ROMAN REIGNS AND JIMMY USO BEATS UP THE NEW BLOODLINE AND REIGNS WRESTLING ON FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN

It’s not exactly a Where’s Waldo exercise, but if you’ve seen Roman Reigns in the last few weeks, you’re doing better than the majority of the wrestling world. Following his loss to Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania 40, the Bloodline tribal chief disappeared from the wrestling world and it made perfect sense. After holding the Undisputed championship for an unprecedented four-year run, some rime off was warranted.

Fans thought he was back when he appeared to a roaring ovation to save Rhodes from Reigns’ own faction, as Solo Sikoa neared victory at SummerSlam. For the next two weeks, Reigns appeared on the blue brand for confrontations with Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu, coming out on the wrong end of a beatdown at the end of the August 16 episode.

And then… he was gone again. No Reigns on the August 23 or August 30 episodes, and no Reigns at the Bash in Berlin PLE August 31. And thus far, it doesn’t appear that he will be part of the last WWE Friday Night Smackdown of the season, the FOX finale on September 6.

SmackDown has certainly been trying to keep up their pace over the last few months, and with WWE Week on USA Network coming next week, Raw, NXT and Smackdown will all co-exist on the one network for four weeks. One would expect Reigns to be involved again soon, but it’s now over four months since he’s been involved in an actual match. At some point there will be official matches against the members of the Bloodline, and perhaps Friday’s promos will build towards that happening as early as next week.
