Roman Reigns to be destroyed by The Bloodline forcing him to miss Bash in Berlin? Exploring possible SmackDown hint

Roman Reigns made a triumphant return to WWE SmackDown last week by taking down Solo Sikoa's Bloodline. The OTC destroyed Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa with his former Tribal Heir scurrying away. However, the Head of the Table might be in for a rough night on the blue brand tonight (August 16).

WWE's official website shows that Reigns isn't advertised for any upcoming SmackDown show until after Bash in Berlin. He's not advertised for the PLE on August 31. His next appearance is seemingly scheduled for the blue brand on September 13 in Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle. The Bloodline will undoubtedly be out for revenge tonight, and that might include a returning Jacob Fatu. The Samoan Werewolf has been absent since SummerSlam, when he sustained a knee injury during the main event.

Sikoa's faction has decimated several stars, putting them out of action and off TV. Jimmy Uso, Paul Heyman, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens have all felt their wrath, with the former two still sidelined.

Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns are headed for a collision course, but their feud will likely be lengthy. Taking the original Bloodline leader out for several weeks will allow Solo and his group to look stronger while the storyline builds on WWE SmackDown.

The next PLE after Bash in Berlin is Bad Blood (October 5), the ideal destination for Reigns' first match since returning. Who that's against or whether it's a multi-man match remains to be seen.

Fans speculate about an eventual Bloodline Civil War, in which Team Reigns and Team Sikoa collide. That battle may likely occur at Survivor Series: War Games (November 30).

Roman Reigns needs to address the Bloodline situation on WWE SmackDown

The WWE Universe has not heard from Roman Reigns since returning, but that will likely change on WWE SmackDown. His two appearances thus far have included interfering in the main event of SummerSlam and attacking Bloodline last Friday night.

Fans are waiting to hear from their Tribal Chief about how he plans to reclaim the power of The Bloodline. He may also give an update on Jimmy Uso's and Paul Heyman's absences.

If we are to go three episodes of WWE SmackDown and a PLE without Reigns, then we'll need to know what his future holds. He might declare war on Sikoa and his group, which could lead to his destruction at the show's end.

Roman Reigns could also speak to Cody Rhodes, the man he helped defend the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam. The pair stared while the champ hit Sikoa with a Cross Rhodes to win the match.
