WWE No Longer Referring To Solo Sikoa's Faction As 'The Bloodline' (WWE News)

Solo Sikoa's WWE faction will no longer be called 'The Bloodline' on television.

This is per WrestleVotes on Sportskeeda's Backstage Pass podcast, and follows Roman Reigns' victory over Sikoa to reclaim the 'Tribal Chief' nickname on the 6 January episode of Raw.

WrestleVotes said:

“In a significant storyline update, we can confirm the plan as of now, for the grouping of Solo Sikoa, Tanga Loa, and Tama Tonga is to no longer be referred to as The Bloodline. It seems as though WWE is moving away from the heels using that name as Roman’s name is now back to being Tribal Chief.”

Reigns' defeat of Sikoa seemingly ends the long-running Bloodline saga, which has dominated WWE programming for the best part of five years. In 2024, it splintered off into a civil war when Reigns took a post-WrestleMania 40 hiatus in April, enabling Solo to claim the 'Tribal Chief' monicker as his own, removing Paul Heyman and Jimmy Uso from the Bloodline in the process.

With the addition of Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu, Sikoa established a new Bloodline. Later, Bronson Reed allied with the faction to tackle the Reigns-led OG Bloodline, comprised of Roman, Sami Zayn, The Usos, and, at Survivor Series 2024, CM Punk.

The 17 January SmackDown was a heavily-jeered Sikoa return for the first time since his 6 January loss, only to leave the ring without saying a word. This facilitated a face-off between Fatu and Braun Strowman, who wrestle each other at Saturday Night's Main Event on 25 January.

There is currently no word on what the former New Bloodline will be referee to hereafter.
