One big thing: Solo Sikoa attacks Paul Heyman on SmackDown
The Bloodline saga took a shocking turn on Friday’s SmackDown when Solo Sikoa, the self-proclaimed “Tribal Heir,” brutally attacked Paul Heyman.
• Sikoa dropped Heyman with a Samoan Spike
• Jacob Fatu put Heyman through the announcer’s table
• The attack came after Heyman refused to acknowledge Sikoa as the new leader
Why it matters
This betrayal marks a significant shift in The Bloodline’s power structure, potentially setting the stage for:
• A new era of leadership under Solo Sikoa
• Roman Reigns‘ eventual return and reaction
• Paul Heyman’s future role (or lack thereof) in WWE storylines
The Anoa’i family reacts
Rikishi, Solo Sikoa’s father and WWE Hall of Famer, seemingly approved of the attack, tweeting:
“ITS DONE!”
This reaction aligns with Rikishi’s previous support of Sikoa’s actions, including the ejection of Jimmy Uso from The Bloodline.
The bigger picture
Solo Sikoa’s power grab comes amidst significant changes in The Bloodline:
• Roman Reigns’ absence following his WrestleMania 40 loss to Cody Rhodes
• The addition of new members Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and Jacob Fatu
• Paul Heyman’s growing unease with Sikoa’s decisions
What’s next?
• Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso’s return dates remain unknown
• Potential confrontations between Sikoa’s new faction and the original Bloodline members
• Questions about Paul Heyman’s future in WWE storylines
