Solo Sikoa proclaimed himself the new Tribal Chief of The Bloodline amid Roman Reigns' absence from WWE. However, a wrestling veteran thinks another superstar should replace him.
The superstar in question is none other than Jacob Fatu. The 279 lb Samoan Werewolf joined the Stamford-based company earlier this year to become part of Sikoa's version of The Bloodline. He is currently the personal enforcer of the former NXT North American Champion. Nevertheless, Matt Morgan thinks the 32-year-old should play a bigger role.
Speaking on the Gigantic Pop podcast, the former TNA World Tag Champion claimed Fatu should replace Sikoa as the "pretend Tribal Chief," pointing out that the legit Tribal Chief is still Roman Reigns:
"Jacob should be the pretend Tribal Chief for now. I agree. It's pretend because it's really Roman, right?" Morgan said. [38:41 - 38:48]
Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa will face Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns at WWE Bad Blood
Last night on SmackDown, Cody Rhodes defeated Solo Sikoa in a Steel Cage Undisputed WWE Championship match. After the fight, The Bloodline attacked him until Roman Reigns returned to fight them off.
Later that night, Sikoa and Jacob Fatu challenged The Original Tribal Chief and The American Nightmare to a tag team match at Bad Blood. Although the latter initially claimed he would not sign the contract for the square-off, he changed his mind after he and Reigns were attacked again by Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa in the show's final segment. After The Original Tribal Chief signed the contract, Rhodes did the same to make the match official.
Reigns and Rhodes are not the best of friends. It would be interesting to see if they would be able to work together when they square off against The Bloodline at Bad Blood.
