Roman Reigns has been ruling the yard on WWE Smackdown with an iron fist over the past three years and more. For the entire time, he has the Universal Championship around his shoulder to become The Tribal Chief of the WWE. If recent reports are any indications then the champion status is going to be removed from him within a few months as a new entity will take things over for The Bloodline.
During the latest episode of WWE Smackdown, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns declared Solo Sikoa as the Tribal Heir which keeps him in the front-runner’s spot to take over The Bloodline. This is why it was mentioned that in the current Tribal Chief’s absence, Solo will play the responsibility of running things for the heel faction.
