Roman Reigns got a taste of how the new Bloodline operates on SmackDown for the first time since returning at SummerSlam. Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga put The Original Tribal Chief through the announce table with a triple powerbomb. However, what he did after SmackDown went off-air will surprise some fans.
The 39-year-old Superstar did something unusual after the latest episode of SmackDown went off-air. After four years of being a heel, Roman Reigns is now finally listed as a babyface. As he slowly made his way backstage, he removed his OTC merchandise and gave it to a fan, signaling that he was now a babyface. Face superstars often interact with fans and take pictures during and after shows.
In the closing segment of last night’s show, the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief Solo Sikoa called out Reigns. He challenged the former world champion to take the Ula fala from him. Reigns didn’t hesitate and launched an attack on Solo. However, it was the returning Jacob Fatu who turned it all around for his Tribal Chief once again.
Solo, along with Fatu and Tama Tonga, launched an attack on the Original Tribal Chief and put him through the announce table. They executed the iconic triple powerbomb from the legendary faction The Shield and destroyed Reigns. After this episode, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the Bloodline Civil War is near. Only time will tell what transpires on the upcoming episodes of SmackDown.
Matt Riddle had to be kept away from Roman Reigns due to their real-life conflict
Former WWE Superstar Matt Riddle is known for his controversial comments about other superstars. One of those wrestlers was Roman Reigns, who was kept away from him for some reason. Recently, a former WWE employee, Matt Camp, revealed the reasons on his show.
On his show, The Wrestling Matt, Camp discussed keeping The Original Bro off the set until Reigns was completely gone. Camp stated that it ended up being the right call, as shortly after, Riddle claimed he could beat The Original Tribal Chief in a real-life fight. The 39-year-old veteran was angry about his statement, and the former U.S. Champion had to issue an apology later, with Randy Orton also advising him to do so.
Riddle was the in-studio guest, and we 100% did not put Riddle on the set until Roman was gone, off the video screen. Just not gonna mess with that. We 100% kept Riddle off the set until the Roman interview was done, which was the right call.Matt Camp via The Wrestling Matt
Matt Riddle was released from WWE in September of last year. He has competed in numerous different promotions since his release from the Stamford-based company. He is currently working in Major League Wrestling and enjoying his time there.
