Below are a couple of top WWE & AEW news stories of the day, involving Roman Reigns and Tony Schiavone.
• Roman Reigns made a successful return to the ring at Bad Blood in a tag team match, igniting the next chapter in the escalating Bloodline family saga. Tensions continue to rise within the once-dominant faction, with Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and Roman Reigns at the center. The latest episode of SmackDown further intensified the storyline, setting the stage for major developments.
Jimmy Uso received a warm welcome from the crowd, ready for a showdown with his brother Solo Sikoa. However, Roman made a surprise entrance. Grabbing the microphone, Reigns reminded everyone of his authority, stating that being The Tribal Chief means taking what is his and running the show. Despite past Bloodline success, Reigns expressed dissatisfaction with his current standing.
Jimmy Uso, challenging Reigns’ authority, called him a “chief without a tribe” and hinted that Reigns needed him to return at Bad Blood. He also suggested they might need help to take down Solo Sikoa, but Reigns dismissed the idea with the declaration, “no Yeet”. The segment ended with Jimmy walking away, leaving the audience in suspense.
According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE has significant plans for this storyline:
“So they are going to do the big thing where Jimmy has to convince Roman that there are four of them and two of us, and we need some guys.”
