Former WWE Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis have a long history of clashing. Recently, Aldis made a major announcement regarding The Original Tribal Chief.

At WWE Bad Blood 2024, Reigns teamed up with rival Cody Rhodes to take on The Bloodline. They faced off against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a tag team match. Given the history between Reigns and Rhodes, many fans questioned Rhodes' decision to get involved in the drama surrounding The Bloodline.
In Reigns' absence, Solo Sikoa has seized control of the faction and declared himself the Tribal Chief. This prompted Reigns to confront him and reclaim his status as Tribal Chief of The Bloodline, with help from WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes. As expected, the tag team match was disrupted by other faction members.
In the final moments, Jimmy Uso returned after Solo Sikoa attacked him in April of this year and confronted the faction members. His arrival distracted Sikoa long enough for Reigns to deliver a spear and secure the victory.
