Zilla Fatu reveals his "Tribal Chief" ahead of blockbuster Bloodline match at WWE Crown Jewel
At WWE Crown Jewel, Solo Sikoa's Bloodline is set to face Roman Reigns and The Usos. Ahead of the premium live event in Saudi Arabia on November 2, 2024, real-life Bloodline member Zilla Fatu disclosed who he acknowledges as his "Tribal Chief" in the long-running family saga.
Roman Reigns started The Bloodline alongside Jimmy and Jey of The Usos back in 2020. The founding members indeed have clashed for the Head of The Table spot, but the erstwhile Big Dog always came out on top.
However, after the 39-year-old star lost his Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, the storyline took a wild turn. In the absence of Reigns, Solo Sikoa seized control of The Bloodline, appointing himself The Tribal Chief and recruiting new members in the form of Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu.
Currently, the OG Bloodline and the new Bloodline are on a collision course, set to clash in a Six Man Tag Team match at WWE Crown Jewel this Saturday.
During an appearance on The Wrestling Era podcast, ahead of the PLE in Saudi Arabia, Zilla Fatu declared his loyalty to Roman Reigns as the Tribal Chief. Despite his affection for The Street Champion, the reigning HOG Crown Jewel Champion and ROW Champion affirmed his allegiance to The OTC.
"Nothing towards, Solo [Sikoa], I love him, everything. But if you ask me, my Tribal Chief, it's Roman Reigns," Fatu said. [18:16 to 18:24]

WWE legend makes shocking claim about Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu of The Bloodline
The legendary Rikishi shared his two cents on the long-running family saga ahead of Crown Jewel. WWE Hall of Famer believes that The Samoan Werewolf will have a character change very soon.
On his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi claimed Jacob Fatu would probably betray Solo Sikoa one of these days, only to turn babyface.
"Jacob’s going to snap one day on these guys [Bloodline]. When they show his eyes, when they show his hands together, man, he’s praying to Solo or he’s just praying that he don’t relapse. (…) I don’t mess this up with these cats right here. Once Jacob turns man, I think The [Samoan] Werewolf is gonna have the whole arena just howling man," he said.
It will be exciting to see whether Roman Reigns' or Solo Sikoa's team will emerge victorious at Crown Jewel, leading up to the WWE Survivor Series: WarGames PLE.
