Solo Sikoa continues to expand The Bloodline,
adding the dangerous Jacob Fatu to his new family on last week’s edition of SmackDown.
Coming off Fatu’s vicious assault on Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes,
WWE has officially confirmed The Bloodline acknowledgment ceremony for SmackDown in Madison Square Garden this Friday.
The evening will be special for Sikoa, who could take drastic and unexpected measures this week.
#4. Solo Sikoa removes Paul Heyman as The Wiseman
Despite rebuilding The Bloodline after Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania defeat, Solo Sikoa has repeatedly acted against Paul Heyman’s directives and guidance.
Heyman was previously held in high regard by Reigns, with his status as The Wiseman. However, the Hall of Famer has had a rocky relationship with Sikoa. The former NXT North American Champion has acted of his own volition, without due regard for Reigns or Heyman.
Budding heads with a family member is one thing, but last week, Paul Heyman asked CM Punk, an enemy of The Bloodline, for help. The Father of ECW might have to face severe repercussions.
The tensions could blow out of proportion during The Bloodline Acknowledgment Ceremony as Solo Sikoa holds a “Tribal Court” for The Wiseman unexpectedly. The Tribal Chief would make his case for removing Heyman from the group.
Eventually, fed up with Heyman’s excuses, Sikoa could remove Paul from The Bloodline, allowing Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa to pounce on The Hall of Famer.
#3. The Tribal Chief appoints Jacob Fatu as his Tribal Prince
The Bloodline Acknowledgement Ceremony on SmackDown is intended to officially welcome Jacob Fatu into the family, but Solo Sikoa could take things further by appointing Fatu as his successor or “The Tribal Prince.”
Although Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa have served longer, Fatu’s emergence changed the game last week. KO, Randy Orton, and Cody Rhodes had no answer to The Samoan Werewolf. For his loyal services, the acting Tribal Chief could reward Fatu by naming him as his successor.
Since Sikoa is in charge in Reigns’ absence and is acting without Heyman’s consult, he could comfortably make such bold decisions without repercussions from the elder members of the Anoaʻi family.
#2. The Bloodline enshrines Solo Sikoa with Roman Reigns’ garland
During his dominant run as Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns used to don a garland called the “Ula Fala” to the ring. This was a symbol of his superiority and esteemed status as The Head of The Table.
With Reigns gone for now, the garland could be passed on, or a new one could be made to honor the acting Tribal Chief. Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu, and a reluctant Paul Heyman would publicly acknowledge Solo Sikoa as the new Head of The Table by enshrining him with the garland.
In Reigns’ case, the enshrinement was officially carried out by The Wild Samoans at Hell in a Cell 2020. However, none of the elders are announced for SmackDown, so the current members of The Bloodline could do the same.
#1. Solo Sikoa publicly removes Roman Reigns from The Bloodline
Last week, Solo Sikoa boldly stated that Roman Reigns wasn’t coming back. The former Universal Champion’s absence has allowed Sikoa to take charge and call the shots.
While his actions have been questionable and in bad taste, Sikoa could do the unthinkable when he removes Reigns from The Bloodline inside Madison Square Garden. This would be easy for him as he considers his predecessor to be gone.
WWE is likely building towards a future program between Reigns and Sikoa. If Triple H wants to add some serious spice and meaning to the potential feud, then ejecting Reigns from The Bloodline is an understandable move.
