Roman Reigns is on a collision course with Jacob Fatu as he continues to hunt down the Ula Fala from Solo Sikoa. The Bloodline war continues to take twists and turns, and it will be interesting to see whether Reigns is part of the upcoming Crown Jewel PLE (November 2).

The OTC needs backup against Sikoa's Bloodline, but mostly Fatu, who has run riot on SmackDown. Reigns has felt the Samoan Werewolf's wrath on several occasions. He might consider turning to a familiar foe in Logan Paul to help deal with the situation.

Logan Paul hasn't appeared in WWE since SummerSlam (August 3), when he lost the United States Championship to LA Knight. The controversial influencer-turned-wrestler is keeping fans on their toes regarding a return.

However, while speaking to US musician Jelly Roll on his Impaulsive podcast, Paul hinted at a future match with Fatu. He praised Sikoa's enforcer, saying he stands out among his fellow stars but is 'on his list.'

Roman Reigns' war against Sikoa's Bloodline was recently boosted when Jimmy Uso returned. Jimmy, one-half of the Usos, has tried to get the former Undisputed WWE Champion to reconcile with his brother Jey, but to no avail.

Thus, Paul could be an option for Reigns to use as he plots how to bring down The Bloodline 2.0. The pair's history might complicate matters, though. They feuded in 2022 over the world title, with the Original Tribal Chief beating the Maverick at Crown Jewel two years ago.


Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu need to face off in singles competition

Jacob Fatu's remarkable debut year in WWE has fans salivating over potential matches and rivalries. He's currently serving as Solo Sikoa's right-hand man but should be let off the leash in singles competition.

A one-on-one match against Roman Reigns would be a must-see, given how destructive the SmackDown newcomer has been. The OTC has yet to display any defense when ambushed by the Samoan Werewolf.

It seems highly likely that Reigns will collide with Sikoa at some stage to crown the Tribal Chief of WWE. That match shouldn't stop the former Shield member from squaring off against Fatu.

Cody Rhodes already tested Jacob Fatu's loyalty to Sikoa. The Undisputed WWE champion demanded the former MLW World Heavyweight Champion challenge him for his title rather than his stable leader.

Reigns could similarly ask to face Fatu rather than Sikoa. He could make it clear that he views Jacob as the biggest threat in The Bloodline 2.0.
