The Bloodline is arguably one of the top stables in WWE history, whether led by Roman Reigns or Solo Sikoa. However, the leadership shift is not the only change the group recently experienced.
The Bloodline has seen major changes since its establishment in 2021 until now. The group was initially composed of Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Paul Heyman. After WWE WrestleMania XL, Solo Sikoa assumed the position of Tribal Chief, removed Jimmy and the Hall of Famer, and added Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. Due to the changes, especially in leadership, differences have been seen in the group.
For this list, we will look at three major differences between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa's versions of The Bloodline.

#3. Solo Sikoa's Bloodline is more unified
Roman Reigns' formation of The Bloodline began with some problems. Initially, The Usos weren't on board, and The Original Tribal Chief even feuded with Jey for a while before convincing the duo to join him, but that was never the case for the former North American Champion.
Sikoa’s leadership has brought a different kind of unity to the group. Since taking over, Solo brought in the Tongans and Jacob Fatu without any initial tension, unlike The Usos, who had a history and bad blood with the former Undisputed Champion. This leads to a version that operates with a deeper understanding despite their positions.
#2. Solo Sikoa treats his members with more respect
Roman and Solo's battle for power and the position of Tribal Chief is one the highlights of their rivalry. Both men hold leadership positions, yet they approach their roles and treatment of group members quite differently.
Roman often treats The Usos, and even Solo, as less than his equals and continuously reminds them that he is The Head of the Table. Meanwhile, Solo acknowledges and respects the strengths each member brings to the group while still reminding everybody that he is the new Tribal Chief.
#1. Solo Sikoa had Roman Reigns to learn from
When Roman started The Bloodline in 2021, everything was new to him. Despite having Heyman’s guidance, both men were navigating a new dynamic and figuring things out as they went along. However, this wasn't a problem for Solo.
Solo entered The Bloodline with a different advantage. By observing Roman’s victories and mistakes, he learned what would and wouldn't work within the group and how to succeed independently. Reigns became an unwilling teacher to his eventual enemy.
