Solo Sikoa shared some information with Paul Heyman on WWE SmackDown that stunned the “Wise Man” of The Bloodline.

At WrestleMania 40, Roman Reigns lost the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes. It was the end of Roman’s incredible 1,316-day reign as the Universal Champion who also held the WWE Title for two years.

Since WrestleMania 40, Roman Reigns has been absent from WWE television. The Tribal Chief was supposed to be in the WWE Draft, but Heyman took him out since Reigns is absent and it’s unknown when he might return.

While Reigns has been away, the “Tribal Heir” Solo Sikoa has taken over the group. Solo has brought in Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa as members of The Bloodline who have helped Solo win matches and deal with problems like Kevin Owens and Randy Orton.

In a backstage segment on WWE Smackdown in Wilkes-Barre, PA, Solo Sikoa had a heart-to-heart chat with Paul Heyman. Heyman talked to Solo Sikoa saying he knows his place in life as Roman Reigns’ Wise Man. Solo complained about Heyman taking Roman Reigns out of the draft and said because of that, The Bloodline got drafted in the third round. Solo wondered if Paul was trying to take food out of his kids’ mouths. Solo said that when Paul saw Jey Uso recently, was he giving him some signal? Paul said no. Solo mentioned Roman Reigns losing “our title” at WrestleMania.

Solo Sikoa said that Heyman hasn’t talked to Roman Reigns since WrestleMania (something Heyman admitted recently) while Solo claimed that he has spoken to Roman Reigns. According to Solo, Roman has put Solo Sikoa in charge of The Bloodline. Solo said until Roman comes back, Solo is calling the shots and Heyman will be Solo’s Wise Man.

To end the discussion, Solo hugged Heyman and said he loved him. While Solo hugged Heyman, Solo was looking at Tama & Tanga. Solo told Heyman he loved him again.

The question is, was Solo telling Heyman the truth about getting those direct orders from Reigns or was he lying to the Wise Man? That’s a story that could develop in the weeks ahead.

Solo Sikoa Delivers Another Message On WWE SmackDown

In a King of the Ring qualifying match, Tama Tonga defeated Angelo Dawkins to move on to the quarterfinals. There was a bit of an assist from The Bloodline because Solo Sikoa & Tonga Loa beat up Montez Ford on the floor, which included Solo giving Ford a Samoan Spike. That distracted Dawkins, which led to Tama hitting a flatliner on Dawkins to win.

After the match was over, Solo and The Bloodline beat up Dawkins some more. Solo gave Dawkins a Samoan Spike. The key thing was how Heyman reacted with a shocked look on his face as he covered his mouth with his left hand.
