The Bloodline’s ranks at WWE Backlash France saw an expansion with the inclusion of Tanga Loa. This development came with a tease from Hikuleo, a member of Loa and Tama Tonga’s family, about potentially joining the faction. The trio, all former members of Bullet Club and the Guerrillas of Destiny, have had a storied history. Hikuleo had remained with Bullet Club even after Tonga and Loa were ousted by Jay White. Yet, in a turn of events, he betrayed Switchblade to reunite with his brothers in G.O.D. On social media, Hikuleo dropped a cryptic hint that he might align with his brothers in The Bloodline, sparking speculation among fans.
Hikuleo’s current stint in New Japan Pro-Wrestling sees him teaming up with El Phantasmo. Together, they’ve clinched titles such as the IWGP Tag Team Championship and the Strong Openweight Tag Team Title. Earlier in the year, reports surfaced from Fightful Select about WWE’s interest in signing Hikuleo, though it’s still uncertain if he will make the move to the global wrestling powerhouse.
In the midst of Roman Reigns’ absence from WWE TV following his defeat at WrestleMania XL Night Two, Solo Sikoa has stepped up as the de facto leader of The Bloodline. However, TNA Wrestling alum Matt Morgan has expressed doubts about Sikoa’s readiness to assume the mantle of the new Tribal Chief. Speaking on the Gigantic Pop podcast, Morgan suggested that Jimmy or Jey Uso might have been better choices to lead the faction during Reigns’ hiatus. He acknowledged that while The Ones have turned face and are stronger on the mic, Sikoa is still developing his skills and connecting with the audience.
The Bloodline has seen significant changes in 2024, particularly with the high-profile addition of The Rock. The buildup to WrestleMania XL was marked by The Final Boss joining forces with Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman, a move that has undoubtedly reshaped the dynamics of the faction. As The Bloodline continues to evolve, the wrestling world watches with anticipation to see how these shifts will play out in the WWE landscape.
