Ahead of WWE Royal Rumble 2024, LA Knight is set to square off against a top member of The Bloodline on the upcoming edition of Friday Night SmackDown.
The superstar in question is the future Tribal Chief, Solo Sikoa. The 30-year-old rising star is currently a member of The Bloodline faction alongside Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and Paul Heyman.
A few weeks ago on the Blue brand show, Reigns officially declared his successor and crowned Sikoa the title of "Tribal Heir." Last week on SmackDown, The Street Champion failed to pick up a victory over Randy Orton, and the show ended in all-out mayhem.
