6 Ups & 1 Down From WWE SmackDown (April 19 - Results & Review)

1. More Bloodline Brutality

Bloody hell. Literally!

Solo Sikoa being rebellious and seemingly going against Roman's directives is fab, and Paul Heyman's reactions to all of the chaos going on in the ranks of The Bloodline were wonderful yet again. Perhaps best of all, newcomer Tama Tonga is already coming across as an out and out killer who's vicious enough to help Solo achieve his goals.

Tonga took out Jimmy Uso last week, then bloodied up innocent bystander Kevin Owens on Friday. That came after Tama had already rammed his car into KO's out in the parking lot. SmackDown GM Nick Aldis was appalled by that, and warned Heyman that such brutality wouldn't go unpunished if it continued.

This is all building up rather nicely, and could eventually lead to a Reigns babyface turn once he's ready to make a TV comeback. It's clear that Sikoa fancies seizing power, Tonga is there to help him, and that Heyman can't do anything about it. Either Roman or The Rock will need to sort all of this trouble out.

Bring it on. That KO beatdown angle was superb.
