Five reasons Solo Sikoa should avoid rejoining Roman Reigns' Bloodline

Solo Sikoa lost a singles match to Jey Uso on the August 10 episode of RAW and, under the match stipulation, is required to rejoin Roman Reigns’ Bloodline. The defeat follows weeks in which Sikoa repeatedly declined Reigns’ orders to return to the faction.

Solo Sikoa has spent two years establishing himself as an independent presence on WWE programming and has been a central focus of The Bloodline storyline. He originally arrived on the main roster as Roman Reigns’ Enforcer but has since developed a separate identity through his in-ring work and crowd-facing antics. That individual momentum is the principal reason commentators and fans have questioned whether a reunion with the faction would serve his career.

One concern cited is that Sikoa’s recent rise rests on his work as a singles performer; joining the Bloodline risks subsuming that progress into a collective role. The article notes that his “impressive in-ring work and his ability to captivate the audience with his antics” have driven the momentum he currently enjoys.

A return to the group also raises the prospect of Sikoa reverting to a supporting Enforcer-type position beneath Reigns. The piece points out that Jacob Fatu has been brought in to fill the Enforcer void, and argues that having two similarly cast stars would add little value to the stable and could stall Solo’s forward trajectory.

Another argument against rejoining is creative: the Bloodline benefits from strong external challengers, and Sikoa’s presence on the outside would provide that opposition. The report suggests that Sikoa remaining independent preserves the possibility of a World title program with Roman Reigns and references Sikoa’s previous run with the OTC, including their Tribal Combat bout in January 2025, as evidence of the pair’s ability to carry such a feud.

Despite those reasons, the stipulated outcome of the August 10 match mandates Sikoa’s return to the faction next week on Raw. The article makes clear the contractual storyline consequence: following the loss to Jey, Solo must rejoin his family on the next episode.

The August 17 edition of WWE Raw will emanate live from the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York; Roman Reigns, Oba Femi, Seth Rollins, Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, Sol Ruca, and Penta are listed as featured superstars for the show.
