Solo Sikoa Says Roman Reigns Is "No Longer" The Tribal Chief

Ever since WrestleMania 40, Solo Sikoa has been acting as the de facto leader of The Bloodline, exiling Jimmy Uso and bringing in his own cohort consisting of Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu. In interactions with Paul Heyman on SmackDown over the last several months, Sikoa’s attitude towards Roman Reigns has sometimes appeared to be unclear, with it not being known whether he was still loyal to Reigns or was completely disregarding him as his superior. Last week’s attack on Paul Heyman and crowning himself as the Tribal Chief seemed to answer those questions, and this week he made his stance definitive. 

In a promo on SmackDown, Sikoa once again told the world that he was now the “Tribal Chief” of The Bloodline, and for the first time ever, he called out Roman Reigns directly. 

Sikoa remarked that Reigns was “not man enough” to retain his Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, losing the right to call himself the Tribal Chief and Head Of The Table. With his attention now on Rhodes himself, he stated that Reigns could come back and try to take both the title and the role of Tribal Chief away from Sikoa, setting up a feud and an eventual return.
