With Solo increasingly comfortable standing on his own, Roman could eventually lose much more than his championship.
That said, in this article, we look at five things the OTC could lose besides his Championship if The Street Champion keeps rising.
#5. Control of The Bloodline
The Bloodline has always been one of Roman Reigns’ greatest sources of power. Even after its various fractures, Roman has re-established himself as the family’s central figure. Last week on RAW, he elevated Jey and Jimmy Uso by making them captains within the group.
However, Solo Sikoa’s continued rise could undermine that authority. Solo has already demonstrated that he no longer needs Roman’s approval. His decision to attack the World Heavyweight Champion after seemingly rejoining the family was a major statement.
If Sikoa continues defeating Roman Reigns’ allies and gaining momentum, other members of The Bloodline could question if Reigns is the best person to lead them.
That could create a power struggle that Roman cannot solve simply by demanding acknowledgment.
#4. The Usos’ loyalty
Jimmy and Jey Uso have repeatedly found themselves caught between their family and Roman Reigns’ leadership. For now, they are standing alongside Roman. WWE has even positioned them as captains within The Bloodline.
However, Solo Sikoa’s rise could complicate that relationship. The Usos have already experienced what happens when Bloodline politics become toxic. If Roman becomes increasingly obsessed with destroying Solo, Jey and Jimmy could eventually decide that they do not want to participate in another family war.
Sikoa’s independence could also make him more appealing to them if he presents himself as someone who wants to break away from Roman’s hierarchy. Thus, if either Uso begins questioning Reigns’ decisions, the champion could find himself losing the very family members who helped rebuild his faction.
#3. His aura of dominance
Roman Reigns’ greatest weapon has never been just his championship. It has been his aura.
For years, opponents have entered matches knowing they were facing WWE’s most dominant superstar. That psychological advantage helped establish Roman as the face of The Bloodline and one of the company’s most intimidating figures.
Solo Sikoa has seemingly delivered a serious blow to that perception. The image of Solo standing up to Reigns and hitting him with a Samoan Spike gives WWE a powerful visual: someone from Roman’s own family is no longer afraid of him.
If Sikoa keeps getting the better of the OTC in confrontations, the aura could gradually disappear. Once opponents stop fearing Roman Reigns, defeating him becomes much easier.
#2. His influence over RAW
Roman Reigns’ position as World Heavyweight Champion gives him considerable influence on Monday Night RAW.
The OTC is currently at the center of the World Heavyweight Championship picture, with a tournament underway to determine his next challenger. WWE has confirmed that the eventual winner will face Reigns when RAW returns to Mexico City on September 14.
However, Solo Sikoa’s escalating conflict with Roman could force the champion to spend more time dealing with internal problems. Instead of controlling the show, Reigns could find himself reacting to Solo’s attacks and decisions.
That would be a major change. Sikoa has already shown that he can disrupt Roman Reigns’ plans without needing the championship. Thus, if he continues appearing on RAW, attacking Roman, and aligning with other major stars, his presence could become just as important to the show’s direction.
Roman may still hold the title, but Solo could gradually seize the spotlight.
#1. Roman Reigns could lose his position as the family’s unquestioned leader
This is ultimately the biggest thing Roman Reigns could lose. The championship can be won back. The Bloodline can potentially be rebuilt.
However, once Roman’s family stops viewing him as the unquestioned leader, restoring that authority could be almost impossible.
Solo Sikoa has challenged that hierarchy before. However, his latest betrayal feels different because Reigns had just attempted to bring him back into the fold. Instead of accepting the OTC’s authority, Solo rejected it spectacularly.
That could set the stage for another major family conflict. If Sikoa continues rising while Roman Reigns struggles to contain him, the WWE Universe could eventually witness a battle over something far more important than the World Heavyweight Championship.
It could become a fight over who truly deserves to lead the family. Roman Reigns may currently be the champion and the most powerful member of The Bloodline. However, if Solo Sikoa keeps rising, the OTC could soon discover that his greatest threat is not the man trying to take his title. It could be the family member trying to take his place.
