New Bloodline gets intimidated by current champion as they take out two top superstars on SmackDown

The New Bloodline and Solo Sikoa made a massive statement following their loss at Survivor Series: WarGames. Two former US Champions were taken out as the "Tribal Chief" made a statement. However, they were also intimidated by a current titleholder.

On SmackDown this week, we saw the new United States Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura, come out after his incredible win at Survivor Series over LA Knight. Unsurprisingly, LA Knight came out immediately after him. The person who followed was a bit surprising - it was another former US Champion, Andrade.

Before much could be said, LA Knight and Andrade were taken out by The New Bloodline's Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga. While they tried surrounding Shinsuke Nakamura, he told them of the liquid in his mouth, which he uses to mist people's eyes. Knowing this, the intimidated New Bloodline backed out.

After he left, Solo Sikoa made a statement of intent, letting people know that he was still the Tribal Chief and possessed the Ula Fala.

This seemed to be less about the United States Championship and more about making a statement for Solo Sikoa's group. He stated that even though two soldiers (Tonga Loa and Bronson Reed) were out, he wasn't stopping his reign of terror.

It was meant to be a statement of intent, and it worked.

What lies ahead for them will be interesting to see.
