The Bloodline is scheduled to take on Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens in a six-man tag team match at Money in the Bank 2024. The premium live event will emanate from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada, on July 6.
Recently, Jacob Fatu made his WWE debut on SmackDown, taking out Orton, Owens, and Rhodes to protect Solo Sikoa. While Fatu is widely expected to play a vital role in the bout's outcome, WWE can also bring in a new member of The Bloodline at Money in the Bank, Hikuleo (possibly under the ring name Talla Tonga).
Hikuelo has held the Strong Openweight Championship once, the Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship twice, and the IWGP Tag Team Title once in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

If Jacob Fatu doesn't compete in the six-man tag team match, the babyface trio may try to get him banned from ringside. However, if he isn't banned from the arena, Orton, Rhodes, and Owens will likely be prepared to counter Fatu's inevitable interference. Hence, The Bloodline may bring in Hikuleo to outnumber its rivals and potentially gain an advantage over them.
If the Solo Sikoa-led team wins the match due to Hikuleo's potential interference, the rivalry between the top heels and babyfaces of WWE SmackDown can be extended until SummerSlam 2024. At The Biggest Party of the Summer, the Stamford-based promotion can finally book Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
WWE legend showers praise on The Bloodline storyline
The Bloodline started in 2020 with Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Paul Heyman. Solo Sikoa joined the faction at Clash at the Castle 2022. The group's storyline has since witnessed numerous twists and turns. Amid Reigns' absence, Sikoa has declared himself the new Tribal Chief.
WWE legend Bully Ray recently took to social media to praise the storyline. He further mentioned how no pro wrestling company had narrated such a compelling tale in the past.
"The level of storytelling going on w/ the Bloodline is unmatched by anyone or any company in the entire wrestling industry."
On last week's SmackDown, Paul Heyman refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief, resulting in his stablemates powerbombing the Hall of Famer through the announce desk. It will be interesting to see how Reigns will respond to the assault on his Wiseman.
