Bloodline members Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga shocked Roman Reigns, Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso on Saturday at WWE Crown Jewel, defeating them in a six-man tag team match.

Competing in their first match as a unit in a few years, Reigns and The Usos weren’t on the same page at times, and The Bloodline took advantage, cleanly pinning Sikoa The OTC after multiple Samoan Spikes.

After the match, The Bloodline launched an attack on Reigns and The Usos, but Sami Zayn made a surprise appearance and came to the aid of his former original Bloodline stablemates in Reigns, Jimmy and Jey.

However, Reigns and Zayn had a miscommunication, accidentally eliminating each other when they attempted to attack Solo.

The Bloodline was once one of the most dominant factions in WWE history, with Reigns leading The Usos and Sikoa, but the group’s dynamic changed significantly in the lead-up to and coming out of WrestleMania 40.

Both Jey and Jimmy left The Bloodline last year, but Jimmy turned his back on his twin brother by helping Reigns defeat him at SummerSlam. That led to Jimmy and Jey facing off at WrestleMania, while Reigns dropped the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes, ending his title streak of over 1,300 days.

With Reigns out of the picture after The Show of Shows, Sikoa took control of The Bloodline by kicking out Jimmy and Paul Heyman and bringing in Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Fatu.

Reigns eventually returned at SummerSlam in August, but instead of helping Sikoa defeat Rhodes for the WWE Championship, he attacked him as revenge for his hostile takeover of The Bloodline.

Roman called himself the Original Tribal Chief or ‘OTC’ and tried to take back The Bloodline, but with no one to help him, he didn’t stand a chance.

Reigns eventually formed an unlikely and reluctant partnership with Rhodes, leading to a tag team match against Sikoa and Fatu. Reigns and Rhodes won largely thanks to the returning Jimmy Uso helping them and reuniting with Reigns.

Still, Reigns and Jimmy knew they needed more firepower to fight The Bloodline, so they turned to Jey, but he initially had no interest in reconciling with The OTC.

Things changed when The Bloodline cost him the Intercontinental Championship against Bron Breakker, when Jey got his revenge by costing the group the WWE Tag Team Championships against the Motor City Machine Guns.

Jey made up with Jimmy, and despite still being wary of Reigns and the way he treated him before, he agreed to reform the original Bloodline to fight the new version of the stable in Crown Jewel.

Reigns, Jimmy and Jey were unsuccessful in the six-man title fight, but the future of The Bloodline remains very much in doubt due to the two warring factions.
