In the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, The Bloodline, led by Solo Sikoa, executed The Shield’s famous Triple Powerbomb, marking a new era in WWE. The Bloodline, originally formed by Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose, gained immense popularity after their debut in 2012. Although the group disbanded in 2014 following Rollins’ betrayal, they had several reunions over the years.
The Shield members followed individual paths, with Reigns rising to stardom as a singles wrestler. In 2020-21, Reigns formed an alliance with Paul Heyman, naming it The Bloodline. As of 2024, The Tribal Chief is on hiatus from weekly television after losing the Undisputed WWE Championship. During his absence, Sikoa has taken over The Bloodline and recruited new members, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
On the recent episode of WWE SmackDown, Sikoa, Tonga, and Loa performed The Shield’s signature Triple Powerbomb on Kevin Owens after a six-man tag team match. Tonga was declared the new Right Hand Man, and Loa was anointed into the faction by the standby Tribal Chief.
The Bloodline’s new Triple Powerbomb signifies the passing of the torch from The Shield to the new generation. Fans eagerly await Reigns’ return to weekly television, as The Tribal Chief has been absent since his defeat by Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. The Bloodline’s recent actions indicate a potential resurgence of the faction’s dominance, emphasizing Sikoa’s leadership skills and the strength of the new Bloodline members.
