As WWE enjoying their latest boom period, The Bloodline continues to be one of the company’s most important bands. The faction helped Triple H turn the promotion’s fortunes around, with Roman Reigns’ monumental world title reign being the pinnacle of main event storylines in recent years.

WWE: a retrospective on each betrayal of the Bloodline saga
The Bloodline was a hugely successful storyline for WWE, defined by Roman Reigns and other key members of the faction taking dramatic turns.
Solo Sikoa continues to lead the remaining lineage which includes Tama Tonga and the exciting Jacob Fatu, but the faction’s luster has undoubtedly waned in recent times. As Roman Reigns and The Usos head off in different directions, it’s clear that the group is becoming less important to WWE, which is why it will soon be time to end The Bloodline for good.
WWE rushed to the end of the line
Roman Reigns’ recent victory over Solo Sikoa ended all remaining affairs
- The Original Bloodline faced Solo Sikoa’s new Bloodline with the help of CM Punk at Survivor Series 2024.
- Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, Punk and The Usos defeated Solo Sikoa’s group in WarGames.
- Reigns then defeated Sikoa on the first episode of Raw on Netflix to re-establish himself as “tribal leader.”
Part of The Bloodline’s recent slowdown is because WWE has chosen to fast-track some of the remaining story elements that were left behind over the past few months. Namely, The OG Bloodline defeating Solo Sikoa’s new Bloodline at Survivor Series means that not only did Roman Reigns and The Usos reunite, but they also took on the group’s dissidents and won.

10 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Bloodline
Although The Bloodline is one of the most popular stables in WWE history, fans still have several misconceptions about the group.
Of course, WWE could and will likely continue to have Reigns and The Usos interact with Solo’s Bloodline in some capacity over the next few months, but the main part of the story has been taken care of. Roman defeated Sikoa on the debut of Raw on Netflix to cement himself as a true “tribe leader” and, truth be told, he now appears to be above all the Bloodline drama.
It feels like Triple H decided to run through the remaining story threads of The Bloodline before WrestleMania to move on from the story afterwards. It’s also possible that he was preparing WWE for a potential return of The Rock at WrestleMania 41, which doesn’t appear to be coming to fruition as it effectively killed off his potential feuds with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.
Original lineage members move on
The lineage needs Roman Reigns and the participation of the Usos
- The original Bloodline remains important and explains why Solo Sikoa leads a distinct version of the group.
- As Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, and The Usos move forward, the reason for the faction’s existence ceases to exist.
- The Rock’s apparent exit from The Bloodline saga more or less ties up the last bit of the storyline.
Much like Solo Sikoa and his new Bloodline have done to establish their version of the group over the past year, it’s clear that this is an imitation of the original faction led by Roman Reigns. As “The Head of the Table” recedes from the story, investment in the group will continue to decline until Sikoa’s version falters in one way or another.

WWE’s best storyline could end with a whimper
After Roman Reigns beat Solo Sikoa on the first Netflix Raw, is it for the Bloodline drama?
The Bloodline became such a compelling act thanks to the work Reigns, Paul Heyman, Sami Zayn, and The Usos did to make it a cutting-edge sports entertainment storyline. Without these characters’ involvement, the group naturally won’t feel the same way, meaning the group will have to end when the original members leave for good.
While The Rock broke away from the storyline during his bizarre Raw promo where he joked with Cody Rhodes, it’s clear that the last remaining piece of The Bloodline’s storyline had been nipped in the bud. Roman could have confronted The Rock over their pending dispute which also appears to have been ignored, meaning all of Bloodline’s business has effectively been concluded.
WWE may leave the lineage
There are many more stars who can help WWE succeed
- Coming out of The Bloodline may be difficult for WWE, but they are well equipped to do it.
- The likes of Cody Rhodes, Gunther, and Kevin Owens can fill the void left by the faction.
- Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu can succeed on an individual level once The Bloodline ends.
Although it may seem difficult for WWE to move on from its cash cow in The Bloodline saga, it is necessary for WWE to continue its successful streak. Wrestling has a habit of stretching out its biggest storylines too long, whether it’s the nWo in WCW or Steve Austin’s run to the top during the Attitude Era. It is wise for a promoter to move from a successful project early on to creating hype around other acts and storylines.

The nWo was once the largest faction in wrestling history. However, it ended up becoming a real disaster. Here’s why the nWo imploded.
WWE is fortunate to now have so many other performers who could contribute in the same way The Bloodline did for years. For example, Cody Rhodes is poised to become the next John Cena, while the man himself will return for his final run in 2025. Other stars like Gunther, Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens continue to excel under Triple H and might yet have their best work. yet to come.
As for the other members of Bloodine themselves, Solo Sikoa has risen to the place he was given and will surely find success in WWE in the years to come. Jacob Fatu continues to be the most exciting unknown in the company and could rise to the very top of the card whenever The Bloodline moves on. Jey Uso showed the path to individual stardom after his release from The Bloodline, and Jimmy also began his career in singles.
The future remains bright for WWE and the various contributors to The Bloodline saga over the years and Triple H shouldn’t be afraid to leave the legendary stable after WrestleMania 41. What should worry him is that the faction continues to rumble for too long. , thereby diminishing the inheritance he earned through his important work over the past few years.
