37-year old manager, former member & more - 4 current WWE Superstars who have heat with Solo Sikoa's Bloodline
Solo Sikoa took control of The Bloodline after WWE WrestleMania XL. After Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso suffered defeat at The Show of Shows, The Enforcer took over as unofficial Tribal Chief, declaring that "Failure has consequences." He wasted no time enforcing said consequences, bringing in Tama Tonga to brutally put the elder Uso on the shelf.
Sikoa has since made further changes to the faction, shaping it in his own image by introducing Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu. After leading the vicious attack on Paul Heyman during his acknowledgement ceremony on WWE SmackDown, the new chief's group appears to be in its final form. Along the way, they have made a number of enemies, some of which they may not have seen the last of.
Here are four WWE Superstars who have legitimate storyline heat with Solo Sikoa's Bloodline so far, other than their Money in the Bank 2024 opponents.
#4: Jimmy Uso was put on the shelf by Solo Sikoa's Bloodline on WWE SmackDown
Jimmy Uso was the first WWE Superstar to fall victim to Solo Sikoa's Bloodline. The elder Uso appeared on the SmackDown after WrestleMania XL with Sikoa and Paul Heyman, with the group reeling from Roman Reigns' monumental loss in Philadelphia. As the trio came to terms with a future minus the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, The Enforcer blindsided his brother with a debuting Tama Tonga.
The MFT viciously attacked Uso, writing him off television to kick off the era of Sikoa with a bang. As The Street Champ's version of the family has grown to include Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu, the legendary tag team star has not resurfaced yet. When he does return, however, best believe he will be looking to take revenge for the brutal manner in which he was kicked out.
#3: The new Bloodline has made Nick Aldis' job as WWE SmackDown General Manager much harder

As far as dealing with Solo Sikoa's Bloodline goes, no WWE talent has to do it as consistently as SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis. Aldis has had his hands full with Sikoa and co. on a weekly basis, with the group making his job incredibly hard.
From crashing into Kevin Owens and leaving him bloodied to putting Cody Rhodes and Paul Heyman through tables, they constantly jeopardize his top superstars. How long until the 37-year old official tires of their antics and arranges some payback? Friction with Aldis had some consequences for Roman Reigns earlier in 2024, so how long until his heat with Solo boils over?
#2: The new Bloodline's treatment of Paul Heyman will not go down well with CM Punk
CM Punk is currently embroiled in an intense rivalry with Drew McIntyre over on WWE RAW, considered by many to be the hottest in all of WWE. However, in his most recent SmackDown appearance, The Second City Saint found himself in the crosshairs of Solo Sikoa's Bloodline. Punk did not get physical with the group, but he did have a verbal confrontation with them revolving around their treatment of Paul Heyman.
Now that they viciously attacked his best friend, the new Bloodline could find themselves on the wrong side of The Voice of the Voiceless in the near future. Given that the former AEW World Champion is currently on a different brand, a long-term feud may not imminently be on the cards. However, it's not beyond the realm of possibility for him to pull off a one-time attack at The Wiseman's behest.
Imagine Punk and Roman Reigns being one-off tag team partners to avenge The Special Counsel against the new Bloodline! Imagine them teaming with Brock Lesnar in six-man action as a Paul Heyman Guy super-trio! One can only dream.
#1: Roman Reigns has the most intense heat with Solo Sikoa's Bloodline
Where to begin with this? Solo Sikoa took over Roman Reigns' position in The Bloodline after the latter's loss at WWE WrestleMania XL. He brutally attacked Jimmy Uso and Reigns' Wiseman, Paul Heyman, effecting a complete personnel overhaul in the faction. Now, with a whole new crew behind him, Sikoa has taken to "stealing" the six-time world champion's catchphrases and titles.
The disrespect that The Street Champ has shown his predecessor is unlikely to go unpunished. Given Reigns' mafia boss-esque methods and the audience's overwhelming desire to see the 31-year old receive comeuppance, their inevitable feud could end up being the hottest of 2024. It could be the kind of heat that catapults Sikoa's career to true superstardom.
