Solo Sikoa finally breaks away from The Bloodline.
Solo Sikoa has made his position clear: he will not return to Roman Reigns’ Bloodline. The former Tribal Chief challenger turned on Reigns during the closing moments of Monday’s RAW in Buffalo, New York, before leaving the arena alongside LA Knight.
The confrontation had been building for weeks. On the August 10 episode of RAW, Jey Uso defeated Sikoa following interference from Jimmy Uso, forcing Solo to be brought before Reigns. WWE had billed the following confrontation as the “delivery” of Solo to the World Heavyweight Champion.
Reigns entered the latest RAW alongside Jacob Fatu and summoned Solo to the ring. After Sikoa arrived with The Usos, Reigns referenced their Tribal Combat encounter from June 1, 2025, when he defeated Solo and reclaimed his position as Tribal Chief.
Reigns then demanded that Solo kneel. Fatu attacked Sikoa with a superkick before applying the Tongan Death Grip, only releasing the hold when Reigns ordered him to stop.

Reigns subsequently named Jimmy and Jey his “captains” and presented them with black necklaces as part of his attempt to rebuild The Bloodline following WrestleMania 42.
That plan quickly fell apart when LA Knight interrupted the segment. A brawl broke out, with Reigns eventually dropping Knight with a Superman Punch before ordering Solo to attack his former ally and prove his loyalty.
For a moment, Sikoa appeared ready to follow the order. He grabbed Knight and even apologized to him, but the apparent act of obedience was a setup.
Solo suddenly turned and delivered a Samoan Spike to Reigns. He followed that up with another Samoan Spike on Jey, making his decision unmistakable.
Knight then hit Jimmy with the BFT before catching Reigns with the same move after reversing a Superman Punch attempt. Sikoa and Knight subsequently left the ring together while Reigns watched on.
The segment also appears to have strengthened WWE’s plans for Solo as a babyface. WRKD Wrestling reported:
“As shared by us last week, Solo’s face run wasn’t in danger with tonight’s segment. The reception has been positive both on and off screen.”
That report suggests WWE is comfortable continuing with Solo’s face run following his decision to stand against Reigns. Rather than simply becoming another faction member, Sikoa could now have an opportunity to establish himself independently on RAW.
At the same time, Solo could establish himself as a standalone threat rather than immediately joining another faction. His history with Reigns, Fatu and The Usos gives WWE plenty of material for a potential feud.
What’s next for Solo Sikoa?
Solo’s decision creates several possibilities moving forward. His alliance with LA Knight could develop into a temporary partnership, particularly with both men now having a common enemy in Reigns and his rebuilt Bloodline.

The biggest question is whether Reigns will retaliate. With Jacob Fatu already involved, Solo could soon find himself facing multiple members of his former family faction.
