– Solo Sikoa says Roman Reigns’ days as Tribal Chief are over, fully taking the role on this week’s WWE Smackdown. Friday night’s show closed with a video segment in which Sikoa and the rest of The Bloodline sent a video message, in which Sikoa said that Reigns’ inability to defeat Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40 meant that he wasn’t man enough to defend The Bloodline’s legacy.
Sikoa then said he was Tribal Chief and not Reigns, and said that he would take back the Undisputed WWE Championship from Cody Rhodes. He then said that if Reigns wanted, he could try to take it back from him.
"If Roman Reigns wants that back, he can try and take it from me"
It's a new era for #TheBloodline.
Acknowledge your NEW Tribal Chief, Solo Sikoa. ☝️#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/RtXeQwH5ri— WWE (@WWE) July 6, 2024
