Jacob Fatu has been on rough grounds with Solo Sikoa since The Street Champion returned on the February 7, 2025 episode of SmackDown. The Samoan Werewolf had been running the show during Sikoa's hiatus and wasn't too comfortable with the former NXT North American Champion expecting to be handed over the reins.
On the Road to WrestleMania, fans have noticed that the issues between Jacob Fatu and Sikoa continued to spiral. The Samoan Werewolf may have confirmed Tama Tonga's stance despite the ongoing power struggle.

The Samoan Werewolf reacted to the milestone on social media, showing that he considers Tonga his blood. The bond between the two strengthened through working together in The Bloodline and winning the WWE Tag Team Championship from DIY!
The Samoan Werewolf indicated he would win the United States Championship without Solo Sikoa
On March 28, 2025, in an episode of WWE SmackDown, Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga confronted Jacob Fatu backstage. During the segment, The Street Champion asked The Samoan Werewolf to lower his voice when addressing The Bloodline members.
Finally, Jacob Fatu ended the segment by letting Solo Sikoa know he would win the United States Championship with or without The Street Champion. It would look like Fatu addressed both Bloodline members, but he pointed at Tama Tonga when he said "with you" and Sikoa when he said "without you."
Usually, no one would think to decipher it further, but since this is WWE, there is a hidden message in almost everything!
Tama Tonga might blame Solo Sikoa for their loss against Randy Orton and LA Knight
On April 11, 2025, in an episode of WWE SmackDown, Tonga and Sikoa teamed up against Randy Orton and LA Knight. Before the match's closing moments, The Street Champion executed a Samoan Spike on The Megastar before dragging The Viper away from the ring.
However, The Apex Predator had already used an RKO on Tonga before being dragged away. Knight recovered from the Spike and used another RKO on The Bloodline member before pinning Tama Tonga.
Tama can blame Solo Sikoa for the loss by claiming that Solo Sikoa should have been around the ring to help him rather than brawl with The Apex Predator elsewhere!
