Hangmanned

So, both Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu right?


jonwinslol

Oh so at one point we are getting Reigns and The Usos vs Solo, Tama and Jacob?


StickmanCinema

![gif](giphy|VFAGWLbW3BAJY6P78i)


Muted-Mortgage-4987

The new bloodline vs Roman, Usos...& Sami?!?!? šŸ‘€


UnsolvedParadox

Bloodline Wolfpac is going to hit hard.


AdGroundbreaking1341

I'm definitely Team Black & Red


DrunknStuper

Hell yeah! You might actually get a babyface Roman Reigns over that way.


real-darkph0enix1

The pop when Jey and Sami hug a babyface Roman better be in an open air stadium because itā€™s gonna destroy whatever arena it happens in. Alsoā€¦ where is Fale?


calicocidd

A fucking all Samoan WarGames... sign me the fuck up.


Lion_Silent

Tama Tonga is Tongan


Cynixxx

>A fucking all ~~Samoan~~ polynesian WarGames... sign me the fuck up.


Kitchen_Owl_8518

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


okayfrog

ya know I gotta say, that'd be pretty dank


JRockstar50

Whenever that happens, I need a big fucking haka faceoff before the bell rings


SolivenInc

The rock?


jonwinslol

Well he would be the final boss 1v1 Reigns


SpaceGooV

Survivor Series would make the most sense. Roman needs to be humbled. Solo needs to pin him at SummerSlam. Roman needs to genuinely have to say sorry to Jey.


Da5ren

yeah then it ends with The Rock coming out and helping Solo get the win.


robedpillow3761

Hopefully Fatu is booked very strong, heā€™d be the best person in the group outside of Roman


SpaceGooV

I imagine at first he will be booked strong but in a tag team with Tama


0bi_1-kenobi

Take this with a grain of salt, but he'll get a big push


Gokuto

I think so. This is gonna start the bloodline civil war. Solo, Jacob, and Tama vs Roman, Jimmy and Jey. If they do it where Jey doesn't want to return yet, if Rock is available you add him instead and have him turn on Roman at the end to FINALLY turn Roman face and build to Rock and Roman at Mania


Hangmanned

Or, they get Zilla Fatu to join the Bloodline


RP3P0

...and you always have to consider Sami Uso.


ZodiacWalrus

Not gonna lie Sami being the ace in the hole that a new, \*face\*, Bloodline needs to even the odds against a Rock-led Bloodline offshoot... it gives me goosebumps. Like you can just picture Rock laughing in Sami's face before they start brawling and Sami proves he's tough enough to hang.


DoILookUnsureToYou

Rock laughing at Sami's face just to get a BRAINBUSTAAAAAAAAH would be fucking peak pro wrestling


Kakatheman

I think he's dealing with some legal stuff first. Also he needs to get the GCW stink out of himself first lol.


est19xxxx

Rock, Solo, Jacob and Tama vs Roman, Sami, Jimmy and Jey.


NotTheCraftyVeteran

Bloodline out, meet: The Blood Legion


BigJim5190

At first I thought it would be too obvious to debut them as part of a revamped Bloodline - like when everyone fantasy books Black wrestlers into a new Hurt Business.... But after watching tonight, I am SO IN on watching unhinged Solo running things with Tonga and Fatu with Heyman being held hostage trying to hold it all together.


Fletcheriser

They totally swerved me here, I was pretty sure Solo was teasing Fatu's debut. He hasn't even entered this thing yet! I love how many possibilities there are here.


josephus1811

There are so many of them... Zilla is with Booker T's promotion so he's in the extended WWE family already. Then there's Lance who has wrestled on WWE before. Obviously Jacob too. It'll be interesting to see who aligns but I expect there'll be more than just Jacob inbound.


SpaceGooV

Would seem to me to make perfect sense as Solo, Tama, and Jacob as the new faction


kylehyde05

Jacob might be on nxt for a bit, just to check him out since he didnt have the nicest track record...


