Solo Sikoa will refuse to give Tribal Chief status back to Roman Reigns, legend predicts (Exclusive)

Solo Sikoa has temporarily taken over as The Bloodline's Tribal Chief while Roman Reigns is absent from WWE television. Legendary wrestling reporter Bill Apter believes the storyline development could lead to a feud between the family members further down the line.

On April 7, Reigns lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. Since then, Sikoa has recruited Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa to The Bloodline. On June 28, all four men attacked Reigns' special counsel Paul Heyman after he failed to acknowledge Sikoa as The Tribal Chief.

Apter appeared on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine with host Mac Davis and WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long. He predicted that Sikoa would refuse to welcome Reigns back as The Bloodline's leader when he returns:

"I think Solo is not gonna relinquish being The Head of the Table when Roman Reigns eventually comes back, and I think Roman and The Usos are gonna be together and maybe some other Samoans will join. Maybe The Usos will reunite and go with Roman," Apter said. [0:49 – 1:10]

Bill Apter believes Fatu's addition to Solo Sikoa's new-look stable is already proving to be a good move:

"Jacob brought a fire into that situation that I have not seen in such a long time. Even fans who didn't know who the heck he was were like, 'Oh my God, another Samoan, and this guy's crazy!' He looked crazy! It was wonderful." [1:13 – 1:32]

On July 6, The Bloodline will face Orton, Owens, and Rhodes at Money in the Bank.
