Top name targets Solo Sikoa's Bloodline; sends a message to 8-time WWE champion
Solo Sikoa's Bloodline and "Big" Bronson Reed failed at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames in Canada when the heels faced the OG Bloodline and CM Punk. Recently, LA Knight called out the faction and sent a message to the new United States Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura.
The Megastar's dream run as the United States Champion ended when Shinsuke Nakamura defeated him in a one-on-one match at Survivor Series: WarGames last weekend. Things got worse for Knight last night on SmackDown, as he crossed paths with the New Bloodline.
In an interview on SmackDown LowDown, The Megastar was furious and issued a warning to Solo Sikoa's Bloodline by stating he was coming for its members. Moreover, he added he hasn't forgotten about Nakamura and sent a message to the eight-time champion after Friday Night SmackDown. The King of Strong Style is a two-time Intercontinental Champion, a three-time US Champion, a two-time NXT Champion, and a one-time tag team champion.
"As a matter of fact, what I need, what I want, is my shot at the US Championship. But then enter the [New] Bloodline, a couple of guys that I spent the last year smacking around. If I had to do it again, I would do it again. Here's the thing: no matter which version of the Bloodline you bring in, this is a different version, but it doesn't make a difference," Knight said.
The former US Champion added:
"Here's how it goes down, my man. It's going to be me getting my piece of the Bloodline, and then it's going to be me getting a whole big chunk of Shinsuke Nakamura and me getting the belt that belongs to me!"
What happened between LA Knight, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Solo Sikoa's Bloodline on WWE SmackDown?
Last month, Shinsuke Nakamura returned to WWE TV and immediately went after the then-United States Champion, LA Knight. Later, a title match was announced for Survivor Series: WarGames, where The King of Strong Style captured his third United States Championship.
On the latest edition of WWE SmackDown, LA Knight appeared and confronted the new champion. This was followed by Andrade, who also wanted a title shot. However, he was abruptly interrupted by Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu.
The villainous faction attacked Knight and El Idolo. However, Fatu and Co. chose to leave Shinsuke alone once the US Champion started spewing black liquid from his mouth.
In the end, Solo Sikoa made a statement and claimed he was still The Tribal Chief as he held the Ula Fala.
