SummerSlam witnessed the return of the ‘Original Tribal Chief’. In the climax of the blockbuster ‘Bloodline Rules’ match between Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns showed up to provide an assist to the American Nightmare. It was an unexpected turn of events even for the Undisputed Champion as he expressed his gratitude to the Head of the Table for the aid in the SummerSlam press conference.
Speaking of the return of Roman Reigns in the SummerSlam Post Show, the American Nightmare clearly admitted that he owes this victory to the Tribal Chief. He added that if he had not come out, perhaps the result would have been a lot different. In fact, Rhodes even expressed his happiness over the joy of the WWE Universe to see the much awaited return of the Needle Mover.
So he's certainly... I've got quite a list of people who I owe one, I might owe him more than one. And again, no love lost, that's as much of a shoot as it gets. There's a unique relationship I suppose. Haven't seen or spoken since WrestleMania.Cody Rhodes via SummerSlam Post Show
Moreover, it was a shocker even for the fans that Reigns helped Cody pick up a win. The two stars were in a heated feud until WrestleMania XL. As a matter of fact, Cody Rhodes was the man who dethroned the Tribal Chief as the Undisputed Champion. Therefore, the American Nightmare even addressed this situation at the conference and admitted having a unique bond with the Head of the Table.
Besides, Rhodes even revealed that he has not talked to the Needle Mover since WrestleMania. It is going to be interesting to see if the paths would ever cross between the two. Moving forward, Reigns might need some assistance dealing with the new Bloodline of Solo Sikoa. Therefore, there is a possibility of him reuniting the original Bloodline along with Rhodes to take down this crooked group of Samoans once and for all.
Creative idea for Roman Reigns upon his return
Roman Reigns came back to his ‘Island of Relevancy’ at SummerSlam. He destroyed Solo Sikoa, who was constantly heckling him in the past few weeks. The Tribal Chief came back with a goal to take down the Tribal Heir, and he did it. However, he even gave a stare to Cody Rhodes following the return. Now the question arises: what is going to be the direction of Reigns moving forward?

According to Wrestlevotes, the current pitch for the Head of the Table is to have an arc where he would be claiming to be the ‘Original Tribal Chief’ against the Enforcer. Moreover, this character will even build him as a babyface on SmackDown. This is profound with the support of the crowd, the Needle Mover has as of now.
Moreover, he will quarrel with the likes of Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga as well down the line. It will result in the reunion of the OG Bloodline alongside Paul Heyman and The Usos. In fact, there are some rumors that suggest the endgame of this rivalry would be Reigns going up against the Rock at WrestleMania.
