Solo Sikoa lost to Roman Reigns in Tribal Combat last night on WWE RAW. After the match, The Rock had a moment with the leader of the new Bloodline backstage.
The OTC finally retrieved the Ula Fala after beating Sikoa on RAW's debut episode on Netflix. After the match, The Rock headed to the ring to place the Ula Fala around his cousin's neck. The People's Champ then shook the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion's hand and hugged him. While The Final Boss' reaction to Reigns' victory was seen on screen, his interaction with Sikoa was not.
The 52-year-old legend waited at Gorilla for the former NXT North American Champion to return after the match to greet him. He hugged his 31-year-old cousin and told the latter that he loved The Street Champion before leaving. The moment was later uploaded by a fan on TikTok.

Ex-WWE star expects The Rock to fight Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 41
The Rock's unexpected babyface turn on RAW's debut episode on Netflix had led many to believe he would not compete at WrestleMania 41. Recent reports suggested The Final Boss has to do Moana reshoots around the same period as The Show of Shows, seemingly implying that he would be off the show.
Speaking on the Gigantic Pop podcast, former WWE Superstar Matt Morgan claimed that the 52-year-old legend was only doing his job of hyping RAW's transition to Netflix. He claimed the Stamford-based company could still book The Great One in a match at WrestleMania 41 against either Cody Rhodes or Roman Reigns.
The wrestling veteran also predicted that The Final Boss would go head-to-head with the OTC at The Showcase of The Immortals in Las Vegas.
"In my humble opinion, I'm just calling it now; I do think we will see [The] Rock vs. Roman at this next 'Mania. I do," he said.
It will be interesting to see if The Rock indeed battles Reigns following the OTC's win over Solo Sikoa in Tribal Combat.
