Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa are set to compete in a Tribal Combat match on WWE RAW’s Netflix premiere. Reigns laid out the challenge himself on the latest edition of SmackDown.
Reigns had The Usos, Sami Zayn, and CM Punk behind him in his team’s win at Survivor Series: WarGames. Now, he will have to fight his battles alone as The OG Bloodline has gone its separate ways again.
Meanwhile, Solo Sikoa still has his Bloodline with him. However, Roman Reigns wants him to leave his men aside and come out to battle on his own in a Tribal Combat bout.
WWE fans can still expect some other members outside the Bloodline teams to show up during the contest. Here are four stars who can debut or return to become part of the contest.

#4. Zilla Fatu may be heading to WWE
Umaga’s son is waiting on the sidelines to make an impact after calling out The Bloodline several times. However, he may still be too green to make his in-ring debut in WWE.
It has been heavily rumored that Zilla is Fatu is WWE-bound, but there are no confirmations from either side. The company could bring him in for a one-time appearance to build more hype around him and also make the Tribal Combat more interesting.
Zilla Fatu could appear at a time when Roman Reigns is ready to hit a Spear and prevent him from doing so. By doing this, he could help Solo Sikoa win the contest and bring a lot of heat towards him.
WWE could sign Zilla Fatu down the road. An appearance could already help create some noise around his future in-ring debut.
#3. Rikishi could help his son Solo Sikoa win the Tribal Combat match
Jimmy and Jey Uso have had their differences with Solo Sikoa over the years. The two men were recently taken down by Drew McIntyre, and their future remains unknown.
However, Rikishi could return to help his son Sikoa in the Tribal Combat on the first episode of RAW on Netflix. Rikishi has been extremely vocal about The Bloodline saga, and he could finally get a chance to become part of it.
Rikishi could return to WWE to help Sikoa secure the win over Roman Reigns and end the rivalry for good. This could leave Reigns on the red brand while Sikoa could return to rule the SmackDown brand in the coming weeks.
#2. Armando Estrada could become the new Wiseman
Umaga played a major role in building the Anoa’i family’s name in WWE. He was a prominent figure who enjoyed a great undefeated streak in the company between 2005 and 2007.
Armando Estrada worked as Umaga’s manager and was seen as a phenomenal worker on the mic. The legend could return to work with the man who is now using Umaga’s finisher.
The Samoan Spike was made popular by the late Umaga, and Solo Sikoa has made it his finishing move in WWE. Estrada could appear during the Tribal Combat bout to distract Roman Reigns and allow Solo Sikoa to pick up the win.
The angle will help Solo Sikoa finally get over and Armando Estrada could become The Tribal Chief’s new Wiseman. He signed a Legends contract with the company in September 2024, which could play a role in his return on RAW’s Netflix premiere.
#1. The Rock still has to face Roman Reigns in WWE
The RAW Netflix premiere could bring out some big names. John Cena could show up to hype the fans and possibly get into his first rivalry in his retirement tour.
Meanwhile, fans will be hoping for The Rock to appear once again after he did so at Bad Blood. He could show up during the Tribal Combat match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa at the show.
The Great One could pick sides, and possibly help Reigns’ former Enforcer pick up the win. The angle will allow him to remain a heel and possibly ignite a rivalry between him and Roman Reigns heading into WrestleMania 41.
The Rock’s appearance during The Tribal Combat match will build a lot more heat around the storyline involving The Bloodline. It would also cushion Roman Reigns’ loss and allow him to retain his credibility.
