The New Tribal Leader Has a Bigger Problem Than Roman Reigns’ Return
Roman Reigns is back in WWE, and that’s very bad news for the new tribal leader, Solo Sikoa. The OTC Championship has already denied him a chance to win the WWE Championship at SummerSlam, in what could be the start of a civil war between the tribes.
What’s even more disturbing for Solo is that Jacob Fatu appeared to be injured when he interfered during the SummerSlam main event. Fatu was seen wearing a walking boot afterwards, and we don’t really know how this injury might affect his availability going forward.
Jacob is the wild card that has allowed Bloodline to thrive since their debut in June. If he’s off the battlefield for an extended period of time, not only will Roman Reigns not be able to overcome this new iteration of Bloodline, but the group will have a tough time fighting other faces like Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, and Cody Rhodes. If that’s the scenario that Sikoa faces, he may need to add a new member to Bloodline as soon as possible, such as Tala Tonga.
Depending on the news regarding Jacob’s health, WWE may also have to make a decision regarding WWE Tag Team ChampionshipFatu and Tama Tonga returned these belts to The Bloodline just a week ago, but their reign could already be in jeopardy if Fatu is unable to compete.
What is happening with Jacob Fatu’s health? We should find out the answer to that question on tonight’s episode of SmackDown.
Rest of tonight’s card
Roman Reigns returns to SmackDown for the first time since preparing for WrestleMania 40. There’s plenty of topics the original Tribal Chief could address when he takes up the microphone tonight.
Is he planning to go to war with Solo Sikoa’s version of The Bloodline as soon as possible? If so, will he bring back Jimmy Uso to fight alongside him? Is Roman more focused on reclaiming the big prize in the business than Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes? Does he have an update on Paul Heyman? Will he make a reference to The Final Boss? How will Reigns react to the warm reception from the live crowd in Tulsa?
