It wouldn’t be a stretch to call The Bloodline storyline one of the best in pro-wrestling’s recent memory. For months, the faction has kept fans hooked with numerous twists and turns. While there was a brief lull just after The Usos lost their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 39, events in the last few weeks have proved how good it can get if done the right way.
On the last episode of SmackDown, Roman Reigns’ faction officially crumbled in front of his eyes. The twins broke away from the Samoan family stable after leaving The Tribal Chief reeling in pain- both emotionally and physically. More than 24 hours later, they broke their silence on the “betrayal”. But not just them, two other superstars, who share a relation with the faction, also responded.

After all the drama in the last few episodes involving The Bloodline, Jey Uso practically had two choices. He could either ‘fall in line’ as predicted by Reigns himself, or he could join his renegading twin, Jimmy. Jey took the second option, and with that, The Bloodline ceased to exist. Not just Reigns, at the receiving end of The Usos wrath was Solo Sikoa, a Reigns loyalist.
Just after getting hit, the spectators filled the air with chants of “You deserve it”, telling Roman Reigns that the beat down he received was justified. The Usos seemed to agree. They tweeted the same and said it wasn’t a betrayal.
It’s not “Betrayal”…

Meanwhile, Sami Zayn, a former member of the stable, who turned on Reigns in the past to partially engineer the demolition, had a very interesting reply.

On the other hand, Sikoa, the real-life brother of the twins, wasn’t happy with what transpired inside the ring on Friday night. He vowed to exact revenge.

Sikoa will have his chance at revenge after the WWE’s announcement following the latest episode of SmackDown.
What’s next in store for Roman Reigns and his Bloodline?
The 38-year-old Undisputed WWE Universal Champion has his job cut out for him. At the Money In The Bank PLE, Reigns and Sikoa will face the former Tag team champions. Both teams will look to win the contest- The Usos to assert that their revolt was justified as they felt belittled by Reigns on numerous occasions and Reigns to keep his credibility as the top champion in WWE intact.
The PLE is scheduled for July 1 at the O2 Arena in London. It leaves both teams with a fortnight to prepare for the bout. Meanwhile, fans would also be interested to see what strategy Paul Heyman, the Wise Man of The Bloodline, comes up with.

Previously, he was seen negotiating a deal with other tag teams before The Night of Champions. Reigns and Sikoa clashed with Zayn and Kevin Owens at the PLE in Saudi Arabia.
However, that didn’t materialize as Jimmy Uso inadvertently cost his former stable the match. Later, he turned on Reigns, signaling the start of the end of the stable.
