Roman Reigns returned for Solo Sikoa at WWE SummerSlam 2024 to cost him the Bloodline Rules Match against Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Championship. THE ORIGINAL TRIBAL CHIEF IS BACK.

Cody Rhodes put the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line in a Bloodline Rules Match against Solo Sikoa during a WWE SummerSlam 2024 that concluded with the return of Roman Reigns .

Only Sikoa took command of The Bloodline to renew it from the roots in all the months that Roman Reigns was absent, integrating Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa & Jacob Fatu to proclaim himself as “the new Tribal Chief”, repeatedly challenging his cousin to appear to try to prevent him from restoring his family’s honor. Once the renewed Bloodline expanded its domain, Solo set out to regain the gold: Tonga & Fatu won the WWE Tag Team Championship on SmackDown ( August 2, 2024 ) and not last night, he sought to defeat Cody Rhodes to regain the WWE Championship.
