The Rock to send former ally? – 4 WWE stars who could replace Paul Heyman in Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline amid Roman Reigns return rumors

Sport — 01/07/2024 · 0 Comment

The Bloodline assaulted Paul Heyman at the end of SmackDown after the WWE Hall of Famer refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief. With Heyman out of the picture, Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline needs a new Wiseman.

There are many veterans who are solid contenders to become Sikoa’s Special Counsel because of their links with The Bloodline in the past. So without further ado, let’s take a look at four potential replacements for Paul Heyman in the new Bloodline.

#4. WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi

Rikishi would be one of the best choices to manage The Bloodline. He is a part of the Anoa’i family and the father of The Usos and Solo Sikoa, so he would fit the role of the new Wiseman perfectly.

The new Bloodline will likely end up with The Rock as The Tribal Chief once he returns to replace Solo Sikoa. A feud between Roman Reigns’ Bloodline and Rock’s Bloodline would also plant the seeds for a singles match between the two cousins in the future.

The Rock sending Rikishi would make sense as the two men have worked together in the past. During the Attitude Era, the WWE Hall of Famer ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin with a car and later confessed that he “did it for The Rock.”

Rikishi joining The Bloodline as the new Wiseman has a strong possibility of happening as he sent a cryptic hint about it on his podcast back in May.

#3. Jimmy Hart

Jimmy Hart is one of the most legendary managers in the history of pro wrestling. He managed major stars like Hulk Hogan, The Honky Tonk Man, and was also the mouthpiece of The Hart Foundation for a while.

The WWE Hall of Famer has made several appearances for the Stamford-based promotion in recent years. He would add a lot of charisma to The Bloodline if he returned and acknowledged Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief.

The story about The Bloodline is the most popular angle WWE has booked in a long time and adding Jimmy Hart to it would make it even more interesting.

Besides, Paul Heyman took shots at Hart last year as the former called himself a better manager than the latter. This would be the ultimate opportunity for Hart to get back at Heyman.

#2. Haku

Haku would be another fitting choice to replace Paul Heyman in The Bloodline. The WWE legend is closely related to the Anoa’i family and is the biological father of Tonga Loa. He also adopted Tama Tonga and his brother Hikuleo when they were very young.

Hikuleo is rumored to join The Bloodline in the future, so Haku returning to manage his sons would be a very logical move. Moreover, the Stamford-based company could use Haku and his sons to plant the seeds for the formation of a purely Tongan Bloodline in the future.

The Rock considers Haku his uncle, so him being behind the potential return of the WWE legend would also make a lot of sense if the company goes in that direction.

#1. Armando Estrada

Armando Estrada is another name who has history with the Anoa’i family and would prove to be a great Wiseman for The Bloodline. The 45-year-old was a part of WWE more than a decade ago and used to manage the late great Umaga.

He also managed Jacob Fatu on the independent wrestling circuit and teased returning to WWE to replace Paul Heyman after the ending to the most recent episode of SmackDown.

A Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline being managed by Estrada would be perfect due to the fact that Sikoa considers Umaga one of his idols. He even uses the Samoan Spike as his finishing move to pay tribute to the legend.
