In his first match in six months, Roman Reigns teamed up with Cody Rhodes to take on Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at Bad Blood. It was a crazy match, where The Original Tribal eventually pinned the leader of The Bloodline, thanks to some help from a returning Jimmy Uso.

Roman Reigns will be on SmackDown tonight to address The Rock's return, who showed up in the final moments of Bad Blood and stared down at both Reigns and Rhodes. At the same time, The Bloodline member Solo Sikoa could eventually 'acknowledge' The Original Tribal Chief following his loss at Bad Blood.

Back in mid-August, when Roman Reigns returned to WWE, Solo told Tama Tonga that if the former Universal Champion beat him in a match, he would 'acknowledge' him. And this is exactly what happened at Bad Blood, where Reigns pinned Sikoa to claim the victory.

At the same time, it could hint at Solo turning face and reuniting with Reigns and Jimmy Uso. This could happen only if The Rock takes over Bloodline 2.0 and forces Jacob Fatu to turn on Solo Sikoa and kick him out of the faction.

Dominik Mysterio made an outrageous comment recently. More details HERE

What is next for Roman Reigns after Bad Blood?

The Original Tribal Chief is not expected to work the upcoming Crown Jewel Premium Live Event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 2, but his appearances on SmackDown will allow him to build up the potential Bloodline Civil War at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 30.

Roman Reigns will collide with Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline, and the question is whether The Rock will work the event, making it Team Roman vs. Team Rock at Survivor Series.

It is also unknown if fans will see The Original Bloodline reunite, as Sami Zayn and Jey Uso will need to move to SmackDown and join Reigns.

In addition, The Rock's return as a heel made it clear that WWE plans to have a match between the two megastars at some point in the future. The likely scenario is that Reigns and The Rock will square off at WrestleMania 42 in 2026, while this next year, there could be a Triple Threat Match featuring Cody Rhodes.