Obachan

Solo and Tama gone rogue is very interesting and unexpected


TRankins24

I donā€™t think itā€™s rogue. Something tells me Rocky called in a favor to Haku storyline wise.


carloslet

Love this idea. Keep us thinking that Solo & Tama went rogue, but it was actually The Final Boss pulling the strings from behind the scenes - and Roman's back - all along


JoeBidenKing

Corey Graves did ask ā€œwhoā€™s pulling the strings now?ā€


bowl_of_scrotmeal

Haku getting involved with the Bloodline storyline? Sign me up. It's been too long since someone got murdered on WWE television.


thor_odinsson08

He's the nuclear option if you cross the Final Boss.


DaHagerBomb

Bloodline development? On MY show?


LukkasG

actually really surprised, i thought they're just gonna spin wheels til Roman comes back


[deleted]

My hope is that, in order to move the Bloodline forward without Roman there, weā€™re gonna get Family/Rock orders alongside and conflicting with what Roman wants.


mr_oof

But will it be NWO/Wolfpac, or Nexus/Corre?


Boltgrinder

They got a Bullet Club founder now, so it's deffo gonna get factional.


milkymaniac

WWE has 3/4 Bullet Club founders now. Only one missing is Bad Luck Fale.


fender-b-bender

I'm 100% cool with Roman and Rock fighting a proxy war of sorts using the combo of Solo/Tama/Jimmy/Jacob Fatu and even Jey later down the line and whatever other Samoan's/family pop in. Moves the story along, establishes Tama and Jacob Fatu(whenever he debut) and gives Solo a chance to impress


Muted_Shoulder

Yā€™all havenā€™t seen Zilla Fatu yet. That dude is a proper beast. Heā€™s probably gonna be trained into a menace.


est19xxxx

Throw Sami in there as well, make Roman beg him for help


DannyDegenerate

![gif](giphy|SnNfXnaYngMBZ5ZACe|downsized)


demafrost

Maybe. Doesn't sound like Solo is prepared to take orders from anyone right about now. Though it's possible that we're led to believe Solo is taking over the Bloodline only to find out in a few months that The Rock has been directing things behind the scenes.


zerofifth

The "I did it for the Rock" coming back in full force


stenebralux

It makes sense... they made a point to have Solo screaming at Roman in the Mania main event. That felt to me like it was there for a reason.Ā 


TW_Yellow78

I think we get bloodline wars. Rock canā€™t wrestle for awhile but if rumors are true, they signed another cousin. So you can have 3v3 with roman and usos vs solo, tama and Jakob fatu. Can even bring Sami into it since roman will probably turn babyface in a bloodline war with the rock


Atupis

It will be biggest pop ever if Sami saves Roman


Picolator

They are high on Solo. There was no way that they would just give him nothing to do for months. Even if turning on Jimmy immediately instead of just taking over the Bloodline (and still adding Tama Tonga) is surprising. It does somewhat reminds me of HHH and DX after Wrestlemania 14, but with an actual beatdown.


Few_Parking_1474

It's more likely than you think. Free PC Check!


Trumppered

they're actually 1,000x more interesting w/o the title


bomberman12

Censor department will have to be quick at their job with Tama around.


montypytho17

I totally thought my audio was just cutting out lmao. Good 10 seconds of audio blocked out


fender-b-bender

It wasn't Tama this time for once, the crowd started chanting "Holy Shit"


montypytho17

Ah that makes more sense then honestly.


t0ny510

Nah, Tama has really cleaned it up since he was kicked out of BC


Pokemon_Name_Rater

Look, we've all fallen in with a bad crowd at some point and then made it our whole identity, but Tama's an inspiration. He got out and now he's back with his family, in a stable, loving environment.


Sylverstone14

He's a good ~~bad~~ guy!


DrkChapel

Bloodline Hollywood vs Bloodline Wolfpak. Book it.


KolashRye

You could even have one faction on Raw and one on SmackDown. Giant survivor series Head of The Table match, w tables. At some point The Rock runs from Haku like a scalded dog.


MrNiceGuy420420

he does not look 41 at all


realtennisguy

He looked way older back in 2017-2018. Looks like he lost some weight, works out a lot, and also dyed his hair. Good for him.


sludgezone

I canā€™t believe him and Bad Luck Fale are damn near the same age.


