Ula Fala has been the most trending thing in the WWE Universe. The big red traditional Samoan necklace has been taking the centerpiece of Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa’s rivalry. While the equation currently came to a point where Reigns temporarily lost to Sikoa and his team during last week’s SmackDown, the initiation of the chaos dates back to the old gold Bloodline era. The popular belief was that Sikoa first got lured to the lucrative chair of the Tribal Chief by nothing other than one deep sight at the gorgeous Samoan accessory. Will the history repeat with Tama Tonga being the next? WWE legend Mark Henry has a feasible answer.
Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa ain’t the only claimants of the Ula Fala. No matter how odd it might sound, WWE is all about connecting the small dots to reach the next big shock. While we are accustomed to seeing Sikoa and Tonga going hand in hand, the on-screen camaraderie might be short-lived. The former Right Hand Man first introduced the Tongoan star to the family and immediately engaged him in Jimmy Uso’s final beat down.
Eventually, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu joined forces, and the squad continued to spread terror in the division. However, if we take a close reference, Tama Tonga’s covert persuasion of the necklace has been quite visible. Getting deeper into the fanciful booking, Mark Henry, on the latest edition of the Busted Open Radio, noted, ”People got close to the ring. The ring did different things to different people. It made people act like that. How about one day we see Tama Tonga get ready to put the Ula Fala on solo, but then he goes, pulls it, and starts looking at it like he’s going to put it on himself?”

“Yes. And then, and then Solo grabs his shoulder and he snaps out of, come on, man. Like, listen, what’s working? Let’s put even more juice to it. And Roman is already there. When you see Roman, he holds it in his hand. Yes. It’s powerful to him. It’s legit powerful. Like holding a title, probably to him,” he added.

It, however, was not the first time WWE Universe knew about Tonga’s impending betrayal.

Tama Tonga’s Ula Fala antics seemingly sowed the seed of another Bloodline betrayal
On Reigns’ first weekly show appearance, Solo Sikoa called out the Original Tribal Chief to get the Ula Fala from him. Reigns readily accepted the challenge and almost dismantled his cousin with the dangerous pair of a Superman punch and a spear once again after the SummerSlam assault. However, Tama Tonga chimed in and safeguarded Sikoa.

The Ula Fala, meanwhile, fell on the stage during the chaos, leading to Reigns temporarily snatching the custody. Even before the Tribal Chief could be settled into his peace, Tonga ambushed him and took back the lei. Before handing it to the new Tribal Chief, the 41-year-old had a deep stare at the ornament, which was clearly visible in a fan footage.
