The Bloodline vs. Three Unlikely Allies: Who Comes Out on Top at SummerSlam 2026?

This past Monday Night Raw saw Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu get tricked by their family member, Solo Sikoa, into thinking he was going to return to the family. The former enforcer of WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns instead gave his brother Jimmy a Samoan Spike and then attacked his cousin, Fatu, before the numbers caught up with him. Royce Keys, who had a match previously with ‘Big Jim’, came to his senses and began attacking his former “brother” in ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ before getting leveled out by an Uso Superkick. Reigns’s new right-hand man would apply the Tongan Deathgrip onto ‘The OTC’s former enforcer before LA Knight came out with a chair to make the save.

Knight would clean house and demand that Fatu, Jimmy, and Jey Uso meet Sikoa, Keys, and himself at SummerSlam for a Six-Man Tag Team Match. The bout would be confirmed later in the night. This comes after ‘The Megastar’ repeatedly declined the former MFT leader’s offers to help him bring down ‘The Bloodline’ over the past month. Both former United States Champions and the 2026 Andre the Giant Battle Royal Winner have their own scores to settle with the family.

Knight has been screwed multiple times by members of the Bloodline, the former enforcer included, during his feud with Reigns a couple of years ago. Jimmy interfered in their initial match, which helped Reigns retain his Undisputed WWE Championship at Crown Jewel 2023. Sikoa felt used and abused after ‘The OTC’ returned at the 2024 edition of SummerSlam. The then-returning Reigns delivered a Superman Punch and Spear to his former enforcer to help Cody Rhodes retain the Undisputed WWE Championship. Their feud that year would lead to the birth of ‘The OTC’ gimmick, as Sikoa crowned himself the real ‘Tribal Chief’ despite not claiming that title through Tribal Combat and wore the Ula Fala as if it were his. Reigns’s absence also allowed the former United States Champion to build his own faction in the MFTs with JC Mateo, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Talla Tonga doing his dirty work. A Tribal Combat Match would be the climax of that feud. It would main event the debut episode of Monday Night Raw on Netflix in the first week of 2025, where ‘The OTC’ would claim his rightful title of ‘Tribal Chief’ and reclaim his Ula Fala. While Keys debuted in this year’s Royal Rumble, he hasn’t done too much in WWE yet. The former AEW TNT Champion had a match to become the top contender for the Undisputed WWE Championship against Gunther, but he failed to win. The 2026 Andre the Giant Battle Royal Winner has been trying to find his people on Friday Night SmackDown; he caught up with his “brother” in ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ and won over R-Truth’s trust, but the rest of the locker room has seemed to distance themselves from the powerhouse so far. It took an ugly turn when the former AEW TNT Champion’s “brother” superkicked him in the mouth on last week’s episode of SmackDown and proceeded to beat Keys up, who would get one back on Fatu this past Monday.

This initial feud seems like the foundation for the new Bloodline to attempt another takeover of WWE. It makes the new Bloodline credible when beating up a top star like Knight and two stars-in-the-making like Sikoa and Keys. The way WWE has handled The Bloodline’s storylines in the past has been long and methodical. It makes absolutely no sense for the new Bloodline to lose their first match since reuniting. It also doesn’t make sense for ‘The Megastar’ or Keys to lose or look weak, either. The former enforcer has leeway to be the weak link of the unlikely team, and storyline-wise, it gives WWE creative a lot of directions to go should Sikoa get pinned. Knight could easily turn on him. Reigns could fight internal demons on whether or not he should bring back his former enforcer to the new Bloodline. With Talla and Tama leaving Sikoa behind a couple of weeks ago, it makes all the sense in the world for the youngest Uso brother to take the pin. In a distraught state of mind with no concrete backup plan or family to rely on, Sikoa should go on a redemption arc or a rebirth to bring out a new side of him. It would be the cherry on top if Fatu got the pin to secure the victory since he hasn’t looked strong since losing to ‘The OTC’ in back-to-back matches at Backlash and Clash in Italy. The feud is far from over, and WWE could be setting up another Bloodline WarGames Match for 2026, or even next year’s WrestleMania.
