    Roman Reigns made his presence felt this week on RAW, where he addressed the elephant in the room. The OTC talked about how Royce Keys and OTM have been wreaking havoc lately and have become the biggest problem for them. He vowed to tackle the 946 problem by himself and soon after that, Adam Pearce announced a blockbuster six-man tag team match between The Bloodline and 946 for next week’s RAW. But there was a big twist in the story.

    Just when The Usos were pleasantly surprised, thinking Reigns would team up with them, the OTC dropped a bombshell. He made it clear that he would not be the one teaming up with them and instead revealed Solo Sikoa as The Usos’ partner. The WWE Universe was left surprised, as no one expected Roman to bring up his former enforcer into the fold. But the OTC may have also cleverly evaded facing Royce Keys and OTM himself.

    Here are three reasons Roman Reigns is not teaming up with The Usos against 946 on RAW:

    #3. He’s operating as The Tribal Chief

    As the undisputed head of the table, Roman Reigns carries himself with a distinct aura of authority that separates him from others. He does not dive into the mud himself every time to tackle his problems, as the champ operates on a whole different level. One of the major reasons Roman isn’t fighting against 946 next week is because of his high-profile position and supreme authority.

    Reigns is seemingly well aware of the fact that he has people who are enough to take care of Royce Keys and OTM, which doesn’t necessarily require his involvement. A Tribal Chief does not lower himself to fight every single battle on weekly television. Physical brawls with rising groups like 946 are beneath his station unless they directly threaten his supreme status or championship gold.

    Therefore, Roman Reigns apparently wants to reinforce his psychological dominance and power dynamic by forcing The Usos and Solo Sikoa to handle the dirty work. The OTC not getting involved in the match is a bold message that he rules through absolute influence rather than dealing with every other superstar by himself.

    #2. Providing space for Solo Sikoa’s return

    One of the major reasons Roman Reigns is not stepping into a match with 946 is to let Solo Sikoa handle things on his own. For the past few months, the OTC has made several attempts to get Sikoa back into The Bloodline. However, he failed every single time. But this time, 946 has created an opening that naturally paves the way for The Street Champion’s return to the family.

    Solo Sikoa has been one of the victims of Royce Keys & OTM, and he has been looking for revenge. By stepping aside and letting The Street Champion team up with The Usos, Roman gifted Sikoa the ultimate platform for immediate redemption and revenge. This booking choice keeps Reigns at the center of the narrative as the mastermind orchestrating the family’s moves.

    This sets the stage for Solo Sikoa’s return to The Bloodline, building the bridge that was long missing. By stepping aside, Roman Reigns brilliantly orchestrated a strategic reunion that serves multiple purposes for the family. This would allow Sikoa to channel his intense aggression against 946 while building a soft corner for The Bloodline members.

    #1. Roman Reigns’ part-time schedule

    The most logical and realistic reason Roman Reigns has evaded the tag team match against 946 is his part-time status. The Tribal Chief operates under a lucrative part-time schedule tailored specifically for top-tier premium live events and selective weekly episodes. Showing up on every single episode of RAW to wrestle tag team matches goes entirely against the carefully managed scarcity that makes Reigns’ appearance feel monumental.

    While he did show up this week to build his upcoming title match against LA Knight, there is a possibility that Roman Reigns would miss the RAW after Money in the Bank. His active calendar dictates that he cannot commit to weekly appearances or regular wrestling matches without diluting his blockbuster appeal. Hence, Reigns’ part-time schedule could be the reason behind his not competing next week on RAW.

    Moreover, WWE seemingly wants to avoid a direct confrontation between Roman Reigns and 946 at this point. The company is apparently saving it for a monumental moment, perhaps an upcoming premium live event that would generate more buzz rather than featuring it on a random episode of RAW.
