Dwayne Johnson was last seen in WWE on Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania XL. He stepped inside the ring to acknowledge Cody Rhodes’ victory by interrupting his promo in between. Before leaving the arena, The Rock handed something over to the babyface and closed off by saying that their story was just beginning. Now that The Bloodline was in dire need of a new leader in the absence of both Roman Reigns and The Rock, Solo Sikoa stepped in.
On SmackDown 04/12, we saw the introduction of a new member to the heel faction. Now that Tama Tonga has officially been introduced to The Bloodline fans, an Anoa’i family member has also reacted to the news.

In the past, the former Bullet Club member had the opportunity to join WWE but chose to skip it. Now, he has finally joined the Stamford-based company as the newest Bloodline member, helping Solo Sikoa kick out his older Uso in the absence of another leader. This left fans wondering about where The Bloodline would go and seems like they aren’t the only ones curious.
Rikishi took to ‘X’ following Tonga’s WWE debut during Friday Night SmackDown. He reacted to the ongoing storyline by uploading an emoji of a hand holding a pen, seemingly to write something down.

This was probably the WWE legend’s way of teasing that the promotion is writing down the storyline further, making it all the more exciting for fans as the events unfold.

With his introduction to WWE, there have already been several speculations about where the promotion might be headed in the future.
Will Tama Tonga work for Dwayne Johnson?
The new WWE superstar is not of the same Anoa’i descent. However, Tonga’s Polynesian roots still allow him to fit in with the rest of his wrestling brothers in the promotion. We have already seen that Tonga likes to side with someone who is in power. Much like how he did when Solo Sikoa took over The Bloodline on SmackDown.

Similarly, whenever “Final Boss” returns to the wrestling promotion, Tonga may be ready to join his side. This is because Dwayne Johnson already seems to be the most important personality in The Bloodline. During his promo with Cody Rhodes on the red brand, his words suggested that he may be taking over the heel stable. To top it all off, The People’s Champion considers Haiku, Tonga’s adoptive father, his uncle; making the two relatives.
Do you think WWE may also involve Rikishi in this storyline?
