The opening of the June 28 edition of Friday Night SmackDown from Madison Square Garden in New York City saw The Bloodline’s proceedings not going as per plan.
Solo Sikoa and his cohorts, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, were engaged in a brawl with their opponents at WWE Money in the Bank, Randy Orton, Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes. Following the chaos, all three men were escorted out of the building by the NYPD officers.
Later in the show, The Bloodline once again come out to officially induct Jacob Fatu into the stable as part of their scheduled Bloodline Acknowledgment Ceremony. Jacob Fatu entered the Garden despite Solo mentioning to his Wise Man, Paul Heyman, that he was not in the building.
Solo Sikoa then asked each member of his Bloodline to acknowledge him, and all three men obeyed his command. He turned to Paul Heyman to do the same with Roman Reigns’ iconic red garland and asked Heyman to acknowledge him as his “Tribal Chief.”
However, a tearful Heyman refused to do so, leading to Solo knocking him down with a Samoan Spike. Following a top rope move by Jacob Fatu, Solo ordered his trio to lay out Heyman in classic “Shield” style with a triple powerbomb on the announcer’s desk to end the show in shocking fashion.
