Solo Sikoa has taken control of The Bloodline since Roman Reigns went on hiatus, leading to speculation about a rebellion against the status quo. While Sikoa claims he has Reigns’ blessing, tensions between the two have been mounting for some time.
A significant moment in their relationship was during WrestleMania 40 when Sikoa, defending his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, took on Cody Rhodes in a Bloodline Rules Match. After Sikoa incapacitated Rhodes, he urged Reigns to finish the job, but The Tribal Chief took his time, leading to frustration in Sikoa’s eyes. This event might have convinced Sikoa to take upon himself the responsibility of restoring The Bloodline to its former glory.

Since becoming the leader, Sikoa has made significant changes to The Bloodline. He expelled Jimmy Uso and added Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa to the faction. During a recent SmackDown episode, Sikoa formally acknowledged both Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, naming Tama his Right Hand Man and dubbing Tonga Loa “The Infamous.” These changes signal a more ruthless direction for The Bloodline.
The breaking point between Sikoa and Reigns may have been WrestleMania 40, where Reigns’ casual attitude and eventual defeat led to Sikoa’s frustration. As The Bloodline moves forward, it will be intriguing to see how the story unfolds in the coming weeks.
