This week on WWE SmackDown, a new addition joined The Bloodline, shaking up the terrain of the blue brand. Tama Tonga, a former NJPW standout, made his explosive debut by attacking Jimmy Uso under the orders, seemingly, from Solo Sikoa.
The arrival of the former IWGP Tag Team Champion didn’t go unnoticed, drawing reactions from both fans and wrestling veterans.
The events unfolded following WrestleMania XL Night 1, where Jimmy Uso suffered defeat at the hands of his twin brother, Jey.
The following night, the leader of The Bloodline, Roman Reigns, lost his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes, marking a significant setback for the faction.
On the latest episode of SmackDown, Paul Heyman addressed the fallout from WrestleMania XL, emphasizing the importance of accountability within The Bloodline.
He indicated that Roman Reigns ordered them to accept accountability for their losses. As Heyman spoke, Solo Sikoa interrupted, questioning the significance of wins and losses.