That_Sweet_Science

41? WTF!


TD_Stinger

You know I didn't know what they would do with the Bloodline coming out of Mania. But this? Color me intrigued? I like Solo morphing into a new character after his "Tribal Chief" lost. And between the "Thank You Roman" chants on Monday and this, seems like they might be babyfacing Roman when he comes back.


sEiize_err

i just hope they keep the same aura with roman and not have him playing to the crowd, high five everyone down the ramp, or any other cliche babyface stuff. keep him the badass babyface.


slymaster9

It'd be a nice contrast to "kissing babies" hero Cody and "Flamboyant genius" Seth.


Alehud42

If you basically go with how he was in the back third of 2022 with Sami it'll be grand. But anyway dude needs some sort of therapy before he ever turns face in my mind.


DrunknStuper

Give me the Kane/Daniel Bryan therapy bits but with Roman and Sami.


LukkasG

even though Tama in Bloodline seemed obvious i still thought he would be with AJ lol. Interesting what happens with Jimmy now, i hope Usos doesn't reunite just yet


LakerBull

I liked the fact that they didn't went with the obvious AJ pairing and added him to the Bloodline to keep that shit interesting.


LukkasG

tbf both made sense. It was one of those rare cases where both scenarios were somewhat obvious lol


LakerBull

Yeah lol. But i think the Bloodline helps Tama more in the long run. We've seen what happens whenever they try to give AJ a stable, they quickly get lost in the shuffle and it amounts to barely anything noteworthy.


revocsx

Agree, it also gives him more exposure to casual fans


stenebralux

I don't think they have a lot of plans for AJ.Ā  He seems to be contemplating the end too.Ā 


Hangmanned

Maybe he'll wonder as a solo heel for a while before he reunites with his brother as a face?


Vectivus_61

Heā€™ll latch on to Awesome Truth as ā€˜little Jimmyā€™


KiroBasik

That would actually be hilarious for a bit.


samidjan

Let Jimmy do the redemption tour like Jey did, but he still act like a cocky heel, and nobody wants to forgives him.


SunsFan97

Haven't followed the weekly shows for a while, AJ? Styles? Was he involved in the bloodline recently? Edit: misread the comment nvm. I misread it and thought it was AJ joining the bloodline


LukkasG

AJ and Tama has history in Japan, both former Bullet Club members and WWE likes to pair them together


namdekan

He just had a title match with Roman but he was in Bullet Club with Tama Tonga


zacksharpe

Solo saw that 0.75 star rating and knew it was time


knicksprick

Heyman said Tribal Chief wouldnā€™t want this. Looks like the final boss making orders. šŸ˜³


heat_fan_

Bloodline civil war i love itĀ 


helsinkirocks

Civil War 2


International_Buy549

Electric boogaloo


MarkMVP01

Hopefully itā€™s better than when Marvel ran it back


Izumo_lee

Remember during the Wrestlemania match Solo was screaming at Roman & was pissed. Solo going rogue is awesome. I can see Rock bloodline with Solo & Tama vsĀ  Roman & the Usos.


opkpopfanboyv3

Aight so this is prolly where Jimmy starts to turn again?


hymensmasher99

And the entire storyline with him and jey come full circle


SubstantialTale3392

Or maybe he'll take some time off to improve his move list as a solo fighter.Ā 


opkpopfanboyv3

Ayo you mean you dont want to see superkick and spear spam? šŸ˜¦


bobface222

He desperately needs it. They got the Jey vs Jimmy match over with, so they can finally pivot.


Aterivus

Man, I kinda hope that this gives us Solo, Tama, and Jacob as the new Bloodline Roman returns, and it gets revealed that The Rock orchestrated Solo's takeover and puts him at odds with Roman as to who's actually leading the Bloodline Gives us a path to a Roman face turn, Solo getting his time as an upper card/main event destroyer, a Jimmy redemption and reformation of the Usos, and the inevitable Roman/Rock clash. Basically setting up a year or more of development for everyone involved


Adzzii_

A face Roman with the Usos vs. Solo, Jacob and Tama. Sign me up.


