The Bloodline storyline, over the previous couple of years in WWE, has showcased the talent of the celebrated Anoa’i family, a lot in order that there are two Bloodline factions — the OG Bloodline, led by Roman Reigns, and the brand new Bloodline, spearheaded by Solo Sikoa.
One member of the Anoa’i family who could’ve fit perfectly into the Bloodline story is the late Umaga. His brother and WWE Hall of Famer, Rikishi, has revealed which Bloodline faction he would have been a component of. Rikishi shared that the late star would more than likely have been a part of the OG Bloodline, but he could have also began certainly one of his own.
“Hmmm, well, I’d almost think that Umaga would probably be into the OG Bloodline. That, to me, is sensible, you already know because he’s certainly one of those Usos that form of, you already know, had helped pave the best way as well, after us coming through,” Rikishi stated on his “Rikishi Fatu Off The Top” podcast. “Possibly he would have began his own Bloodline 3.0.”
The WWE legend envisioned a hypothetical faction that would have featured the late Umaga, his son Zilla Fatu, and one other member of the renowned Anoa’i family, Journey Fatu. He highlighted how the mixture of those stars would have made for an incredibly lethal and dominant faction.
The unique Bloodline was formed by Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman in 2021, with The Usos, Jey and Jimmy Uso, joining later, followed by Sami Zayn — the one non-Anoa’i member of the family within the OG Bloodline’s history. They then recruited Solo Sikoa into the faction, before The Rock acknowledged “The Original Tribal Chief” and joined them. Sikoa later assumed leadership of the group, bringing in Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu as his lackeys, before losing the best to be called “The Tribal Chief” after being defeated by Reigns.
