Paul Heyman is attacked by the Bloodline at WWE SmackDown

Paul Heyman said Solo Sikoa was not his “tribal chief” and he paid for it.

The Bloodline held a Bloodline Recognition Ceremony on the June 28 episode of WWE SmackDown. It came amid weeks of tension between Solo Sikoa, who has taken over as the stable’s leader in Roman Reigns’ absence, and Paul Heyman.

Sikoa demanded recognition on Friday night. Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu did as they were told. However, in an act of defiance, Heyman said he acknowledged that Sikoa was not his “tribal chief.” Sikoa then knocked Heyman down with a Samoan Spike.