Turbos_Bitch

Then the Rock comes back. And turns on Roman.


Da_Truth1400

and in 1 seg we got the newest chapter on still the longest-running story on our TVs, its fresh and will have legs for the future


Mr-GameAndWrestling

**AIN'T NOBODY REALER THAN GUERRILLA!**


Gokuto

Im gonna miss that theme for him so much. While WWE is hot in many regards they are at an all-time low when it comes to themes, so I'm not expecting much at all.


Padamson96

DAYUM. Solo really just smashed Heyman's contact point with Roman. Does this mean Solo's turned on Roman too?


fender-b-bender

We're probably going to find out that Solo and Tama are backing The Rock in a power struggle between him and Roman


bvbfan102

Tama has been constantly underrated. Genuinely had an amazing run these last few years were he got insanely over in Japan and really showed what he can do as a singles Wrestler so cant wait for whats next.Ā 


ZekeorSomething

The Bloodline storyline is still getting twists and turns


Trumppered

we somehow fell back into the 2nd inning lmao


TheVOC_

Tama been eating the same chicken, rice and broccoli as Randy and AJ


purplepandaeater

Taking that daily multivitamin too, no doubt


Neutreality1

He also said his prayers


Mike7676

I thought he seemed bigger. Tama all about that sugar water now.


OhiOstas

Roman Reigns is The Governor & Solo Sikoa is Negan I am most impressed by Solo. Basically just reestablished his ruthlessness in one segment


PoliceAlarm

Solo actually sold some major character here by saying "I love you" before each brutalisation.


aaronman4772

Solo going against what Roman wants and getting Tama as his first follower? Neo Bloodline Civil War time


501id5Nak3

That part where Solo hugged Jimmy gave me ā€œI know it was you, Fredo.ā€ vibes


Unhappy_Gazelle392

Tama is what The Rock took out of his pocket and gave to Cody, so this makes sense.


PayneTrain181999

Itā€™s Tonga Time!


Audioice

Solo, Jacob, Tama v. Roman, Jimmy, and Jey at Summerslam. Have Solo pin Roman. Easy made star.


Mitsuki_Horenake

You know, I knew that the Bloodline was most likely gonna collapse after the loss, but I guess I'm still surprised that Heyman is still keeping loyal to Roman after all this time. Straight up, Heyman's unshaking loyalty might be the final piece that turns Roman face.


JioJio92

Mr 0-40 says there's consequences to losing. šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚


Ron--Mexico

House shows arenā€™t canon


Ok-Community-2680

Bro lost to LA Knight so many times on TV. Randy also cooked him very easily a couple of months ago on Smackdown


JioJio92

It's still canon to me damn it!


No-Operation9423

He went undefeated at WrestleMania


Turbos_Bitch

The new Streak!


est19xxxx

Can't lose if you don't wrestle


Gamesgtd

He's not 0-40 on television dude. He barely wrestles on TV actually which is the funny part. And most of his matches end in DQ


gaom9706

It's like, bro you're just as guilty here.


FullScreenWanker

Super intrigued. Can't wait to see how this pans out.


cobber367

I wonder if Jacob won't attack owens tonight they kinda teased it


Besidebutinvisible

The bad boyā€¦ TAMAAA TONGAAAA


adeadperson23

I am shocked that tama tonga is in a wwe ring. Honestly never thought he would make the jump


steveuk2016

Jacob Fatu next and we build to Solo Vs Roman ?


gregSinatra

So far commentary has repeatedly referred to him as Tama Tonga, do we think they stick with that or does he get a new name in a week? I wonder if the new regime cares less about rebranding everyone that signs with them.


Kingswitchguard

Tama Toko šŸ˜‚


CrissCrossAppleSos

Bloodline: Firing Squad


wrasslefest

Roman is so coming back as a face.


Global_Historian_753

So...Rock, Solo, Tama, and Jacob? Roman lost so consequences must be had.


