Solo Sikoa has already started his voyage toward molding Bloodline 2.0 in the absence of the real needle movers, Roman Reigns and The Rock. The former Right-Hand Man of Reigns decided to move the faction forward on his terms by bringing Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa into the family. The three men have ever since spread terror to the house, cementing their authority. While many see a legit future Bloodline brewing between their newly minted alliance, it seems the majority of fans have rejected the innovative moves of Sikoa and ardently want the OG Tribal Chief back in the boots.
Roman Reigns and the Bloodline scored a massive dip at the exaggerated WrestleMania Night 2 in Philadelphia in front of Cody Rhodes‘ fated title victory. Shortly after taking the blow, The Big Dog went missing from the spotlight, leaving his family tree behind. While the recent reports suggested that The Head of The Table might forge a return as early as SummerSlam given the recent wrap-up of his Holywood endeavor, things ain’t the same in his bloodline.
During a recent SmackDown episode, Solo Sikoa turned a total rowdy from Reigns’ faithful. Without consulting with the Wise Man, he let Tama Tonga enter into the saga and cast Jimmy Uso out immediately. He continued the explorative spree by introducing Tanga Loa, another son of Haku, during Backlash 2024, in between a spectacular street fight.

Now, with Jacob Fatu seemingly being next on the line to join forces with the Samoan armies, fans showed displeasure over whatever was going on. They want nothing but the old gold days back with Roman Reigns rising to the helm.
WWE fans passed poor reviews on Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline
There has already been a lot of anticipation regarding Roman Reigns reuniting with The Usos, settling their past disputes to face off against the newly grown army under the leadership of Solo Sikoa or The Rock. While there’s no official plan on setting up that dreamed-up civil war yet, fans are ready to put the new Bloodline 2.0’s potential to the test.

Solo Sikoa used to be a fan-favorite as long as he worked in favor of his Tribal Chief. His level of expertise in the ring and his unwavering loyalty were rewarded by Reigns himself. The Big Dog named him as the next Tribal Chief/ Tribal Heir in case something happens to him in the future. Little did he know that Sikoa would overcapitalize the honor in his absence. Sensing that ditch, fans ain’t convinced of him being a replacement for Reigns. They dubbed Bloodline in his era as another random ordinary faction.
Not a fan. I get what they’re doing but I just can’t take Solo seriously as the ‘leader’ and they don’t have the same energy. Even before in weeks without Roman, The Bloodline felt like THE event of the show. Now they feel like another mid-card faction. #WeWantRoman

Many WWE viewers believe that the faction can never be the same without Roman Reigns and are thus fervently rooting for the OG Bloodline to make a comeback.
It’s not the same without Roman. And I think this new version being on SD every week takes away from the story. When Roman was around part of the excitement was when he would show up keeping us wanting more.
2.0 is not the same as the OG version— Chris (@iamchris0408) May 24, 2024
Fans believe that the 31-year-old isn’t capable of leading the Bloodline and only looked good with Roman Reigns as the head. With many terming Bloodline 2.0 as a failure, will WWE take a hint and script Roman Reigns’ comeback soon?
Another case of the sequel not being better than the original.

The social media users didn’t feel the fire like before and hence deemed the new run under the leadership of Solo Sikoa underwhelming.
It’s very underwhelming, I get what they’re trying to do BUT … #WeWantRoman☝🏽
