It is the unpredictability of pro wrestling that makes the game enticing. After a banger WrestleMania 40, WWE is re-stacking the deck on SmackDown tonight. With The Rock and Roman Reigns signing off from the ring temporarily, The Bloodline needed a new boss. Not beating around the bush for long, WWE made Solo Sikoa step out to take charge next in a segment. Tama Tonga dipping his feet in the WWE ring to join the force was a bonus that we never knew we needed. But with these multiple bombshells, it begs one crucial question: What is cooking?
What is the next Bloodline direction after Toma Tanga’s inclusion? Explained.
The American Nightmare has surpassed the unified force of Bloodline on WrestleMania Night 2, leaving the worth of Reigns’ armies in severe doubt. Heyman, The Wise Man emerged in the blue brand tonight to cover the shame up with the same Tribal Chief eulogy. He assured fans that Reigns will come soon to fire back while admitting that fact this Mania was exclusively reserved for Cody Rhodes’ as he was the top-prepared one. The Right-Hand Man, out of nowhere, interrupted the Hall of Famer to make his announcement.

He took the spotlight on Jimmy Uso and re-echoed how he should be called down for losing before giving him a cryptic hug with a false hypercritic brotherhood claim. Then there came the second twist in the form of a hoodie Tama Tonga, who launched an abrupt attack on Jimmy Uso. Sikoa immediately took his side and kicked the Uso out of the stable, dissenting Heyman’s order.

The Wise Man kept standing, with a terror-stricken face in the corner, fearing that he might be next in line. However, this fear didn’t materialize, rather Sikoa took Heyman and Tonga to do the signature Bloodline sign. Heyman clearly did it half-heartedly. From there, things can go in three possible directions. Let’s explore each of them.
With WWE taking Tonga in the family tree, speculation runs high on other real-life Bloodline member Jacob Fatu to chipping in on the scene. The notion of Fatu joining the Bloodline first emerged when The Rock and Roman Reigns revealed his name in The Bloodline family chart at WrestleMania 40 Kickoff. While there’s still no word on the Rikishi-nephew Bloodline signing, fans see a civil war coming, tipping Tama Tonga, Solo Sikoa, and Jacob Fatu against Roman Reigns and The Usos. If Fatu comes along, the angle doesn’t seem non-feasible as it only denotes the old-to-new era transition of the stable that’s currently on board. Also, turning Reigns’ babyface alongside the Usos will be a wise call at this point.
Secondly, the saga might also take a U-turn through a territory-defining single battle between Tama Tonga and Roman Reigns. The result will then choose the new Tribal Chief, ushering into a new Bloodline era.
