It seems that Solo Sikoa’s recent hot streak has a major purpose, but it may also be to strengthen his character so it does not get overshadowed by the debut of another new member of The Bloodline.

There has been no bigger and better storyline in the professional wrestling industry than the ongoing Bloodline Saga. The group fronted by former WWE champion Roman Reigns has captivated wrestling fans for the last three years. However, the faction seems to be heading into a new phase.

With Reigns taking a sabbatical following his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, cousin Solo Sikoa has exerted his control over the group by force. Beyond jumping his brother Jimmy Uso out of the faction, he has also brought in two new members. Former NJPW tag champions Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa. The latter’s recent debut was a bit of a surprise.

There had been rumors for weeks that Tonga had signed a deal with the company, but few knew that Loa’s contract with NJPW had ended. Furthermore, another member of the family — Jacob Fatu — has reportedly signed a contract and his debut is expected to be imminent.

WWE scared Jacob Fatu will outshine Solo Sikoa?

While WWE decision-makers are excited about the former MLW star’s debut but are also a bit worried about how it might affect Solo Sikoa, according to the popular X wrestling account WrestleVotes.

Sources suggest that Solo Sikoa’s recent aggressive streak is part of a strategy to establish him as ‘the’ main force within this new phase of the Bloodline, ahead of Jacob Fatu’s debut. However, some trepidation remains within creative over fear that Fatu’s presence could outshine Solo at this stage,” the account wrote.

Fatu has a look similar to another member of the family in deceased former WWE star Umaga. However, he is even more athletic and won’t be playing the role of a wild savage. He had a year-long run as the heavyweight king of MLW, and it will be interesting to see how WWE handles his debut once it comes.
