The Anoa’i dynasty has spoken, reacting to Paul Heyman’s recent mauling at the hands of The Bloodline during Friday’s “WWE SmackDown.” The tension between Solo Sikoa, the self-proclaimed “Tribal Chief,” and Paul Heyman, the “Wiseman,” reached a boiling point. Heyman, refusing to acknowledge Reigns’ enforcer, was dropped with a Samoan Spike by Sikoa, followed by Jacob Fatu slamming him through the announcer’s table.
Rikishi, Sikoa’s father, expressed what seemed to be approval of the segment. Supporting his youngest son as he did with his oldest, Jimmy Uso, Rikishi took to X and wrote, “ITS DONE!”
The attack on Heyman follows weeks of Sikoa taking control of The Bloodline in Roman Reigns’ absence. After Reigns’ loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, Sikoa ousted Jimmy Uso and brought in Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and most recently, Jacob Fatu—decisions Heyman warned against. Last week’s “SmackDown” saw Heyman expressing his desire to leave with CM Punk to escape the splinter group, foreshadowing the dramatic events to come.
There’s no word yet on when Reigns or Uso will return, but it’s certain they will have something to say about Sikoa’s new faction.
