The Rock did not advise Solo Sikoa to start his own Bloodline: Who sowed the seed instead?

Ever since WWE Bad Blood, fans have been under the impression that Solo Sikoa and The Rock are working together. After all, The Street Champion himself admitted that The Final Boss' return was "part of the plan." However, theories of their partnership have reached a point where some are suggesting that it was Rocky who advised Sikoa to start his own Bloodline. What if that is not the case? What if someone else had sown the seed long before Rock was in the picture?

Well, taking a look back in time, there is a strong possibility of this being true. Yes, The Rock and Solo Sikoa are planning something, but it may have actually been Solo's own brother Jimmy Uso who gave him the idea of becoming the new Tribal Chief. All you have to do is look back to the June 2, 2023 episode of SmackDown. Back when The Usos were beefing with the then-Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.

In the episode, Jey and Jimmy Uso crashed Roman Reigns' 1000-day title celebration. Jimmy then proceeded to call Roman crazy and warned everyone, including Solo Sikoa about the consequences of staying loyal to him. He told Sikoa that Reigns would use him, abuse him, manipulate him, betray him, kick him to the side, and put him in the dirt. So, all things considered, it could have been these very words that drove Solo to become his own Tribal Chief.

If this is true, the irony will not be lost on Jimmy or Solo. Especially now considering they find themselves on opposite ends of the ring, with Jimmy acknowledging Roman as the Original Tribal Chief. But, at the end of the day, this is nothing more than speculation.

Solo Sikoa now has to worry about Sami Zayn allying with Roman Reigns

Ever since he took over The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa has ruled with an iron fist. Regardless of who has challenged him as Tribal Chief he has come out on top. Granted, there have been a few bumps along the way, what with Roman Reigns' return at SummerSlam, and Jimmy Uso's at Bad Blood, but he has had little to worry about.

Even the combined forces of Roman Reigns, Jimmy, and Jey Uso were not enough to stop him at Bad Blood. But, that could all be about to change. This week on SmackDown, The Honorary Uce Sami Zayn is set to have a meeting with The OTC and the rest of the OG Bloodline. Should he decide to ally with them, Solo will certainly have a problem on his hands.

With that in mind, it will be interesting to see what Sikoa plans to do this Friday. Will he try to put an end to the meeting? Will he attempt to put the OG Bloodline completely out of commission? We will just have to wait and see.
