During a backstage segment on the June 12 episode of WWE SmackDown, the ongoing Bloodline civil war took an intense turn. Jacob Fatu, now acting as Roman Reigns’ subservient henchman after losing to the OTC in a Tribal Combat match at Clash in Italy, approached Solo Sikoa. Fatu delivered a direct message from Reigns, stating that the Tribal Chief wants Solo to return to the group.
Sikoa rejected the offer and mocked The Samoan Werewolf for no longer being a “k*ller” and acting like Roman’s “lap dog.” He then concluded by stating that if Roman wants him back, he needs to come and get him himself.
Thanks for the submission!
For weeks, Sikoa had been actively trying to pull Royce Keys into the MFTs. Tonight, he sent a warning to the former AEW star ahead of the main event match.
Royce Keys is set to compete in the first round of the 2026 WWE King of the Ring tournament against Jey Uso, LA Knight, and Finn Balor. Ahead of the bout, Cathy Kelley caught up with the former AEW star backstage. However, the segment was interrupted by The MFT leader.
Sikoa told Keys that The Bloodline is in the building and he knows what play they’re running, and that Jacob Fatu is there to help Jey Uso advance in the King of the Ring tournament. Sikoa told Keys that he wasn’t looking to make his night harder. He then warned him that he doesn’t want him to become a casualty in Roman Reigns’ war.
It will be interesting to see who qualifies for the next round of the WWE King of the Ring Tournament in the main event.
