This week’s SmackDown witnessed an unexpected twist in the Bloodline saga. Solo Sikoa crossed the line as he and the faction destroyed Paul Heyman. The latter was smashed through the table and humiliated after he refused to acknowledge Sikoa as The Tribal Chief.

A discourteous Solo Sikoa first commanded Madison Square Garden to acknowledge him. He then went on to ask the members of the new Bloodline, who accepted the Tribal Heir with open arms. However, Paul Heyman refused to bend the knee against Sikoa, as he had sworn his loyalty to Roman Reigns. It led to The Enforcer attacking The Wiseman, followed by a brutal ambush by the vicious faction.

The former NXT North American Champion ordered Jacob Fatu to deliver a top-rope splash to the WWE Hall of Famer. Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa took charge of this beatdown after the self-proclaimed Head of the Table delivered a Samoan Spike to the windpipe of the Special Counsel.

Moreover, the 31-year-old acknowledged himself to the Ula Fala as the Tribal Chief. The show ended with Heyman lying on the ground, his body motionless, and the new Bloodline standing tall over him. Sikoa dropped a bombshell last week, claiming that the Needle Mover was never coming back, which makes it interesting to see if this is actually true or not.

Fans defied Solo Sikoa as the Roman Reigns chants were louder than ever

SmackDown this week kicked off with a brawl. However, before that, there was an interaction between Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman. The highlight was that the crowd was so loud that even the Enforcer and the Wiseman looked quite impressed for a moment. When the new leader of the Bloodline made his entrance, he was immediately defied by the MSG with a lot of heat.

As the show progressed, there were a number of occasions on SmackDown where the crowd was chanting “We Want Roman.” It was a clear indication that the WWE Universe has had enough of Sikoa, and they want the real Tribal Chief back. Moreover, there were some videos from the crowds where the fans were chanting even before the show started.

It has set up a foundation for the return of the Needle Mover. Now that the new Bloodline has put their hands on Reigns’ Wiseman, it is just a matter of moments before he returns to claim his island of relevancy once again.
