On the last episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Roman Reigns made his much-awaited return to WWE and saved Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes from an attack by The Bloodline after he managed to retain his title by defeating self-proclaimed Tribal Chief, Solo Sikoa.
During the final segment of the night The OTC came face to face with The American Nightmare for a second time on the show. However, before anything could build up, Solo Sikoa interrupted along with The Samoan Warewolf. In a shocking twist, Rhodes and Reigns both ended up signing the contract for the Tag Team Match pitched by Solo earlier for Bad Blood next month.
There is a possibility that The Bloodline attacks Reigns to take him out, just before Bad Blood, leaving Rhodes in a handicap situation. In a dramatic turn, the former eight-time WWE Tag Team Champion, Jimmy Uso could make a surprise return to action to team up with The American Nightmare and fill in for The Head of the Table.
Jimmy Uso has been away from the Stamford-based promotion since SmackDown after WrestleMania XL, where he was blindsided and assaulted by Sikoa and Tama Tonga and then booted out of The Bloodline.
Although a speculative angle, there have been rumors of Uso’s return for quite a few weeks now. A comeback at the premium live event next month would not be out of the realm of possibilities.
WWE Hall of Famer feels Roman Reigns is the best in the world
During his appearance at the K$S WrestleFest, former WWE champion and Hall of Famer, Kurt Angle was full of praises for Roman Reigns.
He opened up on the rise of Reigns and said that The Orginal Tribal Chief was currently at the peak of his game and that he was one of the best, in the world of professional wrestling.
Roman Reigns. I’m not gonna lie to you, the kid’s been on fire. I will say this – he earned every bit that he’s gotten. I do believe the company pushed him a little too early and the fans didn’t wanna accept that, but he’s followed through. He’s proven that he’s one of the best in the world right now,” said Kurt Angle.
It will be interesting to see how The OTC pairs up with his arch nemesis, The American Nightmare, at Bad Blood on October 5, or will Triple H’s love for twists take over resulting in Jimmy Uso stepping in for Reigns at the premium live event. Only time will tell.
