The Original Tribal Chief is back, and this time, Roman Reigns is ready to remind everyone exactly who runs the WWE island. After months of high-stakes family drama and getting pulled back into the fray by Solo Sikoa, Reigns is set to make a serious impact on SmackDown between October and November. According to PWInsider, Reigns has been confirmed for every single SmackDown from October 11 through November 22—meaning there won’t be any surprise vacations or vanishing acts.
With this packed schedule, it looks like Reigns is ready for all-out war against The Bloodline, especially his once-loyal enforcer, Solo Sikoa, who’s been gunning for the throne. And let’s not forget—Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia is right around the corner in early November, so Reigns’ presence is sure to cause some fireworks.
Since returning at SummerSlam, following a lengthy break after losing his Undisputed Title at WrestleMania 40, Reigns has been busy. He helped Cody Rhodes defeat Solo Sikoa and then doubled down on SmackDown, teaming with Rhodes in a steel cage to take down Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a massive tag team match coming up on October 5. Reigns’ recent appearances have been nothing short of legendary—whether in live action or even his pre-taped face-off with Rhodes at Bobby Dodd Stadium, which had the WWE Universe buzzing.
Now, as we approach Bad Blood, there’s still some debate over what will headline the event. Reigns and Rhodes vs. Sikoa could main event, but with Drew McIntyre and CM Punk facing off in a Hell in a Cell from the WWE Raw brand, it’s anyone’s guess who will close the show. Either way, with Reigns on deck, SmackDown is about to become must-watch TV again.
