WWE Superstar Solo Sikoa has taken over the leadership responsibilities of The Bloodline in the absence of Roman Reigns. The Enforcer recently shared his reaction on social media to a major announcement regarding the heel faction.
The Head of the Table has yet to appear on television following his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. Amid Reigns' hiatus, Solo has made sure that The Bloodline continues to be a dominant force on the blue brand. The 31-year-old has found able support from his recent recruits to the heel faction: Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
After months of speculation, Jacob Fatu made his debut last week on SmackDown, further strengthening the group. It was recently announced that The Bloodline Acknowledgement Ceremony will be held on SmackDown this Friday at Madison Square Garden to seemingly officially welcome The Samoan Werewolf into the group.
Sikoa recently took to Instagram Stories to reshare Paul Heyman's update regarding the announcement. Here is a screengrab of the Instagram Story:
WWE personality believes fellow Bloodline member should face Roman Reigns ahead of Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa faced Cody Rhodes in a singles match last week on SmackDown. The Bloodline members Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa attacked the American Nightmare to cut the contest short. However, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton made their way to the ring to help out the Undisputed WWE Champion.
This was when Jacob Fatu made his much-anticipated debut and decimated the babyfaces. Speaking on the Notsam Wrestling podcast following Fatu's strong showing, WWE analyst Sam Roberts stated that the 32-year-old might be the perfect opponent for Roman Reigns to embark on his journey to stop Sikoa's dominance:
"If this is played right, I think what you've got is the inevitability of Roman Reigns returning to try to get that power back from Solo Sikoa, to try to stop Solo Sikoa's absolute reign of terror that he's been on, but in order to stop Solo Sikoa, what we need to do is see that face-off between Jacob Fatu and Roman Reigns," said Sam Roberts.

The Sikoa-led Bloodline is set to face the team of Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens at the Money in the Bank premium live event in a six-man tag team match. It will be interesting to see which team comes out on top in Toronto on July 6.
