Solo Sikoa reacts to unexpectedly turning on Roman Reigns in WWE SmackDown promo

The Bloodline's leader Solo Sikoa has reacted to his own bold message to Roman Reigns earlier tonight on WWE SmackDown. Sikoa took a massive shot at Reigns over his big WrestleMania XL loss to Cody Rhodes.

Roman Reigns hasn't appeared on WWE TV since losing to The American Nightmare. On the blue brand tonight, Solo declared himself The Tribal Chief. He then took a shot at Reigns for losing at The Show of Shows.

"Roman Reigns was not man enough to defend our title at WrestleMania. He wasn't man enough to defend our legacy against Cody Rhodes and his legacy. Therefore, he shall no longer call himself The Tribal Chief because I'm the Tribal Chief now."

Shortly after, Solo took to Instagram to react to the promo.

Here's the story he posted:

It's clear as day that the power that came with the title of The Bloodline's leader has corrupted Solo. Reigns was the one who crowned him the future Tribal Chief last year, much to Jimmy Uso's disappointment then.

Reigns will return to WWE somewhere down the line, possibly even at SummerSlam 2024. Judging by Solo's promo, it looks like a massive feud between the two men is on the horizon.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
