Roman Reigns crushed Solo Sikoa's hopes of becoming the Undisputed WWE Champion at SummerSlam. Then he took out The Bloodline all by himself on the SmackDown after The Biggest Party of the Summer.

However, Jacob Fatu proved to be a game-changer as he destroyed Reigns on the latest episode of SmackDown and helped The Bloodline get revenge on The Original Tribal Chief. This may lead to Reigns going to WWE RAW to ask Jey Uso for help against Sikoa and his men.

Prior to The Samoan Werewolf's involvement, it seemed like Reigns would be able to deal with The Bloodline on his own. However, he needs backup after what went down on SmackDown last Friday.

Roman Reigns was pulled out of the 2024 WWE Draft by Paul Heyman, so he is technically a free agent. Moreover, he is not a part of the SmackDown roster on the promotion's official website even though he has made two appearances on the show since his return.

The former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion made Jey Uso suffer a lot, so he would need to mend fences if he wanted his cousin's help. Jey could want his friend, Sami Zayn to accompany him too, so he might ask Reigns to apologize to the former Honorary Uce as well.

WWE will likely book a WarGames match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa's versions of The Bloodline at Survivor Series this year. Therefore, the chances of The Original Tribal Chief showing up on the red brand to try and reunite the original Bloodline are very high.

Roman Reigns was likely written off television after The Bloodline attacked him last Friday. His next appearance is scheduled for the September 13 edition of SmackDown, which will see the blue brand's return to the USA Network.

The Original Tribal Chief may show up on RAW ahead of his next SmackDown appearance to gather backup before he confronts Solo Sikoa's Bloodline again.


Jey Uso considers Roman Reigns the undisputed Tribal Chief

Jey Uso was the first pro wrestler to acknowledge Roman Reigns and join The Bloodline. He became The Original Tribal Chief's Right-Hand Man and was manipulated by him for years until he decided to quit the faction and move to RAW.

Even though Jey is not on good terms with his cousin, he stated in an interview with Gorilla Position that Reigns will always be his Tribal Chief.

"For me, Roman Reigns will always be my Tribal Chief. I learned from him, you know. He's the one who brought us to the promised land. Now, you know, snakes wanna step up. Solo Sikoa is a big hitter, man. So, I'm just glad I'm not on Fridays no more, Uce, you know what I'm saying? I do my thing on Monday. I'm gonna let that family drama go down over there as long as they keep it on SmackDown," he said.

Jey Uso has been teasing teaming up with Sami Zayn on RAW lately, which may be an indication that a reunion of the original Bloodline, which could include the former Honorary Uce, could be in the works.
