However, after Solo lost the Ula-Fala back to Reigns, Fatu branched out as a singles competitor and became much more popular than Solo in the process. This led to friction between the duo that finally exploded when Sikoa said the worst about Fatu behind his back, and Fatu cost him his chance at winning Money in the Bank. The duo is set to collide in singles action for the first time. However, before that happens, it is interesting to take a look at the comparison between their financial standings.

Roman Reigns WWE return: Will ‘OTC' join forces with former TNA Star to take down Seth Rollins' faction?
Roman Reigns WWE return: Roman Reigns has not been seen on WWE programming since the Raw after WrestleMania 41 in April. Fans expected him to return at Money in the Bank but that did not happen. The star is likely to return in time for SummerSlam in August. When he eventually comes back, 'OTC' may team up with a former United States champion to take out Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, who are part of Seth Rollins' faction. Roman Reigns to help LA Knight take out Seth Rollins' men? LA Knight, who was part of TNA from 2015 to 2019, suffered a vicious beatdown at the hands of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed on the latest episode of Smackdown. The assault left him with multiple 'injuries'. It also served as a reminder of how 'The Megastar' alone won't be able to take down his mighty foes. As such, he may have to find an ally. And, that ally may be none other than Roman Reigns. 'OTC' has been feuding with Seth Rollins for a while. The two even squared off in a triple threat match at 'Mania 41, which also involved CM Punk. The match, however, ended on a controversial note as Paul Heyman– Reigns' Wiseman and Punk's 'best friend'-- joined forces with 'The Visionary'. The next night, Bron Breakker joined the two and speared the former 'Big Dog' through the barricade. Given this, he has more reasons than one to help LA Knight. That said, this angle this purely speculative at the moment. Is Roman Reigns planning to retire? Roman Reigns is no longer a full-time member of the WWE roster, which means he does not need to appear on Raw and SmackDown on a weekly basis. Not too long ago, he revealed that he plans to call time on his in-ring career in another two or three years. This comes at a time when he is trying to find a foothold in Hollywood. Reigns was seen in Hobbs & Shaw and The Wrong Missy.
