USA Network sends 5-word message after Solo Sikoa demands Roman Reigns surrender on WWE SmackDown
Solo Sikoa demanded Roman Reigns and the OG Bloodline surrender last Friday on WWE SmackDown. The USA Network, the home of the blue brand, reacted to Sikoa's order to get acknowledged as The Tribal Chief.
The new Bloodline opened Friday's show with Sikoa telling the Salt Lake City crowd that it was time for Reigns to surrender. He gave an ultimatum to The OTC, who had until the end of the night to fulfill the order or get beat up.
The segment was shared on social media platforms such as Instagram and garnered a lot of attention. One of the accounts that was intrigued by Solo's promo was the official page of the USA Network, which dropped a five-word message.
"This will be VERY interesting," the page wrote.
Despite Solo Sikoa's threat and demand, Roman Reigns and the OG Bloodline didn't surrender at the end of SmackDown. Paul Heyman made his triumphant return to introduce CM Punk as their fifth member for Survivor Series: WarGames.
The five-on-five WarGames Match is scheduled for November 30 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada.
Roman Reigns' conversation with CM Punk on SmackDown revealed
After the OG Bloodline and CM Punk dispatched the new Bloodline, Roman Reigns had a staredown with his unlikely partner. The two stars had a short conversation as the credits rolled in.
Punk told Reigns that their partnership was not about them, but Paul Heyman. The OTC reiterated that Heyman was his Wiseman although The Second City Saint seemingly teased a potential partnership with his former manager.
While Brock Lesnar is the original "Paul Heyman Guy," CM Punk was guided by the Hall of Famer during his rise to superstardom as WWE Champion. When Punk left the company, Heyman returned to managing Lesnar before Roman Reigns recruited him in 2020.
It will be interesting to see what happens at Survivor Series: WarGames. Heyman seemingly brought Punk without the knowledge of The OTC. It's also important to point out that Reigns was unable to connect to Heyman's phone two weeks ago when he was calling for advice.
