Solo Sikoa has slowly taken control of The Bloodline ever since WrestleMania 40 ended. The last two weeks, however, may have fully cemented his role as he made a stunning decision against Roman Reigns tonight that will change the Samoan faction forever.
Everyone was waiting to hear Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline's follow-up to attacking Paul Heyman last week. It looks like it was a strategic move meant to isolate Roman Reigns in his absence and the previous enforcer of The Bloodline and, new leader, Sikoa has been taking major steps.
In the final promo on WWE SmackDown, before the show went off the air, Solo went on about how Roman Reigns wasn't "man enough" to defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Title or his legacy against Cody Rhodes. In a shocking moment, Solo Sikoa announced that he was the new Tribal Chief.

"This is a Ula Fala. This makes me The Tribal Chief. This is not what I wanted, but this is what my family needed. Roman Reigns was not man enough to defend our title at WrestleMania. He wasn't man enough to defend our legacy against Cody Rhodes and his legacy. Therefore, he shall no longer call himself The Tribal Chief because I'm the Tribal Chief now. And I'm going to take back our WWE Undisputed Title from Cody Rhodes. And if Roman Reigns wants that back, he can try and take it from me. Because I'm going to show everyone in the Money in the Bank six-man tag match - Cody Rhodes, I'm coming for you. And you will acknowledge me." (0:04-1:27)
This will undoubtedly change the dynamics of the group forever and how things are going to play out going forward. The Bloodline will be in a six-man tag team match against Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens - with the match expected to set up Cody's WWE title defense at SummerSlam 2024.
The show ended with an incredible shot of Solo Sikoa in the middle while the new Bloodline took shape around him.
When Roman Reigns will return is yet to be seen, but fans are eagerly waiting to see what comes next in this Bloodline saga.
