After brutalizing Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline members on last week's WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns is set to appear on the upcoming episode of Friday Night SmackDown. WWE has already advertised the Original Tribal Chief for this show, heightening excitement among fans eager to see what’s next in The Bloodline saga as Roman continues to assert his dominance over Solo's faction.

In this article, we will discuss three reasons why the former Universal Champion needs to be careful on WWE SmackDown this week.


#3. Solo Sikoa surely has a revenge plan in mind

After being attacked by Roman Reigns last week, Solo Sikoa will undoubtedly plot to take revenge on the Original Tribal Chief. With this intention in mind, Roman must be extra cautious during his appearance on SmackDown this week. Sikoa could launch a surprise attack at any moment, whether during Reigns' entrance, in the ring, or even backstage.

Additionally, the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief has several advantages on his side, making it easier for him to execute such an ambush on Roman Reigns.


#2. Solo might bring a new Bloodline member to surprise Reigns

Another reason the Original Tribal Chief needs to be cautious is that Solo Sikoa might surprise him by introducing Hikuleo as the newest member of his faction. Hikuleo, who has reportedly signed with WWE but has yet to make his debut, could make his first appearance on this week's episode of the blue brand.

If Solo brings Hikuleo with him, it would shock Reigns and set the stage for him to exact revenge for last week's attack. As Hikuleo makes his potential debut in WWE, his presence would surprise Reigns, who would be unprepared to face the monstrous giant.


#1. Roman Reigns is expected to get written off this week

Another reason the Original Tribal Chief needs to be cautious is that his next advertised WWE appearance isn't until mid-September 2024. This raises the possibility that Roman Reigns could be written off television in the coming episode. A likely scenario could involve Solo Sikoa and his faction members dismantling Reigns, leading WWE to announce a storyline injury that sends him into another hiatus.

Given this assumption, Roman Reigns must be on high alert, as an attack by Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline seems likely this week. After Reigns' brutal assault on the new Bloodline faction on last week's SmackDown, they will undoubtedly be prepared with a plan to make him pay for his actions.
