Since Roman Reigns lost his Undisputed WWE Title at WrestleMania XL against Cody Rhodes, a new man has come to power. Solo Sikoa declared himself the leader of Bloodline and started recruiting dangerous members into his group. He even attacked Paul Heyman for not acknowledging him as the Tribal Chief. In just a few months, the 31-year-old star has become one of the most hated superstars in WWE.

Seeing the destruction caused by Solo Sikoa and the other members of The Bloodline, fans constantly chanted for Roman Reigns to come back. He did return at the perfect time, during the match between his former Bloodline enforcer and Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam. The entire Cleveland arena was on its feet when his theme song hit.

Reigns delivered a Superman Punch and Speared Solo, ultimately helping The American Nightmare retain his world title. After destroying the new evil Bloodline leader, the former world champion officially became a “good guy” for the first time since his return in 2020. According to several sources, he was listed as a babyface on the internal roster.

After attacking his former ally, Reigns made one thing clear: he was and always will be the Tribal Chief. Now that he has returned, it will be interesting to see whether he makes the first move. Only time will tell whether he pursues the world title he lost at WrestleMania XL or focuses on solving the Bloodline problem.

Could fans witness The Bloodline Civil War in the near future?

With Roman Reigns’ emphatic return at SummerSlam, there is no doubt that he will take revenge for what Solo did to his Wiseman. However, he will also need some people on his side to fight the dangerous faction of the new Bloodline. If all the stars align, the WWE Universe could witness a war for supremacy between both groups.

Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso were integral parts of the original Bloodline until it fell apart after last year’s SummerSlam PLE. While Jey went to Raw and started to forget his past with The Bloodline, his brother was attacked by Solo and Tama Tonga. Meanwhile, the honorary Uce, Sami Zayn, left the faction and established himself as a main event singles star.

However, he lost his I.C. Title to Bron Breakker at SummerSlam, and The Yeet Master hasn’t been involved in any storylines since. They had a reunion and won a tag match against Finn Balor and JD McDonagh a few weeks ago. There is a high possibility of both of them joining Reigns, along with Jimmy when he eventually returns to fight against Solo’s Bloodline. Only time will tell how things will unfold in the coming weeks.
