“Head of the Table”: Solo Sikoa’s New Roman Reigns Related Role Explained After Tama Tonga’s Bloodline Debut

Roman Reigns went on an abrupt hiatus following his monumental loss at WrestleMania XL. Due to his absence from The Bloodline and the lack of any other elder member, Solo Sikoa took the reins of the stable. During the promo that showed Tama Tonga’s WWE debut, Sikoa’s leadership skills also shined through.

According to pro wrestling industry critic Dave LaGreca, the Bloodline member’s leadership skills deserve praise. In the absence of a leader, The Bloodline could have fallen short of the heel charm. However, since WWE wanted to continue the storyline further, Solo Sikoa, stepped up to the plate and caught everyone’s attention.

Roman Reigns’ little cousin gets attention for his new role

Tama Tonga arrived in the Stamford-based company on SmackDown after Mania as part of The Bloodline. During the entire time that the faction was in the limelight, Solo Sikoa was a visible leader. Dave LaGreca talked about the same on the Busted Open podcast. “I saw a leader. Like I saw the emergence of somebody that was by someone’s side to being front and center. Solo Sikoa, for all intents and purposes, in that segment and on that show, was the Head of the Table. At least for now, on our TV,” said the co-host.

LaGreca believes that Sikoa may not face any issues with handling the stable for the coming few weeks and months while Reigns’ hiatus lasts. The Tribal Chief would probably sit and heal his wounds until the right time to emerge comes to light. But when he finally appears, his faction might have undergone a drastic change, with almost all of its original members now gone.

This could pave the way for a storyline where The Tribal Chief might have to assemble a new group to take down his original Bloodline.

The Head of the Table could create an alternate faction to take down his own creation

After introducing Tama Tonga to the audience on the blue brand, Solo Sikoa went on to kick Jimmy Uso out of The Bloodline. When The Wise Man tried to call his Tribal Chief, Sikoa smashed the cell phone. This foreshadowed that perhaps Rikishi’s youngest son might not answer Reigns’ call when he makes his return to WWE. Moreover, the new Head of the Table could betray his older cousin whenever the time demands so.

During the same Busted Open episode, a WWE legend speculated that another wrestler from the Samoan family tree could end up joining The Bloodline. Whenever Roman Reigns returns, he might see his family broken apart, forcing him to form a new stable and feud with the Bloodline that went rogue.
