Roman Reigns encountered difficulties reaching Paul Heyman during SmackDown, prompting speculation about a new advisor for the OG Bloodline. Reports suggest WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi could step into the Wiseman role as the storyline continues to evolve toward WrestleMania 41.
The possibility of Rikishi’s involvement gained traction after Bronson Reed aligned with Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline faction on SmackDown. Reed’s intervention against the OG Bloodline shifted the power dynamic heading into Survivor Series: WarGames.
When asked about potential involvement in the Bloodline storyline during an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Bill Apter, Rikishi maintained discretion, neither confirming nor denying his return. His last WWE appearance occurred at The Undertaker’s retirement ceremony during Survivor Series 2020.
Meanwhile, Seth Rollins declined Sami Zayn’s invitation to join Roman Reigns’ team on RAW. However, Reed’s upcoming match against Rollins could alter this stance, particularly if Solo Sikoa’s group interferes in the contest.
Roman Reigns continues to search for the fifth member of his team for Survivor Series, with Rollins remaining a possibility despite his initial rejection. The situation may evolve during the upcoming RAW episode, where Rollins faces Reed in singles competition.
