Last week's show-closing cliffhanger on WWE SmackDown sent shockwaves across the WWE Universe. Paul Heyman was booted out of The Bloodline after four years of loyalty. The man responsible for this was Solo Sikoa, the new self-appointed Tribal Chief.
Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Newsletter that CM Punk and Paul Heyman's angle on the June 21 episode of SmackDown may have been the creative team planting the seeds for a future storyline.
Before getting viciously attacked by Solo Sikoa's Bloodline, Heyman had informed him that Reigns knew CM Punk was off limits owing to the latter's friendship with The Wiseman.
Meltzer pointed to how The Straight Edge Superstar, being a former "Paul Heyman Guy," could join forces with Roman Reigns as it appears all three of them are now babyfaces in the eyes of fans.
This led to many fans let their imaginations run wild on social media, with Brock Lesnar's name thrown into the mix, too. The addition of the ex-UFC mauler who was last seen at last year's SummerSlam would make Heyman's army perhaps the most dominant of all time.
Triple H recently hinted at a Roman Reigns return in the not-too-distant future, stating that the major ongoing storylines will "blow up" at SummerSlam.
Solo Sikoa will lead the new Bloodline in a high-profile match at WWE Money in the Bank
Money in the Bank will mark the first premium live event in which Cody Rhodes will not be defending the Undisputed WWE Championship since WrestleMania XL in April, where he won the belt from Roman Reigns.
Since then, Rhodes defended the belt against AJ Styles and United States Champion Logan Paul. After putting an end to his feud with Styles in an "I Quit" Match, The American Nightmare was targeted by Sikoa and clan.
This prompted The Bloodline's longtime rivals Randy Orton and Kevin Owens to join the battle of good versus evil. However, WWE seems to have hinted at a potential betrayal in this forged partnership.
It will be interesting to find out which direction Triple H and the rest of creative is heading toward with Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and The Bloodline as Money in the Bank is the final stop before The Biggest Party of the Summer.
