Folks, what a week it’s been in the world of WWE. In case you missed it, Roman “I’m Back, Baby” Reigns made a triumphant return to “WWE SmackDown” and decided to clean house like a disgruntled landlord evicting tenants who are late on rent. With his notorious stare and a gleam in his eye, Reigns gave Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga the kind of beatdown usually reserved for someone who cut in line at the buffet. Solo Sikoa, ever the cunning escape artist, managed to slip out like a wrestling Houdini, but not without leaving behind a little something-something for the ‘Gram.
Let me tell you, folks, Sikoa didn’t take to a podium or hold a press conference. Oh no. He did what every self-respecting, modern-day contender for the throne does—he hopped on Instagram. That’s right, Sikoa went all “Mean Girls” on Reigns with a dramatic caption, “You lied to me,” under a nostalgic throwback of Reigns crowning him the “Tribal Prince” back in December 2023. The drama, folks! Could Sikoa be our very own WWE Regina George? Time will tell.
Now, why all this drama, you ask? Rewind to WrestleMania 40, where Reigns was dethroned faster than a bad contestant on a reality TV show. Sikoa, always the opportunist, pointed fingers at Jimmy Uso, gave him the boot, and promptly recruited Tonga Loa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu to create his own version of The Bloodline. It’s like watching a game of musical chairs, but with more suplexes and less music.
Paul Heyman, loyal only to his baritone voice and not this new regime, got kicked to the curb too—no “Wiseman” wanted in Sikoa’s splinter cell of The Bloodline. It seems that loyalty these days is as fleeting as a Snapchat story. Fatu and Tonga even grabbed the WWE Tag Team Championship from #DIY, adding more gold to their collection and further fueling this WWE soap opera.
But here’s the kicker: Fatu, conveniently sidelined with a storyline injury, hasn’t faced Reigns since his return. Coincidence? Strategy? Or maybe just a delayed showdown to keep us on the edge of our seats—who can say? What we do know is this: Sikoa’s not backing down, Reigns isn’t going anywhere, and the WWE ring might just explode from all this pent-up tension.
