Real-life Member Sends Cryptic Message After Roman Reigns’ Actions Against Solo Sikoa

A real-life member of The Bloodline has delivered a cryptic message today on social media following Roman Reigns’ actions against Solo Sikoa. The Tribal Chief has not appeared on WWE television since his loss to Cody Rhodes in the main event of Night Two of WrestleMania XL.

During Reigns’ hiatus, Solo Sikoa has made himself the leader of The Bloodline on SmackDown. He has claimed to have spoken with Reigns and told Heyman that he would be serving as the leader of the faction until The Head of the Table returns.

However, Reigns decided to unfollow Sikoa on Instagram today and it could be a glimpse into the tension within the group. Solo Sikoa’s father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, took to his Instagram today to share an interesting message after his son was unfollowed by The Tribal Chief.

“The business is not a playground. Respect is earned NOT given. #Noplaystationworkers it’s not a game,” he shared.

Solo Sikoa attacked Cody Rhodes after he defeated AJ Styles in an I Quit match at Clash at the Castle to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship. However, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton showed up to make the save and the heel faction retreated.

WWE Hall of Famer wants Roman Reigns to return as a babyface

Teddy Long recently shared that he is hoping to see Roman Reigns return to the company as a babyface.

Speaking on Sportskeeda’s The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, the former WWE authority figure said that Roman Reigns should return as a fan favorite and it should last a while. He also suggested that the only way it would work was if he left Paul Heyman behind.

“I like the idea, though, Mac, I think Roman, he needs to come back as a babyface. That can’t be just one [appearance]. He has to get a little bit of a run out of it […] The only way that really will become believable, and work, is you have to drop [Paul] Heyman.” [From 08:29 onwards]

Despite being absent from television, Roman Reigns is reportedly still creatively involved with the group’s storyline on SmackDown. Only time will tell when the former champion finally returns to the blue brand and how he will react to the changes in his faction.

Welcome to another edition of the top RAW news stories that could have a major impact on the red brand’s future. In today’s edition, we will look at some major stories revolving around notable superstars, such as former WWE Champion Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre and Bo Dallas.

This week on RAW, we saw the debut of the new faction called the Wyatt Sicks. The group is led by Uncle Howdy, a character portrayed by the late Bray Wyatt’s brother Bo Dallas. The group annihilated the RAW roster and has given rise to multiple questions about their future on the red brand.

1) Vince Russo thinks Triple H’s booking can ruin Wyatt Sicks

This week on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW podcast, Vince Russo expressed his keenness to see the Wyatt Sicks faction. He argued that if the usual creative team under Triple H handled the booking, the faction would be ruined quickly. Russo suggested that WWE should bring in outside writers or filmmakers to book the faction instead.

”Like who is going to write this? I’m telling you right now, if the wrestling people write this, this is dead in the water in under a month. If literally outside television, horror writers, movie makers write this, I’m all for it. If Triple H writes this, you’re gonna have Chad Gable get his revenge on the guy in a freaking bunny suit in three weeks on RAW,” said Russo

Triple H has received a mixed response from the fans ever since taking over the creative. While some fans laud his storytelling style, others feel that it is slow and drab. It is not yet known whether or not the Wyatt Sicks will exhibit supernatural characteristics. Whatever the case, the company will have to be careful in booking this new faction on RAW.

2) Drew McIntyre quits WWE on RAW

Drew McIntyre was close to defeating Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at Clash at the Castle last Saturday. However, his nemesis CM Punk showed up and cost the Scot the match in his home country.

This week on RAW, McIntyre came out to call out Punk but instead chose to leave the company. Here is what he said:

“I can’t do this anymore. Scr*w this company, I quit.”

Following his exit, there has been a lot of speculation on what could be next for the former WWE Champion. TNA has shared a clip of McIntyre when he debuted for the company in 2015 soon after he announced his exit. With WWE and TNA’s new partnership, many feel he might head back to TNA for some time.

3) Roman Reigns could return at Money in the Bank

On the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts speculated about the possibility of Rhodes defeating Sikoa at Money in the Bank, which could lead to Roman Reigns finally confronting his cousin.

He also suggested that this angle might result in Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa ousting The Tribal Chief from The Bloodline, the very group he originally created.

“Solo loses to Cody. That is when the music hits. That is when we see Roman Reigns, once again, and [Roman] Reigns comes to the ring by himself in Las Vegas, no Usos. Paul Heyman is already at ringside with Solo Sikoa,” said Roberts

The Tribal Chief is currently a free agent. If he returns at MITB and is ousted by The Bloodline, he could officially sign with the red brand and become a mainstay till the feud picks up during WrestleMania season. Reigns has not been seen since he lost the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.
