Roman Reigns is at war with his cousin, Solo Sikoa, and The New Bloodline on WWE SmackDown. The Original Tribal Chief will join forces with former rival Cody Rhodes to battle the heel faction at Bad Blood. Meanwhile, a former WWE host has claimed that the unexpected alliance could end soon.
At the upcoming Premium Live Event, Reigns will team up with the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion to face Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a tag team match. However, many have questioned the unexpected alliance between The American Nightmare and The OTC and whether they would be able to work together, including Hall of Famer Mark Henry.
The World’s Strongest Man predicted the two would lose the encounter because they would not work as a team. Meanwhile, in the latest episode of The Wrestling Matt podcast, former WWE host Matt Camp addressed the newly formed alliance between Reigns and Rhodes.
In the recent episode of the Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE analyst Sam Roberts discussed potential scenarios for Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns’ tag team match against The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu) at Bad Blood.
Among those potential directions, the 41-year-old suggested the erstwhile Big Dog could surprisingly turn on Rhodes at the upcoming PLE. However, Roberts pointed out that the proposed scenario was unlikely.
The Wild Samoans made their mark in the then-WWF in the early-to-mid 1980s, wrestling legends including Bob Backlund, Pedro Morales, The Strongbows, Tony Atlas and even their cousin, Rocky Johnson (The Rock’s father).
The Wild Samoans first wrestled in the promotion in 1980 before returning from 1983-1985. They left again, but Sika Anoa’i returned as a singles wrestler in 1986 and found success, even challenging Hulk Hogan for the heavyweight championship in 1987 at Saturday Night’s Main Event XII.
After his career, Sika Anoa’i and his brother trained wrestlers at the Wild Samoan Training Center. Their incredible success as trainers certainly remains a great part of their legacy, per WWE.com.
“Afa & Sika have trained many of the Superstars WWE fans have come to know over the years, including former WWE Champion Yokozuna and former WWE Superstars Rikishi, Tonga Kid, Virgil, Michael P.S. Hayes and Billy Kidman. Afa & Sika are also credited with training Snitsky, as well as multiple-time World Champion Batista and most recently, Sika’s son Roman Reigns. All-in-all, between in-ring action, managerial services and their training, the Wild Samoans have won or produced winners of over 50 championships.”
