Solo Sikoa has assumed leadership of The Bloodline recently, following Roman Reigns’ absence since his defeat to Rhodes at WWE WrestleMania 40.
He has expelled Jimmy Uso from the group and added Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. The group’s evolution continued with a vicious assault on Paul Heyman during the June 28 episode of WWE SmackDown.
In a video message on the July 5 episode of WWE SmackDown, Solo Sikoa took a dig at Reigns, asserting that Reigns lacked the courage to defend their legacy or title. He declared himself as the new Tribal Chief, stating that Reigns could no longer claim that title. Sikoa announced his intent to reclaim the Undisputed WWE Championship and challenged Reigns to try and take it from him.
Sikoa concluded his message by declaring his intention to confront Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and make Rhodes acknowledge him.
“If Roman Reigns wants that back, he can try and take it from me”
It’s a new era for #TheBloodline.
