Bloody chaos ensued as tensions between Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman, simmering since WrestleMania, resurfaced. The feud reached a boiling point on June 28, 2024, at the end of SmackDown, when Sikoa joined his new friends in attacking the former Hall of Famer. The estranged relationship between Heyman and Bloodline was ruined by an emotional betrayal that left fans in disbelief.
Jacob Fatou’s Power Shift
The intensity of the episode increased when Jacob Fatu appeared. Fatu is known for his aggressiveness in the ring, and his introduction adds an extra layer of angst to the show. When Roman Reigns took a break after losing the title, WWE brought in Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and Jacob Fatu, ensuring that the blood feud continued.
Seriously, Sikoa revealed that he lied to Heyman about Fatu’s presence, saying that Fatu was too bad for the team. But the truth is, Fatu is there, watching from behind the shadows what happened. The revelation came at a surprising moment when Fatu, now affiliated with Sikoa, threw a vicious rope attack on Heyman, followed by a vicious attack that sent Heyman crashing through the announce table.
Result: Heyman’s stretched version
The results of the attack are just as shocking as the action itself. Paul Heyman was the cornerstone who walked out of the ring, surprising fans and WWE Superstars. This betrayal marks a major change in Bloodline’s story, foreshadowing more chaos and conflict within the group.

WWE Strategy: Heyman Isolation
The decision to leave Heyman out of the matches and not endorse him seems like a strategic move by WWE to promote a new villain group. Heyman’s refusal to recognize Sikoa as the new leader drew a response from the crowd at Madison Square Garden, who cheered him on. Not only did this move increase the displeasure, but it also set the stage for Roman Reigns to return to babyface form.
By leaving Heyman to face the threat of The New Bloodline, WWE planted the seeds for Reigns’ return. The storyline now places Reigns as Heyman’s savior, creating an interesting story that will see the former champion return to save his old friend and mentor.
A new part of the Bloodline
As the story of Bloodline progresses, recent developments breathe new life into the story. Paul Heyman’s betrayal and subsequent punishment caused a fallout that would affect future episodes of SmackDown. With the return of Reigns and the new leadership of Bloodline, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter of this epic story.
