The latest episode of WWE SmackDown featured one of the most important segments of the entire Bloodline saga. The WWE Universe saw Solo Sikoa and the rest of the group attack Paul Heyman and take him out at the end of the night.

During the Bloodline Acknowledgement Ceremony, Solo introduced Jacob Fatu into the group as The Enforcer of The Bloodline. Solo then asked Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa to acknowledge him as The Tribal Chief, which they did before all eyes turned toward The Wiseman.

Heyman emphatically told Solo that he loved him but acknowledged that he was not his Tribal Chief. This angered Solo, who took out Heyman with a Samoan Spike before The Bloodline made a massive statement by putting him through the announce table in what was a shocking moment for the fans.

Following are four reasons why Solo Sikoa made a huge mistake by attacking Paul Heyman.


#4. The Usos may reunite

Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso have had a lot of issues between them over the past year, especially after Jimmy shockingly turned on Jey at WWE SummerSlam. Jimmy explained that he wanted to protect Jey, in the belief that becoming The Tribal Chief would have made him corrupt and power-hungry.

Given how Solo Sikoa has transformed over the past few weeks, Jey might finally understand his brother's perspective and decide to reunite with him. The Usos likely did not appreciate what happened to The Wiseman Paul Heyman on SmackDown and would be looking to retaliate against the new-look Bloodline.


#3. The importance of Paul Heyman

Paul Heyman was one of the main reasons why The Bloodline, and especially Roman Reigns, were so successful in their run over the past few years.

As Roman's Wiseman, he handled all communications between The Bloodline and WWE management. Without him, the group's structure could weaken, potentially leading to chaos down the line.


#2. Unwanted foes

Paul Heyman is one of the most influential men in WWE. Making Heyman an enemy might seriously backfire for The Bloodline, considering all the connections he has within the industry.

It is well documented that Heyman has great relationships with the likes of Brock Lesnar and CM Punk, who might want to take out The Bloodline after they brutally attacked Heyman last week.

This would cause unwanted trouble for The Bloodline, especially with top stars like Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens already keen on finishing them.


#1. Roman Reigns' premature return to WWE

Roman Reigns has been out of action since Wrestlemania 40. He was expected to make his in-ring return sometime later this year, but recent events on SmackDown strongly suggest his comeback could be imminent.

During his absence, Solo has taken charge, recruited new members into The Bloodline and declared himself The Tribal Chief. Reigns will undoubtedly be eager to reclaim his authority, especially after their recent attack on his Wiseman.
