The Bloodline's brutal beatdown of Paul Heyman during Friday's SmackDown merely put them on borrowed time. Once Roman Reigns resurfaces, he will have revenge on the mind and Solo Sikoa in his sights.
There should be no rush in getting him back on television as quickly as Money in the Bank, though.
Reigns ruled the company as its undisputed WWE universal champion for nearly four years, so an extended break was needed to make him feel fresh again. The longer his hiatus lasts, the greater the comeback will be.
If WWE is adamant about having Sikoa challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam, there isn't much The Head of the Table can do until then.
It would make more sense for Sikoa to lose to The American Nightmare and for The Tribal Chief to show up after that.
In the meantime, The Bloodline can continue to generate heat and build excitement for the eventual homecoming of Reigns. Jimmy Uso factoring into the finish of The Bloodline's six-man tag team match at Money in the Bank is a strong possibility.
Either way, Reigns' return will be worth the wait for the raucous reaction alone, which is why it's imperative WWE take its time with the story and nail this next chapter.
