Roman Reigns finds himself without counsel following Paul Heyman’s absence from WWE television. During last week’s SmackDown, Reigns acknowledged to Jimmy Uso that Heyman’s presence could have helped resolve the ongoing situation with Jey Uso.
“When Jacob does something to Roman, it needs to come with an impact. Would it capture the audience? When Jacob does something to Roman, it should be something to take him back out. Like pretty much, ‘I beat you up so bad, it almost ends your career.’ It should be an ambulance. It should be something like him going through surgery for whatever,” Rikishi said on his Off The Top podcast, discussing a potential match between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu.
Heyman has not appeared since Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline executed a powerbomb through the announce desk. This absence creates an opportunity for Rikishi, a member of the Anoa’i family, to potentially step in as mediator between Reigns and Jey Uso before Survivor Series: WarGames.
The storyline took another turn on RAW when Solo Sikoa’s intervention caused Jey Uso to lose his Intercontinental Championship match against Bron Breakker.
While speculation surrounds Rikishi’s involvement, no official plans have been confirmed. The 59-year-old’s potential role could lead to confrontations with his son, Solo Sikoa, possibly resulting in similar consequences to those faced by Heyman.
