Roman Reigns returned during a recent episode of Raw<\/a> and attacked The Vision. He has been at odds with Seth Rollins’ group for a considerable time. While it was exciting to see The Original Bloodline back, with Jey and Jimmy Uso alongside Reigns during the closing moments of Raw, the company needs to rethink this storyline. Here\u2019s our take on why Roman Reigns needs a different path forward for the remainder of this year.<\/p>\n

The Bloodline Is Not Together<\/h2>\n

The Bloodline is not united on SmackDown at this time. Roman Reigns is on Raw, while Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso are on the red brand, working as a team. Solo Sikoa leads his own group, My Family Tree, and Sami Zayn is the current United States Champion. These performers were once united alongside Paul Heyman and were beloved despite being heels.<\/p>\n

Roman has had an excellent run, and his “Original Tribal Chief” moniker has elevated him on multiple levels. He doesn\u2019t need others to stay relevant, and the company should avoid placing him in a storyline involving Jey and Jimmy Uso<\/a>. If WWE follows this familiar route, Reigns may not have anything new to offer, even though most members (except Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman) are now babyfaces.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Uso watches as his brother Jey falls deeper under Roman Reigns\u2019 influence, consumed by his lust for power and respect.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m really intrigued by where this is headed. Are we on the verge of a Jey Uso heel turn?<\/p>\n

Guess we\u2019ll find out soon enough…#WWERaw<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/lfzkJTOT5o<\/a><\/p>\n
