The year 2024 has been a resurgent one for WWE, with the product becoming edgier under the Paul Levesque Era. However, the injury bug has caused some storylines to be delayed. With that being said, WWE could pull out all the stops this fall to make 2024 one of the most successful years in the promotion’s history. Here are three potential swerves that could happen later this year.
Firstly, Roman Reigns could return and fire Solo Sikoa from The Bloodline. The Bloodline storyline has taken an unexpected turn since Roman Reigns lost his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania XL. Solo Sikoa has assumed full control of the faction, replacing Jimmy Uso with Tama Tonga and later recruiting Tonga Loa. It appears that a certain someone is pulling the strings of Sikoa, and it’s not Reigns. The summer of 2024 could kickstart another Bloodline civil war, with The Tribal Chief coming back to reclaim his throne.
Secondly, Randy Orton could quit SmackDown and move back to RAW. Orton has been out of action since losing to Gunther in the King of the Ring finals. If deemed fit, Orton could confront Nick Aldis and inform him that he’s leaving SmackDown to move back to RAW to settle the score with Gunther. A trilogy with someone of Orton’s stature would solidify Gunther’s title reign.
Lastly, Seth Rollins could return as a heel to challenge WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes. Rollins lived up to his words when he said he would be Cody Rhodes’ shield in his war against The Bloodline. A heel turn for The Architect could help him reinvent himself and end his winless drought against The American Nightmare.
With these potential swerves, WWE could make 2024 one of the most successful years in the promotion’s history. The company should consider these swerves to keep the audience engaged and excited for what’s to come. After all, every cloud has a silver lining, and the injury bug has given WWE an opportunity to pull out all the stops and create memorable moments for the fans.
