The Bloodline storyline is the most enchanting one currently existing in the SmackDown division. From Solo Sikoa’s unforeseen heel turn to the arrival of Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and Jacob Fatu in the faction, Paul Heyman’s beat down, the trajectory has strategically been moving toward the eventual civil war. The much-awaited return of Roman Reigns and The Rock will possibly get the ball rolling. Amidst these circumstances, the real-life Bloodline member Rikishi sends a direct message to the WWE Universe regarding the real intentions of some of his family members.
Rikishi interfered in the Bloodline storyline with a cryptic message
Tonight on SmackDown, Solo Sikoa cut a fiery promo against the Tribal Chief. He put the blame on the former Universal Champion for losing the gold at Mania and made it clear that he’s worthier than Reigns to claim the crown. Meanwhile, the minute work of the camera made fans notice some cryptic facial reactions of Jacob Fatu. While the speculation of another betrayal inside the family already started gaining pace, Sikoa’s father, WWE veteran Rikishi, chimed in on the affairs noting on Twitter, ‘Some family members’ intentions are not for the family but for their own. ‘

However, before the civil war, it seems Sikoa had to face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed Universal title.
Cody Rhodes vs Solo Sikoa is slated to take place at SummerSlam
Cody Rhodes agreed to face Sikoa for the WWE Undisputed championship match at SummerSlam. He stated that due to Nick Aldis’s absence on SmackDown tonight, the official announcement couldn’t take place, but Sikoa should take it as official. Following this, The American Nightmare hastily proceeded to get things done tonight instead, which resulted in another Bloodline assault upon him and the Viper.

The last time Rhodes and Bloodline met in the ring was during WrestleMania 40, where the vicious faction received a defeat. Given how the new Tribal Chief promised to bring it back to the family at the SmackDown prior to the Money in the Bank., it will be riveting to see how and when he proves his words right, giving a new direction to the Bloodline storyline.
