What if Roman Reigns returns at WWE SummerSlam but not to oppose Solo Sikoa? Exploring potential outcomes

The long-awaited return of Roman Reigns might finally come to fruition at SummerSlam 2024. The Head of the Table was last seen at WrestleMania XL, where he lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes. At SummerSlam, Reigns is expected to return for the first time since losing the title.

While it's anticipated that Roman will return as a babyface and side against Solo Sikoa's Bloodline, there is also a slight possibility that the Tribal Chief might return and not oppose Solo Sikoa.

For those unaware, Solo Sikoa is set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Title at SummerSlam 2024. It’s plausible that Reigns could return after Rhodes defeats Sikoa and retain his title. Although The American Nightmare might expect Reigns to be on his side, Roman might instead align with Solo Sikoa to attack Rhodes and his allies.

This could be driven by Reigns' desire for revenge after being dethroned by Cody at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Following this potential angle, WWE might showcase Reigns initially siding with Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline faction, only for him to betray them when The Usos make their arrival. This could be part of a master plan by the Tribal Chief, leading to a Bloodline Civil War between Solo's faction and the original Bloodline.

It remains to be seen how things will unfold when Roman Reigns makes his return and how it will impact the ongoing Bloodline Saga.

Roman Reigns' return could lead to a massive debut in WWE

In any scenario, if Roman Reigns returns at SummerSlam 2024, it could lead to the massive debut of Hikuleo in the Stamford-based promotion. Recent reports indicate that the real-life Bloodline member has signed with WWE. This opens the possibility for Hikuleo to make a significant debut at The Biggest Party of the Summer alongside the Tribal Chief.

Roman Reigns will certainly need additional support to confront Solo Sikoa's faction. While Jey and Jimmy Uso are anticipated to reunite with the Tribal Chief as part of the OG Bloodline, Roman would still be short of numbers, as Solo’s Bloodline faction has four members.

This makes Hikuleo a strong contender to join the Bloodline Saga, potentially aligning himself with the former Undisputed Champion in his battle against Solo Sikoa. Now it remains to see if Hikuleo will make his debut along with Roman Reigns at SummerSlam or potentially join him later on Friday Night SmackDown.
