WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman was brutally attacked by the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline during last week's episode of Friday Night SmackDown. Former WWE personality Matt Camp recently highlighted the contrasting styles of The Street Champion of the Island and The Big Dog.
Roman Reigns has been absent since he lost the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. In his absence, Sikoa has made major changes to the dominant group. The 31-year-old kicked out Jimmy Uso and introduced Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu to The Bloodline.
During the June 28, 2024, episode of Friday Night SmackDown, the Tongan brothers and The Samoan Werewolf acknowledged Solo Sikoa as their Tribal Chief, but Paul Heyman did not. In just a matter of seconds, The Street Champion Samoan Spiked The Wiseman, which was followed by a brutal beatdown by the rest of the group members.
Speaking on his The Wrestling Matt podcast, Camp praised the interim Tribal Chief for not letting Heyman bask in the moment and immediately attacking him. The former Bump host claimed that Roman Reigns would have allowed fans to react before taking out The Wiseman.

"Paul Heyman doesn't get pops; he's not supposed to. He was in that moment, and they got it. And I loved that Solo [Sikoa] did not let him soak that even for more than a few seconds, and he put him down with the spike right there. That's the difference. Roman would have been pi**ed off. Roman would have been looking at the crowd [and asking], 'How dare you?' Solo didn't give him a chance," Camp said. [2:03-2:29]

The Bloodline will face Cody Rhodes in a tag team match at WWE Money in the Bank
The American Nightmare thought he had put an end to his feud with The Bloodline after he defeated Reigns at WrestleMania XL. However, Sikoa and the rest of the group members have once again set their sights on Cody Rhodes. The heel faction attacked the Undisputed WWE Champion at Clash at the Castle last month before Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes came to Rhodes' rescue.
Later on SmackDown, Solo Sikoa unleashed The Samoan Werewolf on the babyface trio. Jacob Fatu demolished the trio before aligning with The Bloodline. Both sides will look to settle matters inside the squared circle this weekend when they lock horns in a six-man tag team match at WWE MITB 2024.
Even though Jacob Fatu is advertised for the PLE, the Stamford-based promotion has not confirmed whether or not he will make his official in-ring debut in Toronto, Canada. It will be interesting to see if Jacob competes in the six-man tag team match this weekend.
