The need for a Roman Reigns return has increased more than ever due to Solo Sikoa's unexpected rise to the fore of The Bloodline. As the new Tribal Chief, Sikoa has delivered results but has also eliminated those close to Reigns - Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman.

On SmackDown before Money in the Bank, Sikoa also took a shot at Reigns when he said the latter was not "man enough." Sikoa's words and actions warrant a match between him and Reigns, but the question is where? There is a possibility the duo could clash at Bad Blood in October.

WWE is set to bring back Bad Blood for the first time since 2004. At this premium live event, WWE could feature a main event match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. Given the event was returning after 20 years, WWE would want a big match to headline the PLE, and this clash could be perfect.

To further make things exciting, the match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa could be contested inside a Hell in a Cell at the premium live event. The reason behind this is plain and simple. Every main event in the previous editions of Bad Blood has featured a Hell in a Cell Match as the headliner.

As a matter of fact, the first Hell in a Cell Match took place at Badd Blood: In Your House in which Shawn Michaels beat The Undertaker to become the number-one contender for the WWF Championship. Hence, it would be great to see WWE keep up with the tradition and book Reigns vs Sikoa inside a Hell in a Cell.


Wrestling analyst predicts Roman Reigns' cousin will appear before him

The absence of Roman Reigns since WrestleMania 40 has overshadowed a lot of things. One such being is the absence of Jimmy Uso. While fans are excited to see Reigns back, there seems to be no talk about Jimmy's return among the WWE Universe.

However, as per wrestling analyst Sam Roberts, Jimmy Uso could appear before The Tribal Chief does. During an episode of the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Roberts predicted SummerSlam is where Jimmy could return whereas Reigns could come back at Survivor Series.

"Jimmy's still got to come back, you know. SummerSlam might be when Jimmy [Uso] comes back. It's possible, and then maybe [Roman Reigns] comes back like at Survivor Series or something like that," Roberts said. [52:42 - 52:52]

If this were to happen and Reigns does not appear before or at SummerSlam, then the potential of seeing a match between him and Solo Sikoa at Bad Blood increases. It will be interesting to see what happens with the whole Bloodline Saga in the coming months.
