This Friday's episode of WWE SmackDown will be the final stop before Clash at the Castle 2024. The first-ever televised WWE show from Scotland will feature Kevin Owens vs. Solo Sikoa, which is likely to be the main event.
The Stamford-based promotion may have planned the debuts of Jacob Fatu and Hikuleo to make the first-ever WWE SmackDown in Scotland a memorable event for the fans.
Fatu, the cousin of Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Solo Sikoa, has been rumored to join The Bloodline since April. Additionally, it is now expected that Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa's brother Hikuleo will join the faction, as his contract with NJPW expired earlier this week.
WWE has successfully established Solo Sikoa as the acting Tribal Chief and Tama Tonga as his Right-Hand Man, so the company can now introduce new members without worrying about Fatu overshadowing Sikoa, as rumored a couple of weeks ago.
The Bloodline annihilated Kevin Owens on WWE SmackDown last week, and they could make him and The Street Profits worse on SmackDown before Clash at the Castle by unleashing a five-man assault on them.
If Fatu and Hikuleo join the group, it would likely complete the formation of the new Bloodline. WWE can then book them as a dominant group until the inevitable reunion of Roman Reigns, The Usos, and possibly Sami Zayn.
The Bloodline must take over WWE SmackDown before Roman Reigns returns
Roman Reigns has been on a hiatus since his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. Solo Sikoa has taken advantage of the opportunity to bring major changes to The Bloodline.
However, there is reported uncertainty backstage in the Stamford-based promotion regarding the new version of the faction. Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa are reportedly not listed as The Bloodline on the internal roster.
Triple H must urgently deal with this uncertainty because Roman Reigns could return around SummerSlam. If The Game wants to book Sikoa vs. Reigns at the Biggest Party of the Summer, he must ensure that the acting Tribal Chief reaches the level of his cousin soon to make the feud interesting.
Not only SummerSlam, but many fans are demanding a Bloodline Civil War at Survivor Series: WarGames later this year. So, for that potential match to be worthy of the event, the new Bloodline must take over WWE SmackDown by destroying its rivals like Kevin Owens, just like Roman Reigns and The Usos did during the early days of the group.
