3. This Worked A Treat

Take yet another bow, Paul Heyman.

The maestro manager opened SmackDown by hesitantly announcing that Tama Tonga is now the new "Right Hand Man", and that Tonga Loa is "Infamous". Both are official members of The Bloodline, and Solo Sikoa is your new "Tribal Chief". Heyman was awesome here, as expected. He was a trembling mess.

Fans chanted for Roman Reigns, so it'll be one hell of a special moment when he returns to action and puts Solo in his place. He'll also lambast Tama and Loa for pretty much bullying Paul E into doing as they say. The way both Tongas bumped into Heyman and passive aggressively threatened him was fab.

Meanwhile, Sikoa looked on with a sinister smile. He's getting a kick out of this power trip, which Heyman knows but it powerless to stop. Honestly, WWE deserve a medal for keeping this Bloodline stuff interesting for approx four years. How the heck have they managed that?!
