For over 1,300 days, Roman Reigns held the WWE Universal Championship, but his reign ended at WrestleMania XL against Cody Rhodes. His last appearance, for now, was at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
News surfaced that Reigns, aka Joe Anoa’i, secured a role in the film “Good Fortune” alongside Keanu Reeves. Though his return timing remains unknown, WWE subtly hinted at it by including him in the draft pool.
This week, Friday Night SmackDown kicks off the draft, with Reigns listed despite his absence. While some inactive stars like Charlotte Flair were excluded, Reigns’ inclusion raised eyebrows, especially with his prior declaration that he only wants to compete if he’s on top.
The anticipation grows for Reigns’ potential return, especially considering his dramatic exit. Will the live audience in Cincinnati welcome him back with open arms?
Amid Reigns’ absence, Solo Sikoa has stepped up within The Bloodline, particularly after Jimmy Uso’s recent struggles.
After Jimmy’s loss to Jey Uso, Sikoa took decisive action, leading to Tama Tonga’s debut and their alliance.
The Bloodline seems to be expanding with reports of Jacob Fatu joining WWE soon, potentially in time for the draft. With Solo Sikoa’s assertive leadership and the group’s evolving dynamics, the question remains: how will Reigns fit back into the fold?
