Roman Reigns made his comeback at WWE SummerSlam after being away for a while and is now targeting The Bloodline led by Solo Sikoa. Despite his return, fans shouldn’t expect Reigns to compete frequently. According to Dave Meltzer on “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Reigns is expected to have a light schedule moving forward.

Meltzer mentioned, “Roman won’t be around much, but he will make appearances at several TV tapings. I believe his next match might be at Survivor Series. It’s unlikely he will be wrestling at the Berlin show.” Meltzer speculated that Reigns will first face Sikoa before potentially taking on Jacob Fatu in the future, based on TV storylines. In a recent episode of “SmackDown,” Reigns confronted Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tanga Loa, while Fatu was absent due to a possible injury, whether real or part of the storyline. Reportedly, WWE intends to keep Fatu and Reigns separate for now.

Reigns’ light schedule aligns with his past few years in WWE. The significant shift is his transition to a fan favorite after playing the top villain in the promotion previously. WWE now benefits from having two major fan favorites in Reigns and Cody Rhodes, contributing to the company’s recent success.
