Reigns finally makes his return? Well, according to Denise Salcedo on the Fightful Wrestling Podcast, Reigns might turn babyface again.
“When you think about Roman Reigns. Roman reigns for so long, we have only been seeing a heel Roman Reigns. We haven’t seen a baby face Roman Reigns that is actually loved and wanted by the fans in such a very long time, if ever. And so, the fact that that’s incoming? I think that within itself lends to a lot of interest of like, ‘Okay. Well, what’s it gonna be like, and what’s gonna happen when he comes back with the blood line? And when are we gonna get The Rock again?'”
Notable victims of this reign of terror so far have been Jimmy Uso, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton. The duo made up of the latter suffered a crushing defeat at Backlash as Tanga Loa intervened and finally joined the new Bloodline. And so the group has reached three members who stand out imposingly. More violent and determined than ever. And now it seems like only the former Tribal Chief would be able to stop them.

In recent months, Ronda Rousey has been very active in criticizing WWE. This is mainly due to her discomfort with the company during her last stay. In which some situations arose that were not to her liking. And in her recently published book, “Our Fight,” Ronda Rousey revealed some interesting details about her time in WWE. The ex-MMA star mentioned that she was upset with WWE for not receiving the same privileges as superstars like Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, or even Logan Paul when it came to travel.
“My a*s is struggling, dragging a baby across the country. Trying to keep her happy for hours every week in the confines of a single airplane seat. All while Brock, Roman, and even Logan f**king Paul are being chartered around for their comfort. And no one f**king cares. All just to do mediocre work. I’m physically so goddamn tired, and mentally even more goddamn tired of this fu**ing bulls**t. I’m over it.” Despite the fact that Ronda Rousey had an important status within WWE, it was not on par with that of the main superstars. Something that, apparently, was not to her liking. It was one of the main reasons that led her to leave the company. What do you think? Does the WWE actually treat its major stars differently? Let us know in the comments.
