Paul Heyman does not recognize Solo Sikoa, is attacked by the bloodline

Poor Paul Heyman. Since the aftermath of WrestleMania 40, where Solo Sikoa took control of The Bloodline, brought in new members, and named himself the new Tribal Chief, Paul Heyman has looked worried, lost, and like he hasn’t slept in months.

On last night’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, a recognition ceremony took place where Sikoa was indeed named the Bloodline Chief. One by one, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu recognized Sikoa, and then it was “the wise man” Paul Heyman’s turn. Heyman pulled out the red Samoan lei and was given Roman Reigns’s belongings to place around Sikoa’s neck. This was the last straw for Heyman, who tearfully declared that he did NOT recognize Sikoa as his Chief.

Sikoa hit Heyman with a Samoan Spike, Jacob Fatu took him down with a splash, and in a shocking moment, Heyman was powerbombed through the announce table. Heyman has rarely gotten physical in WWE in recent years, and seeing the 58-year-old destroyed in such a way was certainly a sign for the “new” Bloodline.
