The WWE Money in the Bank Premium Live Event will begin in a few hours in Toronto, Ontario. While the ladder matches to win the briefcases are the primary highlight of the event, Cody Rhodes and co.'s match against The Bloodline also has fans’ eyes on it. Notably, a change in the match card has been announced following the July 5, 2024, episode of WWE SmackDown.

The new Bloodline led by Solo Sikoa will be squaring off against the team of Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens at MITB. So far, the match card said that the heel faction could choose any three members from its pool of four fighters. However, The Bloodline has decided upon the three wrestlers it will field in the Six-Man Tag Team match.

Tonga Loa will be sitting out this match, giving a chance to the faction’s newest member, Jacob Fatu. This will mark the official in-ring WWE debut for the Samoan fighter who singlehandedly dismantled Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Kevin Owens at Madison Square Garden in his first appearance in the Stamford-based promotion.

Interestingly, while this is a new change in the fighting squad of The Bloodline, the faction also saw a gigantic change at the end of today’s SmackDown.

Solo Sikoa makes massive Bloodline decision ahead of WWE Money in the Bank

The July 5, 2024, episode of Friday Night SmackDown ended with a special segment showcasing Solo Sikoa delivering a message to the WWE Universe. Just a week after declaring himself The Tribal Chief, Sikoa has now announced his hostility towards Roman Reigns. While he had already crossed the line by attacking The Bloodline's Wiseman, Paul Heyman, he has now called Reigns unworthy of the Ula Fala.

Not just that, Solo Sikoa also labeled Roman Reigns as “not man enough” for losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania XL. Now, the new Bloodline’s leader has set his eyes on the title and announced that he will take it back from Cody Rhodes. It would be interesting to see the ramifications of these irreversible actions of Sikoa.