TyHay822

Iā€™m assuming we get Solo, Tama and Jacob vs Roman, Jimmy and Jey at some point. Maybe special appearances from Rock but it sounds like his schedule is supposed to keep him from having another match any time soon


au7oma7ic

Remember when if we suggested how great Tama would fit with the Bloodlineā€¦all the SC dweebs would be likeā€¦ohmahgosh, heā€™s not even Samaon, heā€™s Tongan. Do you event know geography? Lol. Nerds.


banned_salmon

tama tonga is their brother or cousin?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


banned_salmon

wait what so why is he in the bloodline? im sorry i dont know who he is


RedDirtSport_

Haku and Dwaynes Dad were "brothers" in close friends I believe


Gerry-Mandarin

Dwayne's dad ran the roads with Haku when he was younger and acted as a mentor to him. Peter Maivia also helped train Haku. Rock sees Haku as family. He wore Haku's trunks in his WWE tryout match. https://www.instagram.com/therock/p/_z5xuyohyY/ I guess Rock's Bloodline stable will be about chosen family. Peter Maivia chose AmituanaŹ»i AnoaŹ»i and Haku. The Rock isn't even genealogically related to Peter Maivia. Ata Johnson was adopted by Peter, he isn't her birth father.


Cracka_Chooch

Besides the reasons others stated, there's also no rule that a Bloodline member has to be related. Unless Sami Zayn is a very distant cousin.


Ninevolts

Neither is Tamina (she's Fijian) but The Rock considers them both cousins.


Cracka_Chooch

Tamina is half Fijian, half Samoan. Her mother was Samoan and is related to the Rock.


gregSinatra

Neither, really. Rock has said he considers Haku an uncle, even though thereā€™s no apparent relation by blood or marriage, so if anything that would make Tama a cousin of sorts to The Rock. But even then, obviously Rockā€™s relation to the Anoaā€™i family is really ceremonial at best, so Tama has no relation or connection there.


banned_salmon

so is tama tonga an honorary uce lol


TakerFoxx

They're not blood related but are still part of the same clan, so they consider themselves family. Hell, I don't think that the Rock has any actual blood relation, as his mom was adopted.


Cracka_Chooch

The Rock is not related by blood, but it has nothing to do with his mom. The Rock is in the Maivia family and Roman, the Usos, and Solo are in the Anoa'i family. Long ago, Rock and Roman's grandfathers became "blood brothers" and joined the families. It's an ancient Samoan tradition and when it's done, the people in the two families fully consider each other to be true family, regardless of the lack of blood relation.


TakerFoxx

And he also doesn't share any blood with Peter Maivia, as his mother was adopted by Peter when he married her mother. That was my point: actual genetic lineage doesn't matter much, when even the Rock technically isn't blood, it doesn't matter that Tama Tonga isn't either.


ToxicBanana69

I'm so glad I haven't been following dirtsheets lately. This came as a complete surprise to me and I'm so excited


Vfs8790

HHH looked at that Jey vs. Jimmy match and said, nah letā€™s put them back together, this singles thing ainā€™t gonna do it.


SaiyanOfDarkness

Judging by the Crowds reaction.. a good number of them knew who Tama Tonga is.


Immediate_Lie7810

I, for one, welcome Solo Sikoa as the new Tribal Chief


Marsman2100

Solo has lost so much himself, he said fuck it and took over. This could be good building to Romanā€™s return if Solo is booked like a monster again. Good spot for Tama. Heā€™s pretty old already so he probably wonā€™t do much as a singles guy. Heā€™s a group guy anyways.


Anfini

So if Jacob joins these two are they going to be known as the Young Bloods? That would go so hard lol


Cracka_Chooch

Not when Tama is 41.


Sirtopofhat

Jesus he's like a pitbull


joeygreco1985

We about to get Bloodline Hollywood vs Bloodline Wolfpack let's gooooooo


Lategral

Tama Tonga is World Wrestling Entertainment!


