Update on WWE plans for the Bloodline
Following the humiliating loss at the hands of Roman Reigns in the debut episode of Monday Night Raw on Netflix, things have only been going downhill for Solo Sikoa. On the last week’s show of SmackDown, Sikoa left without uttering a word.
According to the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio on SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Patreon, Solo Sikoa and the Bloodline will lose their name following the loss in the debut episode.
“In a significant storyline update, we can confirm the plan as of now, for the grouping of Solo Sikoa, Tanga Loa, and Tama Tonga is to no longer be referred to as The Bloodline. It seems as though WWE is moving away from the heels using that name as Roman’s name is now back to being Tribal Chief.”
Alexa Bliss’ WWE contract
Alexa Bliss has been away from WWE and was last seen at Royal Rumble 2023, after which she was on maternity leave. Since then the fandom has been waiting for her return and earlier reports suggested that she would be making her return on the Red brand.
