Roman Reigns to replace Paul Heyman with WWE Attitude Era icon as Wiseman of OG Bloodline? Potential twist explored
Roman Reigns might have another Wiseman in backup in case Paul Heyman betrays him and switches to Solo Sikoa's Bloodline after the WWE Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event. Roman's pick could be his Anoa'i family member and the WWE legend, Rikishi.
Paul Heyman's actions can often lead to sudden betrayals, as seen before on WWE TV over the years. He could again change loyalties after Survivor Series in case Reigns' team loses at the event. He has been in fact teasing betrayal with his recent wardrobe change, which is similar to what Solo Sikoa wears. In the past also, he has back-stabbed his clients like Brock Lesnar and CM Punk himself. So, the 59-year-old WWE executive won't think twice before turning on Roman Reigns.
As for Rikishi, the WWE legend hasn't been seen in the Stamford-based promotion for the past four years. The last time he was seen in WWE was at Survivor Series 2020 at The Undertaker's retirement ceremony.
While Rikishi hasn't revealed anything on his WWE return, he has left the doors open, noting that you never say never in the wrestling business. While speaking on his podcast, Off The Top, Rikishi said that although he doesn't want to, he'll think on turning Wiseman of OG Bloodline.
“[Laughs] Would you guys please stop trying to drag me in there? I’m having fun shooting the podcast, I’m having fun living the second part of life, to be able to be home and train at Knox Pro, train the new students of the game. But in this game, you never say never. Every time I go to all the signings, that’s first thing the fans always ask me. ‘When are you gonna come back? We want you to come back.’ I’m just like man, I don’t know. I guess I hear it enough, we’ll see," Rikishi said. [H/T - Fightful Select]
The WWE Hall of Famer was even expected to turn up to settle down things between his sons Jimmy and Jey Uso and reinitiate the OG Bloodline. However, Jimmy and Jey settled it between themselves. It remains to be seen if the former Big Dog will turn to Rikishi if Heyman betrays them.
Roman Reigns to sit down and discuss things with CM Punk ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames
Paul Heyman created a big twist in the tale on SmackDown last week, when he brought along CM Punk as the fifth member of the OG Bloodline. It unseated everybody as Roman Reigns' real-life heat with CM Punk is well-known among the fans.
On this week's RAW, The Usos and Sami Zayn were seen discussing that Roman Reigns and CM Punk might have to sit down and discuss a few things before heading to Survivor Series.
While it doesn't appear that CM Punk may not betray Roman Reigns during the match, a bit of non-communication or coldness between the two can cost them the match. It remains to be seen how Roman Reigns, as leader of OG Bloodline, approaches CM Punk.
