Roman Reigns to face 18-year veteran for the final time; brawl with injured star? 3 matches The Original Tribal Chief can have after his WWE return

Roman Reigns' earth-shattering return at SummerSlam 2024 was a surreal moment for the WWE Universe. Now, fans are eagerly anticipating when the Original Tribal Chief will step back into the squared circle and compete in a match.

In this article, we will explore three potential matches for the former Universal Champion following his sensational return at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

#3. Roman Reigns could clash against Cody Rhodes for the final time

The Original Tribal Chief returned at SummerSlam by attacking Solo Sikoa, ultimately aiding Cody Rhodes in retaining the Undisputed WWE title. In the post-press conference, The American Nightmare revealed his belief that Reigns is entitled to a rematch, making a trilogy match between these two a strong possibility.

Given this statement, a final match between Roman and the 18-year veteran is indeed a real possibility. However, it’s worth noting that WWE might choose to save their final showdown for further down the road, potentially even until next year.

If their trilogy match occurs during Reigns' ongoing feud with Solo Sikoa, Sikoa could likely interfere and cost Reigns the title. This would also serve to intensify the rivalry between Roman and Solo within the Stamford-based promotion.

#2. Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa could finally take place

A match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa seems imminent given their altercation at SummerSlam 2024. The feud between these two Samoans is expected to officially kick off on the upcoming episode of SmackDown, where the Original Tribal Chief will make his first appearance since SummerSlam.

Their first encounter could take place at either Bash in Berlin or the Bad Blood 2024 premium live event. However, fans should anticipate more than one match between Reigns and Sikoa, as their rivalry is expected to extend at least until Survivor Series WarGames, where a Bloodline Civil War has been anticipated to unfold.

#1. Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu will surely take place in the forthcoming months

Jacob Fatu has been assigned the role of Enforcer for Solo Sikoa's Bloodline, meaning he will be the primary defender of the faction when danger arises. However, if Fatu suffered a serious injury at SummerSlam, Roman Reigns and Fatu might only engage in a brawl for now. This brawl could set the stage for a future match between them once Fatu has fully recovered.

There is also a report stating that Jacob was supposed to sell an injury angle at SummerSlam, suggesting that his injury may not be as severe as it appeared. Even if it is a real injury, Fatu could recover soon, leading to a match between these two in the coming months.
