What should the next chapters look like, though?

Let’s take a look.

Continue the Redesign

The arrival of the former Guerrillas of Destiny has added an element of danger and unpredictability to The Bloodline that it hasn’t had before. Aggression and intensity make this group incarnation wholly different from the one spearheaded by Roman Reigns. That will only increase with the addition of Jacob Fatu.

The free-agent competitor signed with WWE in April and while he has yet to appear, will add freakish athleticism and more size to the faction. He will add to the gang mentality that Sikoa has approached the group with since seemingly seizing control of the Bloodline post-WrestleMania.

Fatu and Sikoa have teamed before, dating back to the latter’s pre-WWE days, so there is a familiarity there. Bringing him on board just when it looks like the group may be in peril would be the right move creatively, not unlike what we saw with Loa at Backlash, seconds before Orton and Owens were about to secure a victory.

Bloodline Civil War

We saw a tense interaction between Sikoa and Jey Uso at Backlash, followed by Paul Heyman shaking his head as if to warn the popular babyface not to cross his brother and Co., the first indication there is business to be done between the two sides.

A scenario where Sikoa costs Jey the World Heavyweight Championship, a title he is unlikely to be finished challenging for, would spark the civil war for Bloodline supremacy. The return of Jimmy Uso and a reunion between The Usos would be the next logical step as the brothers try to combat their power-hungry sibling.

A showdown between The Usos and Guerrillas of Destiny is a high-profile tag match the company could easily promote for SummerSlam, thanks to the rich history and undeniable success of both.

Of course, the ultimate endgame is the return of Roman Reigns, who would reunite with The Usos to battle the new Bloodline, presumably in time for War Games at Survivor Series. Down a man, it would be even more appropriate for the trio to turn to former Honorary Uce, Sami Zayn, to complete the foursome.

The bigger question is whether WWE is content to allow Sikoa to be The Tribal Chief or if there is a bigger endgame at play involving The Rock. If so, the obvious direction is Reigns vs. Rock, but with The Final Boss appearing to be busy with Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, when and where that contest takes place would be the real question because the idea that it could be held off until WrestleMania 42 seems rather risky and improbable.

Either way, Sikoa and Co. are fixing to be a major part of WWE programming moving forward, central figures in a redemption arc for Reigns and one of the more emotional reunions in recent history.
