Roman Reigns‘ 1316-day title reign ended at WrestleMania XL, as a result, he has not appeared in WWE ever since. The former champion has retreated into another hiatus. Despite the changes that we are seeing in The Bloodline, we have received no response from The Tribal Chief. Whether he remains in charge post-hiatus is doubtful, but it seems like something is cooking behind the curtains.

Even during his break from wrestling, Reigns’ wrestling persona has not left him completely. Recently, actress and singer Keke Palmer uploaded a picture on social media hinting at what could be coming.

Roman Reigns to forge a new path for himself?

On Snapchat, Keke Palmer uploaded a story alongside the Samoan superstar. In the picture, we can see Roman Reigns sitting on a golden throne in a room filled with ladies, one of whom is holding a gold belt. The actress did not reveal the context behind the image, but this either appears to be a collaboration between the two that we don’t yet understand or a hint at a potentially new gimmick following his ‘Undisputed Champion’ era.

The belt on Keke’s shoulder could be a sample to see how everything looks overall. There are also rumors on the internet about this being a teaser for an upcoming entertainment project featuring the WWE legend. But if this is a tease to Reigns’ upcoming gimmick, it is safe to say that he will continue his Tribal Chief character. However, the people under his command could change considering that everything has turned upside down in The Bloodline. Nevertheless, the WWE Universe can remain hopeful of a Reigns comeback as The Tribal Chief himself teased a return after his defeat at the Show of Shows.

Reigns teased his return only a few hours after defeat

Following his WrestleMania XL defeat, The Big Dog uploaded a video on Twitter where he could be seen training his body. Reigns also uploaded a message for his fans that suggested that he is preparing for something big to come. On Friday Night SmackDown following Mania, we witnessed a major power shift in The Bloodline as Solo Sikoa took over the faction and kicked out Jimmy Uso, inviting a new member instead.

So, there are speculations that Sikoa won’t give up the fraction even when his older cousin returns, resulting in Reigns starting another stable with The Usos. If the image uploaded by Keke is a tease, then we will see The Tribal Chief return anew.

What do you believe the image is supposed to be foreshadowing?
