On the May 10th, 2024 edition of WWE Smackdown, there was a huge segment that could lead to major implications within the Bloodline faction, and could highly advance the storyline.
In recent weeks, Solo Sikoa has been adding new members into the faction, without permission from the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. These new members are two former members of Bullet Club in Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa. They are also real-life brothers, being the sons of Haku, and were both a part of the G.O.D faction that the two founded.
He also kicked his brother, Jimmy Uso, out of the faction on the Smackdown after Wrestlemania. That move will also have huge implications in the future as Jimmy Uso was a pivotal factor in Roman’s bloodline.
On last night’s Smackdown, Solo Sikoa mentioned Roman Reigns, and his words had even the Wiseman Paul Heyman shocked.
Heyman’s Disapproval
In recent weeks, Paul Heyman has been somewhat disapproving of what Solo Sikoa has been doing to the Bloodline faction as he has been making changes without Roman’s permission. This includes kicking out Jimmy Uso and then replacing him with Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa.
This has gone so far that Paul even looked to Jey Uso for help, someone whom he has become bitter rivals with over the past year due to their time together in the Bloodline.
Heyman is someone who had been alongside Roman Reigns since mid-2020 before The Bloodline was even a faction. Roman appointed him the Wiseman of the Bloodline and he is the only original member left in the faction besides Reigns.

What did Solo Tell Paul?
On this episode of Smackdown, Paul Heyman finally explained to Solo that he cannot make changes without the Tribal Chief’s permission. He explained to Solo that he is only Roman Reigns’ Wiseman and nothing has changed.
However, Solo gave Paul a response that no one in the WWE Universe was expecting. He stated that Roman Reigns told Solo that he could call the shots during his departure, something that left the Wiseman speechless.
This is something that seems to be a lie for Sikoa to get Paul completely on his side before Roman’s eventual return. The plan seems to be for Roman Reigns to turn face for the first time since April 2020, and this storyline could even lead to a reunion of the original Bloodline.
What’s Next for The Bloodline?
Roman Reigns has been rumored to have his next appearance on the Go-home Smackdown before Summerslam 2024. It seems as if the plan is to have the original Bloodline faction against what is Solo’s new Bloodline.
Even though it seems like Solo Sikoa has deemed himself the new Tribal Chief of the Bloodline, there is another man who could be behind this entire plan, that being The Final Boss, The Rock. It has also been rumored that the Rock will face Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at Summerslam, which could also very well be the show that Roman makes his awaited return.
There could also be a chance that Solo looks to expand the faction more, potentially bringing in Jacob Fatu, Zilla Fatu, and Hikuleo, all of whom will be free agents by June.
Can Jey Uso trust Roman Reigns?
This plan would require a reconnection between Jey Uso and his two relatives who betrayed him but is certainly something that would make sense. Jey already explained to his brother Jimmy that he knows there is still good in him and he would have no problem teaming up with him again.
The main concern would however be the relationship between Jey Uso and Roman Reigns. Jey made it clear during their 2023 Summerslam feud that he no longer trusts his cousin and that he is done being manipulated by him. However, there is a good chance that Jey puts those feelings aside as he still knows that Roman is blood.
There could also be a chance that Roman Reigns recruits Sami Zayn for what could be a potential 4 vs 4 showdowns, a situation in which he would also have to gain his trust back as well.
