That said, in this article, we look at three shocking swerves WWE could pull off during Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins.
#3. Solo Sikoa shocks everyone by helping Roman Reigns
Few developments would surprise the WWE Universe more than Solo Sikoa coming to Roman Reigns’ aid.
The former Bloodline enforcer has spent months carving out his own path after separating himself from Roman’s leadership. Their relationship has been anything but friendly. Also, there has been little indication that the two men are ready to reconcile.
However, SummerSlam presents the perfect opportunity for WWE to plant the seeds for a reunion. Despite offering to assist Rollins against Roman, The Street Champion could interfere during the match and, in a shocking twist, cost Seth instead.
If that happens, it would generate an enormous reaction. Also, it would open the door for a reunion heading into the final months of 2026. More importantly, it would give Roman Reigns a believable way to overcome Seth Rollins without diminishing either superstar’s credibility.
#2. Jacob Fatu costs Roman Reigns the World Heavyweight Championship
Perhaps one of the more shocking swerves WWE could pull at SummerSlam is having Jacob Fatu inadvertently or perhaps intentionally cost Roman Reigns the World Heavyweight Championship.
Although Jacob is once again aligned with Roman and The Bloodline after their rivalry earlier this year, there have been subtle hints that he still isn’t willing to blindly follow anyone. That independent streak could become the deciding factor in the main event.
Imagine Seth Rollins attempting to use a steel chair after the referee is down. Jacob Fatu rushes to the ringside to prevent Rollins from cheating. However, in the chaos, he accidentally wipes out Roman with a devastating superkick or Samoan Drop while trying to stop Rollins. The Visionary wouldn’t hesitate to capitalize, delivering a Stomp before pinning the Tribal Chief clean to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.
An even bigger twist would be if the Samoan Werewolf deliberately refused to save Roman Reigns after seeing an opportunity to humble his cousin. Although not an outright heel turn, it would suggest that Jacob Fatu is tired of living in the OTC’s shadow and wants to forge his own legacy rather than remain the second-most important member of The Bloodline.
The fallout would be Roman beginning to question Jacob’s loyalty, and The Bloodline could fracture from within. More importantly, Seth Rollins would leave SummerSlam as champion without needing outside help.
Thus, WWE would have another ready-made blockbuster feud between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu waiting for the months ahead. Meanwhile, Rollins moves forward as the face of the World Heavyweight Championship scene.
#1. Zilla Fatu debuts and changes the course of the main event
If WWE wants to create the biggest talking point of SummerSlam, there may be no better option than introducing Zilla Fatu.
The son of the late Umaga has generated tremendous buzz outside WWE. Also, fans have spent months speculating about when he would finally arrive on one of the company’s biggest stages. SummerSlam, with Roman Reigns competing in the night’s marquee match, would be the ideal setting for such a debut.
The timing couldn’t be better. As Roman and Seth battle in the closing moments, the referee could be knocked down following a collision. Just as Rollins appears ready to capitalize, a hooded figure jumps the barricade and attacks him with a devastating Samoan Spike. The mystery man then reveals himself to be Zilla Fatu, leaving the crowd stunned, before helping Roman retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
The debut would instantly establish Zilla as a major player while reinforcing Roman Reigns’ position at the top of WWE. Seth Rollins would immediately have another rival to deal with. Meanwhile, The Bloodline could gain a powerful new member capable of carrying the faction into its next chapter. Also, the debut would ensure that the SummerSlam main event is remembered long after the final bell.
Considering WWE’s recent emphasis on surprise debuts and major post-match angles, a blockbuster arrival like Zilla Fatu wouldn’t feel out of place.
