Solo Sikoa has proclaimed himself as the new Tribal Chief of The Bloodline on WWE SmackDown. However, WWE analyst Peter Rosenberg thinks that a legend could return to take over the group’s leadership at Survivor Series.
The legend in question is none other than The Rock. The Final Boss joined The Bloodline earlier this year under Roman Reigns’ leadership. Meanwhile, Sikoa has assumed control of the faction, eliminating Jimmy Uso & Paul Heyman while adding Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, & Jacob Fatu, after The Original Tribal Chief’s loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. The former enforcer is now feuding with Reigns and many expect the latter to reunite with the original Bloodline members.
On his Cheap Heat podcast, WWE analyst Peter Rosenberg addressed the possibility of having a WarGames match between the new Bloodline and the original Bloodline at Survivor Series. He claimed it would be interesting if The Rock returned to lead Sikoa’s group against Reigns,’ setting up a potential square-off between The Final Boss and The Original Tribal Chief:
“This could potentially be the time. You get to Survivor Series: WarGames. Is it possible that it’s the new Bloodline is led by The Rock? The Rock, Solo [Sikoa], Jacob [Fatu], Tonga [Loa], Tama [Tonga] against Roman [Reigns], Jey [Uso], Jimmy [Uso], Sami [Zayn], Cody [Rhodes]. That would be interesting. That would be interesting… And also, think about it like this though, then that breaks off into a Rock-Roman story. But it also builds more foundation for that eventual coming back to the Cody-Roman story,” he said. [From 23:52 to 24:53]

Ex-WWE employee believes The Rock will return in January
On the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, former WWE employee Tommy Carlucci also discussed The Rock’s anticipated return. He predicted that The Final Boss would not return at Survivor Series. Instead, he will make his comeback in January and will be on the first episode of RAW on Netflix.
The former employee, who spent over 30 years in the Stamford-based company, also suggested The Rock would go after Cody Rhodes upon his return:
“I don’t think Rock’s gonna show up at Survivor Series. [You don’t think so?] No, because of his movie, the part two of [Moana]. I don’t think he’s showing up until January and that’s where he’ll pick up with Cody I think,” he said.
The Rock last appeared on WWE TV when he confronted Rhodes on RAW after WrestleMania. It would be interesting to see when The Final Boss returns to the Stamford-based company.
