Roman Reigns, former WWE Universal Champion, is rumored to form a surprising partnership with Jacob Fatu at the upcoming WWE SummerSlam event, according to respected insider Bill Apter. This possible Jacob Fatu WWE SummerSlam alliance could bring a major shift in the ongoing Bloodline storyline, following months of absence for Reigns after the drama that unfolded during WrestleMania 41 and on the following RAW episode.
Roman Reigns’ Hiatus and WrestleMania 41 Fallout
Roman Reigns has not appeared on WWE programming since the Monday Night RAW that followed WrestleMania 41. The storyline saw Reigns betrayed by long-time advisor Paul Heyman during the epic WrestleMania 41 event, after which Heyman sided with Seth Rollins. In the aftermath, Reigns was taken out by Bron Breakker and Rollins on RAW, marking his absence from television.
Speculation Around SummerSlam Return and Potential Alliance
Hall of Fame wrestling journalist Bill Apter suggested an intriguing return for Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. Speaking on WrestleVotes Q&A with Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Apter shared his insights and predicted that Reigns might shift his focus from his contested rivalry with Seth Rollins to join forces with another former Bloodline member, Jacob Fatu.
“I think we’re gonna see him make an appearance at SummerSlam. It might be unannounced but I think there’s gonna be something to do with him in a positive way, with Jacob Fatu. With him helping out Jacob Fatu. I’m gonna call them the SSP, the Samoan Superpowers and that’s what I think is gonna happen. He’s gonna ally himself with Jacob Fatu,”

Apter’s comments highlight the cyclical nature of the Bloodline saga, with the storyline beginning with Reigns and potentially concluding with his guidance. The formation of what Apter calls the “Samoan Superpowers” would represent a return to family, with Reigns stepping away from ongoing feuds to concentrate on his roots.
