Roman Reigns to reunite with WWE star after 5 years; make him the 5th OG Bloodline member? Potential last-minute decision explored

The new Bloodline has revealed the fifth member of their WarGames team for the Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 Premium Live Event. Bronson Reed has joined Solo Sikoa's team and made a huge impression during the latest episode of WWE SmackDown by destroying Roman Reigns.

Reigns will now be desperate to find a fifth member for his WarGames team in the coming weeks. Fans have been wondering whether The Original Tribal Chief might bring in his cousin Lance Anoa'i to level the playing field. However, this seems unlikely.

Lance, who is the son of former WWE star Samu, recently signed with WWE as part of NXT’s latest class. Reigns also has a history with Lance. The two interacted during an episode of RAW in 2019 when the 32-year-old had a tryout match with Shane McMahon. After the match, Roman saved Lance from an attack by McMahon and Drew McIntyre.

It would make sense for Reigns to add his cousin to his WarGames team for Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. However, recent reports suggest that Lance Anoa'i is currently injured and is expected to be out of action at least until early 2025. Therefore, it seems highly unlikely that the 32-year-old will be the fifth member of Roman's OG Bloodline.

Paul Heyman will return to save Roman Reigns, according to ex-WWE employee

Roman Reigns was left speechless after this week’s episode of SmackDown when his phone call to Paul Heyman failed, with a message stating that The Wiseman's number was out of service.

During a recent episode of Behind The Turnbuckle: The War Room podcast, former WWE employee Tommy Carlucci predicted that Heyman would eventually return to save Reigns. The Original Tribal Chief has been struggling against the new Bloodline, with Solo Sikoa seemingly staying one step ahead of him at every turn. However, Carlucci believes that all this self-doubt will ultimately lead to The Wiseman returning to help Reigns reclaim his dominance:

"I like what the storyline [sic] going on, and hopefully The Wiseman is behind this with Roman Reigns, humbling him a little. Everybody loses. Mike Tyson lost. Muhammad Ali lost; one of the greatest people of all time. You're seeing him being a little confused in the ring. Maybe he's doubting himself now by his facial looks when he comes in to cut a promo. And I think it's all part of the process that The Wiseman will come and save Roman Reigns."
