The biggest name out of them all is obviously Roman Reigns. The Tribal Chief is the leader of The Bloodline in WWE, and the group also consists of Anoa'i family members Solo Sikoa and Jey Uso.

Jimmy Uso was recently kicked out of The Bloodline, courtesy of Sikoa, who hit the former with a Samoan Spike on SmackDown.
