One of the major selling points to this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw in Buffalo was Jey Uso personally delivering Solo Sikoa to his Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. Because this is pro wrestling, he earned the right to do so by defeating him in a match on last week’s show.
There’s a lot of history here, obviously, and they rehashed that right away. Sikoa was once in The Bloodline, then he tried to make his own crew, that failed, and now he’s off on his own, a man on an island, having to stare down the world heavyweight champion and the family he tried to leave behind.
Before dealing with Sikoa, Reigns anointed The Usos his captains and presented them with a black ula fala. Jacob Fatu looked hurt by this, maybe angered, but he still stepped in the very moment LA Knight ran in on the segment.
Reigns, however, put a stop to Fatu’s attack, telling him to stand down. The OTC himself stepped in to handle it, and then changed his mind. Instead, he yanked Solo up, chided him for going to Knight of all people, and then demanded he put an end to Knight himself.
“You dragged him into this, now you send him home.”
Sikoa apologized to Knight multiple times while he loaded up the Spike — and then he unloaded it on Reigns to a thunderous pop. He went into his coat and pulled out the finger pistol, pointing it at Jey. His warning shot.
Unreal aura from our man Solo here:
Knight was up then and stepped to Fatu after taking out Jimmy Uso but Jacob stood down. Reigns rushed in and was swiftly put down while Fatu looked on. In the end, the babyfaces bumped fists and walked off on their own power, all while Fatu stood in the corner looking on.
The Bloodline is still in shambles.
And business just picked up.
