The long-standing tensions within The Bloodline have reached a boiling point, culminating in a historic announcement on this week’s SmackDown. The Original Tribal Chief Roman Reigns officially challenged Solo Sikoa to a Tribal Combat match for the Ula Fala, set to take place on the highly anticipated WWE Raw Netflix debut on January 6, 2025.
Roman Reigns Declares War on Solo Sikoa
On this week’s SmackDown, Roman Reigns cut a promo about his next move. In an emotional promo, Reigns reflected on a turbulent year where he lost not only the WWE Championship but also his family’s trust and unity. Roman Reigns further addressed Solo, reminding him that the Ula Fala wasn’t something he took—it was given to him by their father and uncle.
“This isn’t just about titles or positions,” Reigns stated. “This is about respect. It’s about family. And on January 6, I will take back my Bloodline, the Ula Fala, and the respect that was stripped from me. Once I have it, the world will have no choice but to acknowledge me.”
Official Announcement
Later on SmackDown, WWE officials confirmed the match, Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat. This match will determine the rightful leader of The Bloodline, symbolized by the Ula Fala, a sacred Samoan artifact representing their family’s legacy.
The Bloodline Saga
The feud between Reigns and Sikoa has been started ever since The Bloodline broke up earlier this year. With The Usos going against Reigns, Solo Sikoa stepped into a more prominent role. He later surprised everyone by carrying the Ula Fala and proclaimed him as Tribal Chief, a move that many viewed as a direct challenge to Reigns’ authority.
Now, with family honor and respect on the line, this Tribal Combat match has become more than just a battle—it’s a deeply personal war.
