Kevin Sullivan believes that Roman Reigns is primed for a babyface run when he makes his return to WWE TV. Reigns has been off TV since he lost to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. In the meantime, Solo Sikoa has been taking control of the Bloodline as he kicked out Jimmy Uso and brought in Tama Tanga and Tanga Loa. Sullivan shared his thoughts on what’s next for Reigns on his Tuesday with the Taskmaster show, and you can see highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):

On Reigns’ eventual return: “To me, it looks like [Reigns] is gonna return as a babyface [but] not right away. They’ll have an elaborate story [featuring] Roman, The Rock, and The Bloodline — and I even can see Cody [Rhodes] involved in that.”

On WWE building out the storyline slowly: “I think anticipation is greater than reality. They left themselves like a magician over a trap door. They can go up or down with it. And Cody, in my mind, has to be involved in that somewhere.”
