The May 1, 2026, episode of WWE SmackDown added another chapter to the Bloodline story, with Solo Sikoa issuing a direct warning to Roman Reigns.
During the episode, Damian Priest and R-Truth successfully defended their WWE Men’s Tag Team Titles against Fraxiom. But what happened next quickly changed everything.
Right after the match, Talla Tonga rushed into the ring and started attacking everyone. He slammed R-Truth into the ring post and took down the other competitors with his massive chokeslams.
Standing behind all of this was the leader of MFT, Solo Sikoa.
Solo Sikoa warns Roman Reigns after Usos incident on SmackDown
Solo Sikoa took the mic and spoke about Jacob Fatu. He said Fatu made a big mistake by going after his group last week. Sikoa reminded everyone that his faction is built on family, so attacking one member means attacking all. He warned that when Fatu shows up, he will be “a dead man walking.”
Then Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso made their entrance. They stepped in on behalf of Roman Reigns.
Jimmy said that while Sikoa has issues with Fatu, Roman has a bigger issue with Sikoa himself. He added that Fatu’s real mistake wasn’t attacking MFT, it was going after Roman Reigns. Jey added more emotion by talking about the “Tongan Death Grip” used by Fatu. He said it’s a sacred move passed down through generations.
The Usos then made it clear that whatever Sikoa wants to do would have to wait until Reigns gets has his way with Fatu. Jey then said that they were “not asking” Sikoa, they were “telling” him.
But Sikoa didn’t care. He signaled Talla Tonga, who attacked Jimmy and Jey and took them down. As they lay on the mat, Sikoa delivered his message to Reigns.
“You tell Roman Reigns that he ain’t my Tribal Chief. What he says, we don’t give a damn. So, whether Roman likes it or not, Jacob is a dead man,” Sikoa said.
This moment pushes the Bloodline story further. Since losing Tribal Combat in 2025, Roman Reigns has come back strong as the Original Tribal Chief. At the same time, Sikoa has built his own group, rejecting Reigns’ leadership.
Things get even more complicated with Jacob Fatu. Once part of Sikoa’s side, he is now on his own path and is set to challenge Reigns at WWE Backlash. Even though the Usos tried to bring him into the fray, Fatu chose to stand alone.
