In the first episode of the blue brand after the fortieth edition of the Showcase of the Immortals came the debut of Tama Tonga. The former New Japan Pro-Wrestling superstar recently signed a contract with the federation based in the city of Stamford.
Tama sided with Solo Sikoa, forming a sort of “new” Bloodline, and brutally attacked Jimmy Uso, who was ousted from the group. So now it looks like the Bloodline is being reshaped, and it would be a really interesting storyline. And apparently, Paul Heyman agrees as well, as he recently showed his support for this theory through social media.

WWE on X recently uploaded a clip from the last edition of SmackDown on their WWE website. In the previous edition, not only was Jimmy Uso ousted from the group, but Tama Tonga hinted at a new Tribal Chief as he said that the orders to attack Uso came from the head of the Bloodline. But the orders weren’t from Roman Reigns. This led to the theory of a new bloodline, as the caption of the post read as well. And it seems like Paul Heyman agrees as he has reposted it on his official X account.

So it looks like WWE has started work for the next feud for Roman Reigns. While Cody Rhodes might be occupied protecting himself and his belt from the Rock. The WWE might build a storyline with the new Bloodline going against Roman Reigns. This would also give Roman Reigns a chance to turn face again after years of playing heel. As for the new member Tonga, he is being highly appreciated by the company.
