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.
