Potential tease for betrayal within The Bloodline spotted on WWE SmackDown
Solo Sikoa has completely revamped The Bloodline on WWE SmackDown. It appears he is headed for a massive collision at SummerSlam on August 3 against the Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes.
Perhaps the bigger picture here is the exile of Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. With that, Sikoa has managed to redefine The Bloodline in terms of aesthetics, hierarchy, and so forth. However, is there a major twist in the narrative in the form of a betrayal by the 31-year-old's Enforcer, Jacob Fatu?
The Samoan Werewolf was seen eyeing Solo Sikoa during The Bloodline's in-ring promo segment in the closing moments of the most recent edition of SmackDown. While his faction appears to adhere to his commands, for now, could it all be a ploy by the former Tribal Chief Roman Reigns? Being a pivotal character in this story, it might just be the case for Jacob Fatu.

The show ended with the group decimating Randy Orton by putting him through the announcers' desk while forcing The American Nightmare to watch. In a post-show moment caught on camera, Rhodes was seen helping The Viper up.
Fans believe this to be the case; Jacob Fatu was sent by Roman Reigns to WWE SmackDown
Roman Reigns was last seen falling to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL in April. Everything that transpired afterward was Solo Sikoa's doing. Triple H recently shared his honest thoughts about Sikoa calling himself the new Tribal Chief. According to The Game, it will always be Reigns.
Meanwhile, the WWE Universe has speculated on Jacob Fatu's role in The Bloodline. The former MLW star only made his debut on the June 21 episode of SmackDown, becoming the latest entrant of Sikoa's group.
The feeling is that either Roman Reigns or Jimmy Uso have sent Fatu to SmackDown in order to keep an eye on Solo Sikoa. Some fans commented that Fatu could turn on The Street Champ at SummerSlam, where it is rumored that Reigns will make his return.

Another summer in WWE, and The Bloodline is still the hottest angle. The company has announced the return of one of its oldest shows, Bad Blood, for October. It would not be out of the realm of possibility if they booked a Hell in a Cell Match for the show involving Solo Sikoa and possibly Roman Reigns.
Such a booking would not only be in honor of the very first match of its kind at the 1997 inaugural edition of the event between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels but of all three editions of WWE Bad Blood have always featured a main event Hell in a Cell Match.
