The upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown will see Solo Sikoa address his loss on RAW’s Netflix debut show. Not only did Sikoa lose to Roman Reigns, but he also lost the Ula Fala.
On the last episode of WWE SmackDown, Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga ran wild without the guidance of Solo Sikoa. It was announced that he would return on the upcoming episode of SmackDown.
Sikoa is no longer the Tribal Chief since he lost the Ula Fala to Roman Reigns on the first episode of RAW. The Rock, who had returned to WWE after Bad Blood, bestowed the Ula Fala on Reigns, making him the new Tribal Chief.
Rikishi teases a possible swerve on WWE SmackDown
For hardcore WWE fans, it is common knowledge that Sikoa is related to Jey and Jimmy Uso. Their father, Rikishi, has been vocal about the ongoing of The Bloodline. Ahead of the upcoming SmackDown episode, he posted something interesting.
On his official X and Instagram account, Rikishi posted an image of himself with his sons, Sikoa and The Usos. This got fans speculating whether this was a tease for what was to come.

Since Sikoa lost the Ula Fala and the right to be called the Tribal Chief, many fans speculated that Fatu and Tonga could turn on him. This would mirror what Sikoa did to Reigns after he lost at WrestleMania 41.
Fans have also been waiting for Lance Anoa’i’s debut. With Tonga Loa sidelined due to his injury, The Bloodline 2.0 has missed the third member of their group.
What could be next for Sikoa after his loss
Having the Ula Fala and the right as the Tribal Chief set Sikoa apart from The OG Bloodline. He was not only in control; he had power. After his loss on the RAW premiere show, what’s next?
Fans have speculated that Sikoa could rejoin The OG Bloodline, leaving Fatu, Tonga and Loa. Initially, fans hoped The Rock would reveal himself as the mastermind behind The Bloodline 2.0, leading to the Reigns vs Rock match at WrestleMania 41.
However, since he was the one to bestow the Ula Fala on Reigns, that would not make sense. Fans did note that The Rock did not hold up the number one sign as Reigns did after his win.
