Several weeks ago, Tama Tonga made his WWE debut revolutionizing the status of The Bloodline. He teamed up with Solo Sikoa and kicked out Jimmy Uso by beating him up on Friday Night SmackDown. Since then, Paul Heyman has tried to control the situation, but Tonga and Sikoa have taken over The Bloodline while Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso are absent.
And tonight at Backlash, Tama Tonga and Solo Sikoa faced Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. In the final moments, Tanga Loa, Tonga’s brother, appeared to cost Owens and Orton the fight. After the match, Loa officially joined The Bloodline under the incredulous gaze of Paul Heyman. This led to a moment backstage between Heyman and Uso that surely got the attention of fans.
Paul Heyman does not approve of the new Bloodline
The current storyline starring The Bloodline had a new chapter on Backlash as Tanga Loa made his WWE return. After weeks of uncertainty, with Solo Sikoa taking the helm of the faction, seemingly unilaterally, Paul Heyman, advisor to the group and, especially, to Roman Reigns, admitted on SmackDown earlier that he had not spoken to The Tribal Chief since WrestleMania XL. And now it seems like he doesn’t approve of the new Bloodline as well as the new face coming to the Bloodline. As before Jey Uso’s match against Damien Priest, Jey Uso, and Heyman shared a moment backstage where Heyman gave a look of disapproval to Uso.
Even earlier tonight Randy Orton asked Heyman who the real Tribal Chief currently is. Fearful, Heyman assured that there is only one. At that moment, Solo and Tama burst into the ring to attack Owens and Orton. The last time fans were able to see Reigns and Heyman together was on video record on the entrance ramp of Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, minutes after Cody Rhodes’ victory at WrestleMania XL. Roman and Paul melted into a heartfelt embrace before the former left the venue. Since then, he has not appeared again in the company’s television programming. Meanwhile, Sikoa continues to manage the faction’s designs.
But it has been made sure time and again that Heyman wants Reigns to return as soon as possible. The way the Bloodline is going rogue, it can be seen even during their matches that their manager surely is not interested in them winning. In fact, when Kevin Owens was getting thrashed with a trashcan by Tama Tonga, Heyman was covering his face. This surely makes it seem like he might turn on the faction pretty soon. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
