Despite Roman Reigns being absent from last year’s Survivor Series, WWE has begun promoting the 2024 event with Reigns, often referred to as the “Original Tribal Chief,” appearing alongside stars like Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, Solo Sikoa, and Kevin Owens.
While his specific involvement in the show remains unknown, speculation suggests that with WarGames being a prominent feature, we might witness a tribal conflict between the former and current iterations of The Bloodline.
Tensions between Reigns and Sikoa have escalated, particularly after Reigns made his surprise return to “WWE SmackDown” last month. Following that, Sikoa, along with Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga, retaliated against the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion during an episode on August 23.
With the back-and-forth skirmishes between them, tonight’s show could offer another chapter in their rivalry, possibly setting the stage for Reigns to find allies in his battle against The Bloodline.
Unfortunately, fans have not responded favorably to the current version of The Bloodline, especially with Sikoa as the new Tribal Chief. A large segment of the audience feels that Sikoa isn’t deserving of the prestigious Ula Fala, and they have called for Jacob Fatu to assume leadership instead.
However, Rikishi recently advised against such a move, suggesting that while Reigns could eventually face either Sikoa or Fatu, the latter might not be fully prepared for the role. Rikishi warned that promoting Fatu too quickly could stall his momentum and make it appear as though WWE is pushing him before he’s ready. Though the future remains uncertain, a showdown at Survivor Series seems inevitable.
