Former WWE Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns recently made a shocking comeback at SummerSlam and he has targeted Solo Sikoa, who is claiming to be The Tribal Chief. Recently, long-term plans for Roman Reigns have been revealed.
On the August 9, 2024, episode of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns returned to the blue brand and started a brawl with Solo Sikoa, before Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa intervened.
Tama and Tanga tried to attack Roman Reigns, but he quickly turned things around. Reigns speared Tanga Loa and hit another spear on Tama Tonga through the barricade, making big impact in his return.
Jacob Fatu was absent from the show due to his injury after he was even seen wearing walking boot. Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Jacob Fatu is currently being kept off television as WWE aims to avoid a confrontation between him and Roman Reigns. The strategy is to save Fatu’s unique appeal by not having him interact with Reigns, as Reigns’ matches often require opponents to sell extensively for him.
“Essentially the deal is they’re basically trying to have Jacob Fatu completely avoid Roman Reigns, because everyone has to sell for Roman Reigns and they want to keep Jacob Fatu special by not bumping around for Roman Reigns. So he’s going to be gone when Roman Reigns is around until whenever the time is right to hook them up. That’s the situation. I can’t say he’s not hurt but everything that’s happening was planned to happen, I can say that, as far as avoiding those two locking up for now until later when they will lock up. I think they want Roman with Solo first and then Jacob Fatu after that.”
