Roman Reigns is currently on a hiatus. However, the Original Tribal Chief is expected to return in time for Bad Blood 2024, which will air live from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 5.
Fans are eager to know what the creative team has in store for Reigns at the upcoming extravaganza. There are several potential ways WWE could book its poster boy for Bad Blood 2024.
The following piece will explore three potential directions for the Original Tribal Chief at the event:
3. Roman Reigns joins forces with Cody Rhodes at Bad Blood 2024

Cody Rhodes will defend his Undisputed WWE Title against Solo Sikoa in a Steel Cage Match on Friday’s SmackDown. However, this could turn into something more as Roman Reigns could make his much-awaited return during the clash.
Given that The Bloodline will likely interfere in Rhodes’ match against Solo, the Original Tribal Chief could return to neutralize the heel faction, helping The American Nightmare retain his title.
This potential angle could see Reigns join forces with ex-AEW star and his former rival, Cody Rhodes, to take on Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, or Jacob Fatu in a tag team encounter at Bad Blood 2024.
2. The Original Tribal Chief vs. The Street Champion
Following Roman Reigns’ return at SummerSlam, there were murmurs of a potential match between the Original Tribal Chief and Solo Sikoa at Bash in Berlin. However, that never came to fruition.
That said, the creative team may book the highly-anticipated match between the two former stablemates at Bad Blood 2024. Roman Reigns could return to take out The Bloodline on Friday’s SmackDown, leading to a potential singles match against The Street Champion on October 5.
1. Roman Reigns returns at Bad Blood 2024 with his faction
While Reigns is rumored to return on SmackDown this week, another direction could see the creative team save his return for Bad Blood 2024. WWE could book The Bloodline in a match at the October 5 event, leading to The Big Dog’s return.
However, the Original Tribal Chief may return with his faction. Given Reigns can’t fight the entire Bloodline alone, he could return with backup. The Big Dog could be accompanied by Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman, both of whom were kicked out of The Bloodline by Solo Sikoa.

Roman’s new faction consisting of old friends could take out The Bloodline at Bad Blood 2024, much to the delight of fans. Following the spectacle, the Original Tribal Chief could expand his stable by adding new members.
