In an electrifying clash of kin and kingship, the prolific tag team and real-life twin brothers, The Usos, composed of Jimmy and Jey Uso, continued to stand defiant on the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, held at the O2 Arena in London.
Before a capacity crowd ahead of the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event, the brothers boldly confronted their uncle/cousin, Roman Reigns. But, it wasn’t this boldness that took everyone’s surprise in the night. Rather, it was the jaw-dropping revelation when they endorsed their younger brother, Solo Sikoa, as a potential successor to Reigns’ coveted title.
Apparently, The Usos believe that Solo Sikoa, not Roman Reigns, should be the Tribal Chief and lead The Bloodline.

The tension and drama reached a fever pitch as Reigns offered The Usos another chance to return to his good graces. The conditions? A simple bow, an acknowledgment of Reigns as their Tribal Chief, and an apology. But, The Usos, known for their fiery independence and fierce loyalty to each other, had other plans. They publicly rejected the offer, stirring the pot further by suggesting Sikoa could take over Reigns’ position.
Reigns, self-proclaimed as “The Only One” and “The Head of the Table”, was visibly riled by the proposal. He retaliated with a verbal lashing, only to be caught off guard with a superkick from Jimmy Uso. The subsequent turmoil saw Reigns taking out multiple officials and security guards. Yet, the night ended with Jey Uso stunning the audience by taking down both Sikoa and Reigns.
WWE has aptly dubbed the intensifying family feud as “The Bloodline Civil War”, which is now set to be the centerpiece of the much-anticipated “Money in the Bank” event this weekend.
Despite being up against Reigns and Sikoa, The Usos remain confident about the impending confrontation, welcoming the duo of Sikoa and Reigns to the Uso Penitentiary. As they revealed during their training session in a released video, the twins believe they share a unique telepathy that will give them an edge in the ring.
Furthermore, they expect their brother Solo to “get smart” and distance himself from Reigns, accusing the Tribal Chief of mistreating them to maintain his position at the top. This sentiment resonates with the audience, as there have been talks for months about WWE prepping Sikoa for a showdown with Reigns.
Despite the fiery rhetoric and posturing, there remains an air of uncertainty about which side Sikoa will choose. The much-anticipated decision could well be the turning point in the showdown, possibly signaling a seismic shift in the WWE landscape.
As The Usos stand strong and united, the question remains – will Solo Sikoa join them against Reigns? If he does, it would tilt the scales of the “Bloodline Civil War” in a significant way, and possibly signal the end of Reigns’ reign as the Tribal Chief. The WWE Universe is eager to see this unfold, especially considering the enthusiasm demonstrated by London fans for Sikoa.
The Bloodline Civil War promises to be a spectacle filled with drama, surprises, and, possibly, a new Tribal Chief.
As tensions reach boiling point, one thing is for sure – the O2 Arena is set for an epic showdown, and WWE fans won’t want to miss a moment of it.
