When SmackDown returned to USA Network on September 13th, Roman Reigns made his first appearance as a full-time performer. Since WrestleMania 40, he had been a “free agent,” but WWE recently changed that to a full-time roster slot. With this change, Reigns is ready to take over the WWE arena and show why he’s the Tribal Chief.
The first segment of WWE SmackDown featured a cage match between Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa, in which Rhodes defended his Undisputed WWE Title. When Rhodes won, The Bloodline tried to smash him, but Roman Reigns came back in style to stop them.
At the end of the segment, Sikoa and Fatu confronted them again, which made Rhodes and Reigns change their minds and sign the contracts for Bad Blood. With this new commitment, Reigns’ transition from free agent to full-time SmackDown roster makes perfect sense.
Since Reigns has joined the SmackDown roster, he is no longer considered a free agent. This action suggests that he is getting back into the swing of things, and he is even set to feature on Survivor Series.
Roman Reigns is coming to WWE Survivor Series
Fans have been anticipating a possible Bloodline civil war in the double steel cage ever since Triple H announced the WWE Survivor Series. The show is getting even more attention with Roman Reigns as a major Survivor Series star on the new cover. The poster portrays Reigns in his wrestling attire along with WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
Reigns hasn’t fought since April when Rhodes beat him to win the WWE Championship. He has just made appearances in order to cause havoc and declare his empire’s existence. With the Survivor Series coming up, Reigns might push for a title rematch with Rhodes, or Solo Sikoa might force him into a bigger conflict instead.
