WWE Monday Night RAW tonight was monumental. The red brand debuted on Netflix, and the show was massive. It felt like a WrestleMania or a premium live event as opposed to a standard weekly show.

While the night was amazing for a lot of talent, it didn't go great for The New Bloodline. Solo Sikoa went one-on-one with Roman Reigns in Tribal Combat, but in the end, The OTC stood tall.

This loss was devastating for the group. Not only was it a blow to their morale, but now Solo can no longer call himself The Tribal Chief. He lost the Ula Fala, and the group's future is very much up in the air.

Now, the question is, what comes next for The New Bloodline? This article will break down a handful of directions for the stable following their devastating defeat, which could include a new leader for the group, a major swerve, and a change of scenery.

Below are four directions for The New Bloodline following WWE RAW's Netflix premiere.


#4. They could move to WWE RAW full-time

The WWE Transfer Window is in effect, although details aren't quite clear in terms of how long it will last. For those unaware, the Transfer Window means stars can move from RAW, SmackDown, and NXT to help shake up the rosters in time for RAW's major move to Netflix.

With the move now official, wrestlers jumping ship will likely be finalized soon. So far, only a handful of names have truly teased changing brands, but The New Bloodline could be the ones who do exactly that. More specifically, the group could go from WWE SmackDown to RAW.

This would allow them a fresh start and one away from Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, at least in theory. It could also give them new titles and champions to chase, which could mean new accolades coming their way.


#3. Jacob Fatu could kick Solo Sikoa out of The New Bloodline

Solo Sikoa taking over The New Bloodline was supposed to mean big things for the WWE stable. He brought in Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa, three stars who were allegedly banned from the family due to their ruthlessness.

Unfortunately, Solo Sikoa's group hasn't quite lived up to the expectations many had for them in WWE. While they've caused plenty of destruction and held the tag team titles briefly, the group struggled to win singles gold and couldn't dethrone Cody Rhodes of his world title.

Solo's leadership may be the problem, and the other members may realize this. In what could be a shocking moment, Jacob Fatu may turn on Solo and take over the group. From there, Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and perhaps others could try to dominate.


#2. They could recruit new members

The New Bloodline technically features four members, but the status of a fifth is unclear. Solo Sikoa leads the WWE faction alongside Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. Bronson Reed is either a hired gun for the group or joined, but he was injured quickly, and his status remains unclear.

Along with Bronson's injury, Tonga Loa also suffered an unfortunate injury, which means Solo, Jacob, and Tama are the remaining active members. To try to correct The New Bloodline's direction in WWE, the remaining stars may try to recruit new names.

Hikuleo, the younger, but bigger brother of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, has been signed. Lance Anoa'i, a family member and close associate of Jacob Fatu, has also signed with the promotion. Either man could join the stable while they await the returns of their injured brothers.


#1. The Rock could reveal he's been the leader this entire time

The Rock also appeared on WWE RAW tonight. In what was a surprising twist, The Final Boss seemingly turned babyface in the opening segment, acknowledging Cody Rhodes. Later on in the show, he paid respect to Roman Reigns.

It all seemed quite fishy, though. Why was he acting so different? Sure, it could have been a babyface turn, but this could all actually be part of a bigger plan. The Final Boss may be working with and outright leading The New Bloodline with plans to take down their opposition.

Most notably, Roman may still end up getting attacked by The Rock soon on WWE programming. He could reveal that he's been working with Solo to tear down Roman Reigns and everything he built, leading to a major WrestleMania match. Could Solo, Tama, Jacob, and Tonga be working with The Final Boss?
