The Bloodline Storyline has been the biggest crowd-puller for WWE from 2021 ... Roman Reigns as the Tribal Chief driving the story forward as the vicious heel, controlling his cousins Jimmy and Jey Uso along with Paul Heyman. The enforcer Solo Sikoa joined them to make The Bloodline a formidable force. But after Roman Reigns lost his title to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, Jey Uso left The Bloodline.
An unexpected introduction of Tonga Lao by Solo Sikoa and their act of eliminating Jimmy USO from the Blood line has put a big question in front of us, where is the storyline heading once Roman Reigns returns?

00:00 (Clip of the match)
00:14 Backlash 2024!
00:17 What on earth is up with the Bloodline?
00:19 In a massive and unexpected twist, the Bloodline got a new member, but it isn't who you might
00:24 have expected.
00:26 For many, the obvious choice for the next Bloodline member was Jacob Fatu, the ex-MLW
00:31 star, who's rumored signing with WWE has been public knowledge.
00:36 But it was the 40-year-old Tanga Loa who made his debut, or we should say, returned to WWE
00:42 after 10 years.
00:43 Wait, what?
00:44 The new Bloodline guy used to be in WWE?
00:47 As a matter of fact, yes, Tanga Loa was a WWE superstar.
00:53 While most wrestling fans who are aware of him likely know him from his 8-year stint
00:57 with New Japan Pro Wrestling, he actually spent 5 years in WWE, a tenure that saw him
01:02 team with Hunako aka the future Sinkara.
01:06 The name that Tanga Loa went by was Kamacho, and let's just say that he was a full-fledged
01:11 enhancement talent whose WWE release was a blessing in disguise.
01:16 While not as good an in-ring worker as Tama Tonga, he did win the IWGP Tag Team titles
01:22 with him a whopping 7 times.
01:26 Just like Tama Tonga, he is the son of Haku.
01:29 But don't let clips of his sloppy in-ring highlights deter you from the fact that the
01:34 Bloodline story has just had a whole new layer added to it.
01:38 Remember around Summerslam last year when fans were complaining that the Bloodline storyline
01:43 had fully run its course after Jimmy Uso's underwhelming turn on his brother Jey?
01:48 You aren't hearing very many of those complaints now, and it's by design that the story has
01:53 a whole new twist to it.
01:55 Looking at how things have played out since WrestleMania 40 when Roman Reigns lost the
01:59 undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes, a few things are evident.
02:05 A. It's not Paul Heyman who is the brains of the faction, and one of the key figures
02:10 calling the shots is Solo Sokoa, or so we're made to think.
02:15 B. The Wise Man is so helpless with what has gone on since WrestleMania, and that was best
02:20 exemplified in the backstage segment at Backlash where he seemed to give a desperate stare
02:25 to Jey Uso, which appeared to be more like a cry for help.
02:29 This is likely going to take shape in the coming months.
02:32 C. Paul Heyman has not been in contact with Roman Reigns whatsoever, and this included
02:38 the controversial move of pulling him out of eligibility for the WWE Draft.
02:43 Roman Reigns is obviously the biggest missing piece of the puzzle here, but unlike 2023,
02:49 it seems like WWE has learned from their mistake.
02:52 Knowing that Roman Reigns isn't going to appear every week like he used to, WWE isn't
02:57 just bidding time waiting for him to return so they can put their foot on the accelerator
03:01 again.
03:02 They likely realize the mistake in their approach, especially from the summer of last year, and
03:07 are making sure to put all the pieces together to ensure that the story still plays out regardless
03:13 of whether Roman is there or not.
03:15 Adding fresh faces is a big way to generate hype around it.
03:18 The fact that there was so much buzz after Tangaloa debuted despite him not being that
03:23 well known should tell you enough.
03:26 Now just imagine the buzz when the more well known Jacob Fatu makes his debut.
03:31 We're now touching 4 years of the Bloodline story and it doesn't seem stale at all.
03:37 If anything, it seems fresher than ever.
03:40 So what exactly is being planned with all of these new additions and potential upcoming
03:44 additions?
03:45 In our view, the only logical direction for this is a Bloodline Civil War match.
03:51 Let's assume that Roman Reigns returns to the change in order, something that he never
03:56 directly approved of himself.
03:58 It seems like a no brainer that he would first target Cody Rhodes and the undisputed WWE
04:03 Championship, presumably on a stage like Summerslam.
04:07 Let's also assume that this new Bloodline formation ends up costing him the match, leading
04:12 to Roman finally becoming a good guy again after 4 long years.
04:17 This could set the wheels in motion for a massive reunion where Roman Reigns teams up
04:21 with Jimmy and Jey Uso against the trio of Solo Sakoa, Tama Tonga and Tangaloa.
04:29 Survivor Series War Game seems to be the perfect stage for this, although it would be better
04:33 if it was a 4 on 4 War Games match.
04:36 You may have noticed that each side we mentioned had 3 stars each, so who could be the 4th
04:42 star for each respective team?
04:45 This is where the big twist comes in and it's revealed that the final boss, The Rock, was
04:50 the true puppet master the whole time.
04:53 All the orders, the new members and big decisions were made by The Rock and not Solo Sakoa.
05:01 On Roman's side, a star like Jacob Fatu would effortlessly slot in.
05:06 All of this of course is assuming that The Rock would get back in the ring for a War
05:10 Games match, something that isn't guaranteed at all.
05:14 Assuming it does happen, it would be the perfect way to set up a Rock vs Roman Reigns match
05:19 at WrestleMania 41.
05:21 That's also assuming that The Rock doesn't face Cody Rhodes.
05:25 But that's where the confusion starts because the Raw after WrestleMania 40 opening segment
05:31 appeared to tease a match between The Rock and Cody down the line.
05:35 If The Rock vs Cody is the direction, then there are still a lot of ways WWE could go
05:40 with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
05:44 Perhaps Las Vegas will be the stage where the incredible story of the Bloodline finally
05:49 comes to a fitting conclusion.
05:51 But until then, keep tuning in, because the twists and turns are only beginning.
05:57 Thank you for watching.
