The Bloodline has been crumbling since the beginning of the year and with Roman Reigns' "Tribal Combat" match against Jey Uso at SummerSlam, there is only man left to turn his back on the 'Head of the Table': Solo Sikoa.

Since debuting on the main roster last September, Solo has slotted perfectly into The Bloodline and has unintentionally become the main character in the saga. Brought in by The Elders as 'The Enforcer of The Bloodline', Sikoa has been booked as the monster he is, striking fear in anyone and everyone that steps to Roman and on occasion even Reigns himself. It is clear that 'The Tribal Chief' fears Solo, which sets the story up perfectly for a WrestleMania showdown between the pair.

From now until January, more seeds can be sown teasing dissension among the Bloodline ranks which can all lead to Solo entering, dominating, and winning the 2024 Royal Rumble and going on to face Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at 'The Showcase of The Immortals. A lone Roman Reigns against the only man that strikes fear in him would be a compelling story suited to the WrestleMania stage and that is completely ignoring the Paul Heyman factor.

For three whole years, there has been debate about who should be the one to dethrone Reigns, but a Paul Heyman-led Solo Sikoa who was sent by The Elders to become the next 'Tribal Chief'? That is as satisfying an end to The Bloodline story as you can get and with Heyman as his mouthpiece, Solo is more than ready to step up to become a main event player filling Roman's shoes.
