The former WWE Undisputed Champion, Roman Reigns, may be on hiatus from the company following his championship loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. Reigns has been keeping himself busy with outside film projects and will still have a presence with WWE from behind the scenes. We do expect Roman to be back on WWE television at some point down the road. When that will happen is up in the air, but we could at least speculate it to be around SummerSlam, at the earliest possible date. Today, we will focus on The Tribal Chief's Hollywood and future WWE career prospects.

Not much is known about Roman Reigns' role in the film, but we can see from the picture (shown above) that he seems to be right at home sitting on a throne surrounded by beautiful women. No other film projects or television roles have been announced yet for Roman, but we would not be surprised if he takes on other projects while he's away from WWE.

As we saw on the most recent episode of WWE SmackDown, Tama Tonga made his shocking yet surprising WWE debut as he and Solo Sikoa turned on Jimmy Uso. The Bloodline's wiseman and WWE Hall of Famer, Paul Heyman, stood by in absolute shock and dismay at what happened.
When forcefully told by Solo Sikoa to go along with them, Heyman seemed confused and wasn't sure what to make of the situation. As noted, Roman Reigns is out of the picture for the time being, so when Heyman went to make the call to the Tribal Chief, the cellphone was knocked away from him by Sikoa. This appears to be a new day and a new era for The Bloodline, with Solo Sikoa taking over and seemingly referring to himself now as the new "Tribal Chief" in Roman's absence. This will apparently set up the perfect window of opportunity for Roman Reigns' future return and set the story up for a Bloodline tribal war between Reigns and Solo that could occur at SummerSlam.
What fans may not be aware of is that behind the scenes, Reigns has his fingers deep into the creative pocket for this current Bloodline storyline. Furthermore, it was made apparent that Reigns reportedly "made the call" for Jimmy Uso to be taken out and removed from the group. Despite his current hiatus, Reigns is actively involved in the storyline and has provided substantial creative input for the evolution of The Bloodline storyline that will continue to grow over the months to come.
