Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns battled in a Tribal Combat match with a lot on the line this past Monday night on WWE RAW. It was the red brand's debut episode on Netflix and the show aired live from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California.
Last Friday night on WWE SmackDown, Sikoa interrupted Paul Heyman and noted that the Hall of Famer would be his Wiseman forever if he won the match. However, if he lost, he would officially acknowledge Reigns as his Tribal Chief. Reigns picked up the pinfall victory over Sikoa in the Tribal Combat match on RAW.
Listed below are four ways Solo Sikoa could acknowledge Roman Reigns tonight on SmackDown.
Solo Sikoa failed to defeat Roman Reigns in the Tribal Combat match this past Monday night on RAW and now must remain true to his word on SmackDown. The veteran could cut a promo during tonight's show in Oregon and make a major admission.
Sikoa could decide to admit that he is no longer the Tribal Chief of the new version of The Bloodline, and the group does not need a leader anymore. This may lead to tension with Jacob Fatu, who has idolized Sikoa since arriving in the company last year.
Paul Heyman refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief on the June 28, 2024 edition of SmackDown. As a result of his insubordination, Sikoa ordered the new version of The Bloodline to Powerbomb the legend through the announce table.
Sikoa threatened to make Heyman his Wiseman forever if he won the Tribal Combat match, but he failed to do so. The 31-year-old may attempt to apologize to Heyman for his actions tonight as a way to send an olive branch to Roman Reigns after being defeated by him on WWE RAW.
Solo Sikoa named himself the new Tribal Chief after Roman Reigns lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. He kicked Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman out of the faction to make room for Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu.
Sikoa also added Bronson Reed to his faction ahead of the Men's WarGames match against the OG Bloodline at Survivor Series 2024. Reed suffered a significant injury during the match last November, and Reigns pinned Sikoa to earn the victory for his faction.
The veteran could inform the new version of The Bloodline that he failed them as their leader tonight on SmackDown and announce that he is disbanding the faction. Sikoa may also give his stablemates the option of joining Roman Reigns to serve under the true Tribal Chief.
Roman Reigns has proven over the past few months that he is the only Tribal Chief on WWE SmackDown. Solo Sikoa had the opportunity to take his place but failed to win the Tribal Combat match this past Monday night on WWE RAW's debut episode on Netflix.
Sikoa may decide to come to the ring tonight and acknowledge Reigns as his Tribal Chief. The former North American Champion may also ask if he could become a member of Reigns' faction and promise to serve as his Enforcer once again.
