Why is Roman Reigns' WWE faction called the OG Bloodline? Estranged cousin Solo Sikoa explains

Solo Sikoa had taken over The Bloodline's leadership by the time Roman Reigns returned at SummerSlam 2024. While the OTC stood as a lone wolf, he did not need a name for any faction. However, as he began reuniting with The Usos and Sami Zayn, they came to be known as the 'OG Bloodline', while The Street Champion continued as the leader of 'The Bloodline'.

Well, it's known as 'OG', apparently because the OTC is the original creator of the faction. Even though he is a babyface and The Bloodline originally started as a heel stable, it still doesn't take away the fact that he put the members together to bring the group to life. However, Solo Sikoa believed there is a different reason why WWE has been referring to them as the 'OG Bloodline'.

According to the new leader, the OG Bloodline couldn't keep up with the new Bloodline, hence they are being called 'OG', which apparently translates to them being outdated. He sent a message to not only Roman Reigns but also to the entire SmackDown and RAW roster that if anyone wanted to try their luck with The Bloodline, they knew where to find them!

At the moment, Solo Sikoa has found his fifth member ahead of Survivor Series WarGames. Big Bronson Reed solidified his union with Solo Sikoa on the latest episode of WWE SmackDown by taking down Roman Reigns.

Roman Reigns suffered a huge blow on WWE SmackDown

The OTC has The Usos and Sami Zayn by his side, but he is missing the most important piece of the puzzle, The Wiseman Paul Heyman. The duo were last seen together on WWE television at WrestleMania XL, and following that, Heyman was assaulted out of The Bloodline for refusing to acknowledge Solo Sikoa.

On the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns finally decided to get in touch with The Wiseman and took out his phone to give him a ring. Unfortunately, the number was not in service anymore, and Heyman did not even give Reigns updated contact information.

A shocked Roman Reigns dropped the phone from his hand, adding another layer of drama to the unfolding Bloodline Saga. It remains to be seen whether Paul Heyman has decided to drop the OTC as his client or if The Wiseman changed his number to get farther away from Solo Sikoa.
