On the latest episode of SmackDown, Solo Sikoa returned to WWE programming. For the first time since losing to Roman Reigns at the Raw Netflix premiere, Sikoa appeared on the blue brand. The self-proclaimed Tribal Chief took the mic in hand before abruptly walking out of the ring. This bizarre move drew a lot of attention on social media, with a lot of speculation regarding the future of The Bloodline.
According to WrestleVotes, the Sikoa segment was a “hot topic of debate” within WWE’s creative. Initially, the rundown had Sikoa opening SmackDown and addressing his Tribal Combat loss against Reigns. For unknown reasons, plans seemingly changed with the aforementioned segment taking place instead. Sikoa’s walkout not only left fans confused but also his Bloodline members, Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga.
As a result, Fatu took center stage and cut a passionate promo. The Samoan Werewolf warned the locker room, claiming that he was only just getting started. This prompted LA Knight to come out and attack the duo. However, the numbers game caught up to him quickly. Moments later, Braun Strowman returned from his own hiatus to save Knight and engage in an intense staredown with Fatu.

The Bloodline’s future continues to remain uncertain, with the OG members seemingly moving on to their respective singles paths. As such, the civil war has concluded, at least for now. This leaves Solo Sikoa, Fatu, and the Tongans without any clear motives ahead. Therefore, it will be interesting to see what lies ahead for the faction on the road to WrestleMania 41.
Multiple Bloodline matches announced for next week after Solo Sikoa walks out
Without doubt, the Jacob Fatu-Braun Strowman faceoff left fans on the edge of their seats. Although they didn’t engage physically on SmackDown, they are set to square off inside the ring at next week’s Saturday Night’s Main Event.
This will mark The Samoan Werewolf’s second singles match since debuting in WWE. Fatu has yet to be pinned or submitted, showcasing the company’s faith in his stock. Fatu isn’t the only Bloodline member scheduled for in-ring action next week.
Tama Tonga will be taking on LA Knight on SmackDown. The Megastar has had issues with different iterations of The Bloodline since the summer of 2023. As such, he’ll be looking to put behind his feud with the faction before shifting his focus to winning the Royal Rumble match.
