As Roman Reigns remains absent from WWE following his loss of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania XL, Solo Sikoa has stepped up to claim the leadership of The Bloodline. Sikoa has taken on the title of “Tribal Chief” and has recruited new members to the faction, including Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. However, Sikoa’s aggressive behavior towards Paul Heyman, whom he demands acknowledge him as the new Tribal Chief, has created a power vacuum within The Bloodline.
Sikoa’s actions were sparked by Heyman’s refusal to recognize him as the new Tribal Chief, leading to a physical confrontation that saw Sikoa put Heyman through the announce table on WWE SmackDown. In a cryptic message on his Instagram Story, Sikoa recalled taking the Ula Fala from Reigns during WWE’s visit to Madison Square Garden in 2023, indicating his intention to solidify his position within The Bloodline.
As Reigns remains absent, his character is being sorely missed, according to Matt Camp of The Wrestling Matt, who notes that the current champions in WWE are not being booked with a lot of intrigue. Reigns’ presence is crucial to the WWE narrative, and his absence has created a void that is difficult to fill. With Reigns expected to start a feud with Solo Sikoa upon his return to WWE, the situation is set to escalate.
The Bloodline is also scheduled to be involved in a six-man tag team match at the upcoming Money in the Bank Premium Live Event against the team of Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens. As The Bloodline navigates its new dynamic without Reigns, it remains to be seen when Reigns will return to the company and attempt to reclaim his position as the Tribal Chief.
With Sikoa at the helm of The Bloodline, the faction’s dynamics have undergone a significant shift. Sikoa’s leadership has brought about a new era for the faction, but it is unclear how long this new dynamic will last. As the situation continues to unfold, fans are left wondering when Reigns will return and reclaim his position as the leader of The Bloodline.
