Solo Sikoa is currently getting under Cody Rhodes’ skin, but pursuing the American Nightmare is not his real motive. The former Right-hand man is leisure-focused on taking out the Tribal Chief whenever he reclaims his authority in the family. At WrestleMania 39, Reigns fell from grace dropping the title to Cody Rhodes following a 1300+ days historic reign. While the Big Dog put a commendable performance against Rhodes during the exaggerated night, Sikoa deemed him responsible for the loss. Now, as the 31-year-old is on the verge of living up to his claim to be a better chief of the family than Reigns by claiming back the title from Rhodes, a banger build-up was necessary.
Stepping ahead of the current storyline, Sikoa once again recapitulated his heat with Roman Reigns sharing an old video of the Tribal Chief.

Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa had been going hand in hand in the promotion until the creative pulled the rug in their exemplary companionship. Reigns has had issues with his twin cousins, The Usos in the past, leading up to their abandonment from the faction. So, in terms of trust, Solo Sikoa was the only one Reigns had a safe space with. Also, the way Sikoa handled the family during Reigns’ prolonged absences amazed the former Universal Champion.

Last but not least, as per the popular theory, Reigns, deep down, started to notice the signs of peril in Sikoa’s increasing strength in the faction. To mark himself safe from another rebel or betrayal, the Head of the Table announced Sikoa as the Tribal Heir (the next Tribal chief).
While his efforts didn’t bear fruit as Sikoa ultimately overcrossed his lord post WrestleMania, he is currently smirking at the irony of the decision Reigns made. Posting a clip from that segment when Reigns hilariously dumped Jimmy Uso before crowning Sikoa as the future lord, the new Bloodline leader wrote, “It was meant to be.”

WWE and Bloodline have been synonymous with each other for a while now. The classic heel faction has come a long way, establishing its monopolistic legacy in the division. Ever since the group came into existence in the WWE realm three years back, the likes of Roman Reigns, Jimmy Usos, Jey Usos, and Solo Sikoa continued producing one after another stellar storyline, making fans crave more. Paul Heyman’s premium management skills added more power and unity to the group. But the most distinct thing about the fan-favorite stable is its dynamic motion. The affairs inside the Bloodline are far from stagnant. Being the epitome of change and diversity, it underwent a lot of splits, additions, and alterations in the process.
