Real-life Bloodline member shares cryptic message ahead of WWE SmackDown

A real-life member of The Bloodline shared a cryptic message ahead of tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown. The faction attacked Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens following their victory over Grayson Waller and Austin Theory last week on the blue band.

Rikishi is the father of The Usos and Solo Sikoa in real life and took to his Instagram to send an interesting message ahead of tonight's show. The Hall of Famer noted that nobody wants to book someone who has burned bridges in the industry.

"When you burn bridges in this industry, understand no promoter wants you. Now you stay home and watch others booked!" he wrote.

Solo Sikoa will be facing Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam on August 3. Sikoa has named himself the new Tribal Chief during Roman Reigns' hiatus. The Head of the Table still has not returned to television since his loss at WrestleMania XL.

Former WWE manager praises The Bloodline

Dutch Mantell recently commented on The Bloodline's storyline on WWE SmackDown and claimed Jacob Fatu makes a huge difference in the faction's presentation.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk podcast, Mantell praised Jacob Fatu's addition to The Bloodline. He noted that the company is doing a great job with the build to the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam as well.

"They are making Jacob Fatu the killer that they need because he can stand up to anybody, and I think, if you put those together without somebody, Jospesh Fatu, they are just another team. But now, when you throw him in there, he makes all the difference in the world because he is the leverage they need and the killer they need. So, I think they did a good job with this, and they are working their way to Cleveland. I think they are going to have a hell of a match there." [From 16:00 onwards]

Solo Sikoa has kicked Jimmy Uso out of the The Bloodline and ordered the group to attack Paul Heyman last month after Heyman refused to acknowledge him as his Tribal Chief. It will be fascinating to see if the 31-year-old can dethrone Cody Rhodes next month at SummerSlam in Cleveland, Ohio.
