Following Roman Reigns’ departure from the scene, Solo Sikoa took over the Bloodline. In the process, he expelled his brother, Jimmy Uso, from the group. Then he introduced Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa as new replacements. Then a few days ago on SmackDown, a new member of the Samoan family made his WWE debut. Jacob Fatu took on Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes. This appearance set him up as the new Enforcer of the Bloodline. A position that the Street Champion from the Island held under the leadership of Roman Reigns.
Soon after, the Tongans and Jacob Fatu recognized Solo as The Tribal Chief. But the situation changed drastically once he asked Paul Heyman to do the same. The Wise Man refused to acknowledge Solo as the Tribal Chief and even refused to put the Ula Fala around his neck. But then he paid an exorbitant price for it. He was hit with a Samoan Spike by Sikoa and later with a Triple Powerbomb on the commentators’ table by Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa.
With this, the last key to Reign’s Bloodline also got kicked out of the group. A complete revamp of the much-acclaimed faction. However, there are still rumors of other members being added to the group. While many expected either Hikuleo or Zilla Fatu to be the next additions, it seems like they got a WWE Champion as the new henchman instead. Who is it you ask? Well, it is none other than Damian Priest.

In a recent Twitter post, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion can be seen with the leader, as well as other members of the Bloodline. Something that the WWE fans believed they would never get to see. But it does seem like the inevitable truth in hindsight. Because this surely can be a great storyline going on. Recent developments in The Judgment Day indicate that this could be a possibility with cracks appearing in the group.

Having Priest turn on his faction can be great. Especially considering the latest speculation that Finn Balor might turn heel against Priest. While Dominik Mysterio may switch sides and become Liv Morgan’s Daddy Dom. A switching of factions could prove to be a coup for Priest. As we all know, the Bloodline is getting more attention than Judgment Day. So having Priest switch could prove beneficial for the group as well as the WWE superstar, as he is going through an all-time high in his career.
Damian Priest enjoys his most fruitful run yet
Since his inclusion in The Judgment Day, we have seen how Damian Priest has established himself as one of the biggest superstars within WWE. Proof of this has been the trust placed in Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque. It all started with Priest winning the Money in the Bank briefcase. The Judgment Day star is now going through the prime of his career after successfully trading his briefcase over Drew McIntyre on the second night of WrestleMania 40 and holding the title for more than 90 days.
