Solo Sikoa has taken over on WWE SmackDown as the interim leader of The Bloodline amid Roman Reigns’s absence. Although that is what he has implied through words, his actions show that the former “Enforcer” has formed a faction of his own.
It is more of an extension of the original group consisting only of members of the Anoa’i family, aside from the “Wiseman,” Paul Heyman.
WWE is heading towards its biggest show of the year not named WrestleMania, so there is a major possibility that Roman Reigns will be back sooner rather than later. It appears he has made his first move by unfollowing Sikoa on social media. Conversely, the latter still follows The Tribal Chief on Instagram.
During a promo segment on SmackDown not long ago between Paul Heyman and Kevin Owens, the crowd broke out with a “We Want Roman” chant. The Wiseman responded by stating that there is not one person in the arena who wants Roman Reigns back more than he does.
Was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson referring to Roman Reigns’s Match at WrestleMania 41?
In February, The Rock returned to WWE television for a WrestleMania program with The Head of the Table. The two superstars were often put together by fans in a dream match scenario. However, the timing was not right. People rejected the company’s decision to plunge the Attitude Era star into the Undisputed WWE Championship picture. They wanted Cody Rhodes to finish the story.
The Rock turned the tables in a few days, introducing “The Final Boss” character. He wound up aligning with The Bloodline, tagging with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL, and winning that match against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
On the RAW After WrestleMania, he told The American Nightmare that the latter has him to worry about, as Rhodes had already defeated Reigns on the grand stage. Recently, while speaking to ESPN, The Rock addressed WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas:
“We’re on the 1-yard line to create the biggest WrestleMania of all time and the biggest match of all time at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. I’ll just leave it at that, Final Boss style,” he said.
The cryptic message could have indicated one of two scenarios. Either The Final Boss continues his rivalry with The American Nightmare, which he already hinted at in April. Or, he finally steps into the ring to face his cousin Roman Reigns.
