Roman Reigns Dared To Take WWE Title From Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa has fired a direct shot at Roman Reigns.
At WrestleMania 40, Roman Reigns was finally beaten by Cody Rhodes and quickly disappeared on hiatus. In the power vacuum left behind, Solo Sikoa stepped up to seize control of The Bloodline.
His first act as defacto leader saw him kick Jimmy Uso from the group before welcoming Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. Initially, Paul Heyman continued to serve the group, although his loyalty to Reigns and the conflict that brought sent him into a tailspin. Things reached a head on SmackDown in Madison Square Garden where The Wise Man refused to acknowledge Sikoa as his Tribal Chief and he was promptly destroyed by the group and slammed through the announce table.
A week on from that demolition, Sikoa sent a warning to Reigns in a short video message. Sikoa said Reigns wasn’t man enough to defend the family’s legacy at WrestleMania, and he can no longer call himself The Tribal Chief. He then vowed to take the Undisputed WWE Title from Rhodes, before again addressing Reigns, saying if he wants the title, he’ll have to come and get it.
At Money in the Bank, The Bloodline will take on Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens in a huge six-man tag team match.
