Reigns’ last televised appearance at WrestleMania 41 concluded with Paul Heyman betraying him. His absence since then stands in stark contrast to his previous presence as a revered figure, stemming from his lengthy reign as the Undisputed Universal Champion.

Adding another layer to the evolving narrative, former Bloodline member Solo Sikoa appeared on SmackDown alongside Jacob Fatu and JC Mateo. Tension was palpable between Rollins’ faction and Sikoa’s group on the show. Solo Sikoa is also a key participant in the upcoming Money in the Bank ladder match.
