Fans defy Solo Sikoa; Roman Reigns chants heard on SmackDown

Fans defied Solo Sikoa during SmackDown. They chanted for Roman Reigns during Solo's backstage segment tonight.

Since his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL, Roman Reigns has been absent from WWE television. Instead, Solo Sikoa took charge of the Bloodling and called himself the Tribal Chief. He kicked Jimmy Uso out and added Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu to the group.

With the addition of these new stars, the Bloodline has looked more dangerous than ever. However, the fans are not on their side and have been clamoring for the real Head of the Table to return. Tonight on SmackDown, Paul Heyman, who has been upset over recent developments, asked Solo to listen to him as the Wiseman.

Solo Sikoa then informed Paul that he had taken his advice and Jacob Fatu wasn't there. He then told Heyman that he was his wiseman and walked away. After he walked away, the fans in attendance defied him and chanted, "We want Roman," indicating how much they want Reigns to return and confront Solo Sikoa.

The Bloodline is set to participate in an Acknowledgment Ceremony later at night. However, it remains to be seen whether there will be any interruptions during the segment.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
