Solo Sikoa responds to major WWE star's request to leave The Bloodline
Solo Sikoa has shared his reaction to a popular WWE star seemingly wanting to get out of The Bloodline. The faction has made several changes since Roman Reigns lost the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes in the main event of Night Two of WrestleMania XL, earlier this year.
Paul Heyman came to the ring and shared a hug with his old friend, CM Punk, this past Friday night on WWE SmackDown. The Wiseman of The Bloodline warned that the faction was coming for Punk and told him to get out of the ring. Heyman then asked Punk to take him along, but the 45-year-old decided to poke fun at the heel faction in his inimitable style, instead. Cody Rhodes showed up with a couple of baseball bats to even the odds and The Bloodline retreated.
Solo Sikoa took to his Instagram today to repost @wweonfox's video with the caption wondering if Paul Heyman wanted out of the Bloodline. Sikoa added the word "NO" to the video as seen in the screengrab below. You can check out the video on his Instagram story by clicking here.

Roman Reigns has not returned to WWE television since the WrestleMania XL loss and Solo Sikoa has taken over as the leader of The Bloodline. However, Reigns is rumored to be creatively involved with the faction during his hiatus from the company.
Former WWE writer criticizes the promotion's booking of The Bloodline
Wrestling veteran, Vince Russo, was not happy with The Bloodline getting taken out by Randy Orton on a recent edition of SmackDown.
Jacob Fatu made his debut this past Friday night on the blue brand and has made the group even more powerful. However, Randy Orton took out the whole faction by himself the week prior and Vince Russo was not a fan of the segment.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, Russo questioned how fans are supposed to fear The Bloodline if one man could take them on himself.
"The first thing I saw was the big, bad, everybody fears, top of the third Bloodline on Friday night. Then I saw one guy come out and lay out the entire Bloodline. I am supposed to be afraid of this faction? Randy Orton came out. One guy laid out every single member of The Bloodline. The idea for the Bloodline is to get continuous heat. Like NWO," the veteran said. [From 8:25 onward]

It will be interesting to see what the company has planned for Rhodes and Sikoa in the weeks ahead on SmackDown, now that Jacob Fatu has arrived as the latest addition to The Bloodline as well.
