Roman Reigns is rumored to battle The Rock or Cody Rhodes at WWE WrestleMania 41. However, wrestling analyst Sam Roberts suggested the Original Tribal Chief could go head-to-head with another superstar at The Show of Shows in Las Vegas following a potential betrayal.
After struggling to find a fifth member for the upcoming Men's WarGames Match, Paul Heyman returned on last week's SmackDown after five months of absence to save the OG Bloodline, introducing CM Punk as the final addition to Team Roman. However, The Wiseman's outfit led many to speculate that he could betray the Original Tribal Chief and side with Solo Sikoa, as the 59-year-old dressed similarly to how The Street Champion used to dress after he took over The Bloodline earlier this year.
While Roberts acknowledged on his Notsam Wrestling podcast that Heyman could betray Reigns for Sikoa, the 41-year-old pointed out that the potential betrayal could lead to the OTC facing his former Enforcer at the 2025 Royal Rumble and Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania 41.
"If Paul Heyman were to align with the new Bloodline, I don't think you would even have to question if a Roman Reigns [vs.] Solo Sikoa match could headline a major pay-per-view [PLE], be it at Saturday Night's Main Event [sic], a Royal Rumble, or even a WrestleMania," he said.
The RAW Talk host added:
"Or if a Solo Sikoa [vs.] Roman Reigns match could headline a Royal Rumble, a Jacob Fatu [vs.] Roman Reigns match could headline a WrestleMania. If Paul Heyman is on that team, and that betrayal is taking place, I don't think that's to be questioned." [27:20-27:54]
Sam Roberts thinks Roman Reigns can also face a top WWE star after Survivor Series: WarGames
After taking out the new Bloodline at the end of WWE SmackDown last Friday, Roman Reigns and CM Punk had a brief face-off. While the two WWE Superstars will join forces this Saturday at Survivor Series: WarGames, Sam Roberts claimed their alliance would not last long.
On a previous edition of his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Roberts suggested the company was planting seeds for a future encounter between the Original Tribal Chief and The Best in The World by having them on the same team.
"The idea that we're gonna see Roman Reigns and CM Punk on the same team, which only plants seeds for a future match between Roman Reigns and CM Punk, is so, like, the minute you see those guys together and realize that it's all right there in front of you. You've got two years of stories right there in front of us," he said.
It will be interesting to see what the creative team has in store for Roman Reigns after the OG Bloodline vs. the new Bloodline WarGames Match at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames.