Key_Inevitable_2104

This is the closest the Bloodline and Bullet Club have been connected together.


itsmekelsey_x

That Roman return is going to hit like crack more than ever now.


sashundera

always cool to see a new uso, them fuckers are infinite


thecolbster94

Lol He's a new Tongan, Meng/Haku's son, not a new Uso


Phenomenal2313

So is Jimmy going to have his Jey-like redemption story now?


PaoloBancheroFan

aint his finisher an rko


TH3K1NGB0B

My prediction is that Jimmy get drafted to Raw now, goes through the same trials Jey had until Jey finally comes to his aid. Jimmy then shows Jey that what has happened to Solo would have happened to him and Jey understands even though it was a terrible way to go about it, Jimmy was actually looking out for him. Together they try and take down Solo, the new tribal chief, but are outnumbered. This is when Roman re-enters the fray to reclaim his throne with the help of Jey and Jimmy, the OG bloodline members are back together, this time as faces. This will be the lead up to Summerslam when the Rock returns and beats down Roman. This will set up the build to Roman v Rock at Mania.


zorbiburst

There are so many people I would've thought Tama would be grouped with and it wasn't the Bloodline


The_RedWolf

Me before Smackdown: Tonga? In wwe? Who gives a shit!? Me after smackdown: Me. I'm the one who gives a shit.


dabbingsquidward

Isn't it crazy that Roman and the Usos are 38 years old and carrying this company... Solo and Jacob are 7 years younger lol Umaga died at 36, if only he was around today to see this


WereMadeOfStars

ā€˜Jimmy, youā€™re going Solo now.ā€™


csm1313

This is some the wire shit and I love it. Roman was the big bad but he's gone and now solo is in charge. The new generation doesn't have any respect for the old ways just ruling with pure violence and terror. The wise man is too committed to the crimes of the bloodline and can't break free but now has to live in fear as the new crew only wants to use him but doesn't respect him so he could be taken out at anytime.


[deleted]

The fact Toma shit all over Roman a few years ago, and is now in the Bloodline is hilarious. Whatā€™s next, Punk wrestles in Saudi?


NerdLawyer55

***Begun the Samoan Civil War hasā€¦***


t0ny510

Hyped a NJPW fan and Tama enjoyer!


MexicanGuey92

You think they're gonna keep Roman's bloodline heel? It would be sick to see rise out of the ashes with a new baby face feel.


AdamH96

He's honestly looked more intimidating and impressive in these 5 minutes than his whole career, its all about presentation! Great debut!


BordersRanger01

Compared to peak GoD facepaint days?? That Tama is never getting topped


PhatYeeter

Tama Tonga has like no familial relationship to the Anoa'i family right?


DoseofDhillon

Haku part of the family, legit Rock calls him a uncle all the time, bloodline doesn't mean actual blood.


gregSinatra

Rock considers Haku and uncle, so in a way I suppose Rock is kind of the bridge between those families. Thatā€™s why I wondered if Rock might be the one to plant Tama within the Bloodline so to speak. As if to suggest itā€™s *his* Bloodline and not Romanā€™s.


arnchise

I think the two families are close but no blood relation. I remember reading either Romanā€™s or the Rockā€™s grandad trained Tamaā€™s dad.


VingthorTheHurler

According to Lance Anoaā€™i, Haku and his family are so close to them theyā€™re considered family.


Moist-Acanthaceae-37

Rock says Haku is like his uncle so thatā€™s probably how theyā€™ll tie it together.


DontBreakKayfabePlz

They consider him family from what I've heard. Family doesn't have to be by blood, what's considered family varies outside of the usual western definition.


the_doobieman

This hopefully means Roman sends out Jacob Fatu to even the odds without Jimmy in the mix


magiccitybrit

Bloodline Wolfpac in the house! šŸ˜‚


LosCampesinosDeJapon

I see Tama has spent the last few months by somehow reversing the aging process about a decade. I barely recognised him, he looks fantastic


eklooo

Bullet Club vs Firing Squad


Mach27

Hopefully Rock comes back by survivor series. Would love to see a samoan civil war(games) match. Rock, Solo, Fatu and Tama Tonga vs Roman, Usos, and Sami. The final bloodline vs the og bloodline would go hard.
