Guess who’s back for Survivor Series 2024, folks? The Original Tribal Chief himself, Roman Reigns! After missing last year’s event (probably too busy, you know, counting his championship reigns), WWE has finally confirmed that Reigns will grace us with his glorious presence at this year’s showdown. And trust me, this return is big. He’s being advertised alongside other heavy hitters like Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, Solo Sikoa, and Kevin Owens—quite the ensemble for what could be a tribal throwdown of epic proportions.
Now, while WWE’s keeping mum on Reigns’ exact role in the event (classic move—keep us guessing, keep us hooked), there’s already speculation that this year’s Survivor Series might feature a tribal war for the ages. With the ongoing family drama in The Bloodline, it’s like Thanksgiving dinner but with more punching and less stuffing.
Reigns has been butting heads with Solo Sikoa lately, in what can only be described as “My Ula Fala is Bigger Than Yours”. After making his dramatic return to “WWE SmackDown” early last month, Reigns got the upper hand on Sikoa. But not to be outdone, Sikoa, Tonga Loa, and Tama Tonga teamed up to return the favor on the August 23 episode, reminding Reigns that payback runs deep in the blood.
And the fans? Well, they’re not exactly loving this new Bloodline regime. Solo Sikoa as the new Tribal Chief? Eh, not everyone’s feeling it. In fact, many are calling for Jacob Fatu to step in and take over the family business. But wait! Enter WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, the voice of reason (and the man who could probably solve family feuds with a well-timed stink face). Rikishi recently pumped the brakes on this idea, warning that while Reigns vs. Fatu would be a dream match, rushing Fatu into the Tribal Chief role might just ruin his momentum. “Let the guy build his legacy first!” he advised. Wise words from a man who knows a thing or two about legacy—and dancing.
So, what’s next? Will Reigns and Sikoa finally settle their differences in the WarGames match? Will Jacob Fatu enter the fold and cause even more family drama? Will Roman Reigns make any friends? Only time—and WWE’s ever-mysterious creative team—will tell. But one thing’s for sure: Survivor Series 2024 is shaping up to be one heck of a tribal war.
