The 'Tribal Chief' is back: Roman Reigns returns to WWE at SummerSlam, spears Solo Sikoa

The real "Tribal Chief" is back.
Roman Reigns made his emphatic return back to WWE at SummerSlam on Saturday night during the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa.
The crowd erupted when his music hit and he emerged from the tunnel and made his way down the ramp. The former WWE champion then ran into the ring and delivered a Superman punch to Sikoa, who appointed himself as the "Tribal Chief" and leader of The Bloodline during Reigns' absence, and then a spear to his former enforcer before leaving the ring. Rhodes was stunned watching it happen, but Reigns did what he needed to remind people of his position in The Bloodline. The two rivals stared at each other for a lengthy time period before Reigns left the ring, leaving Rhodes to hit the Cross Rhodes and get the pin on Sikoa to retain the title.
It was Reigns first appearance in WWE since he lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Rhodes at WrestleMania 40 in April. Fans speculated he would make his return on Saturday, and now that he is back, the battle to be the "Tribal Chief" begins.
And if people have a hunch of who is in charge, Reigns' shirt said OTC, which means original tribal chief.
