WWE’s June 28 edition of Friday Night SmackDown show at Madison Square Garden ended dramatically. The heel faction of Bloodline attacked Paul Heyman, and this marked the completion of the Bloodline revamp with all former members out of the group. But what if the revamp isn’t done yet? Well, that’s what a Samoan WWE Hall of Famer suggested!
According to Rikishi Fatu, on the latest edition of his ‘Rikishi Fatu Off The Top‘ podcast, it is possible that the WWE could bring another Samoan into the WWE before they bring out the original Tribal Chief. But who is the new superstar in question?
He said, “You know, obviously, everybody’s waiting for Roman to come back. Right. To tangle with Solo, you know what I mean? And then, you know, you got to have the twins somewhere where you know they need to form up. And you got, you know, the two Tongan kids… So, where’s Jacob? You know what I mean?”

“And who comes in on the opposite side? I’m sure Paul Heyman is going to be with the Chief. And so I don’t know, maybe, maybe Lance. I know he comes in with Joe, you know. And now it’s kind of even on the opposite end.”
Yes, Lance Anoa’i could potentially support Reigns. But with regard to Roman Reigns, there is no news about his return. Further, since his father, the legendary Sika Anoa’i, recently passed away, the Tribal Chief may extend the duration of his break. Paul Heyman, too, is off TV to show his support.
While all this has been taking place, the heel Bloodline has been gaining power. They tasted victory against Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and the Universal Champion Cody Rhodes at Money in the Bank. Solo Sikoa and his brothers defeated the babyfaces to send a message across to the WWE roster. With the win and the Bloodline recognition ceremony officially marking Solo Sikoa as the new Tribal Chief, the WWE Universe has been waiting for the return of Roman Reigns.
What’s your perspective on:
Could the new Bloodline member be the game-changer Roman Reigns needs to dominate WWE again?

Lance Anoa’i has put in the effort to gain entry into The Bloodline
Well, Lance Anoa’i surely could be a great fit for the group. With more than a decade of experience competing on the independent circuit, he surely can bring more might to the old Bloodline. He has proven himself in the past by winning several championships, such as the PWX Heavyweight Championship, the WXW Ultimate Heavyweight Title, and the MLW World Tag Team Championship. Additionally, he also expressed his interest in returning to the WWE after a series of tryouts between 2015 and 2019.
He left the promotion in 2019. However, before his departure, the wrestler was attacked by two rivals at once during a match. Roman Reigns had to rush to save him. While there wasn’t a lot of opportunity to show their on-screen brotherhood, the pro wrestling promotion could bring that side soon.

Speaking on The Tantalizing Tony Wrestling Show, Anoa’i addressed potentially joining The Bloodline in the Stamford-based company. He claimed he was “trying to make moves” to make it happen. “Hopefully, one day, man, we’ll make it. You know, there’s a lot of free agents in my family. So, we’re trying to make moves and join The Bloodline.”
So hopefully, he can join his cousin Roman Reigns and help him fight the new Bloodline to reclaim his throne again. What do you think? Will Lance Anoa’i join the Bloodline? Let us know in the comments.
