Led by Roman Reigns, The Bloodline faction in WWE is a dominant force with members like Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, and The Rock. Managed by the renowned Hall of Fame Paul Heyman, Reigns holds the WWE Universal Champion title with one of the longest reigns in history. The Usos lost their WWE Tag Team titles at WrestleMania 39 after holding both Raw and SmackDown titles simultaneously, setting a record for the longest tag team title reign in WWE history.

Let's rewind few of the greatest moments of The Bloodline story so far:

5. Solo Sikoa’s Debut: In a high-stakes match at Clash of the Castle PLE in Cardiff, Wales, Roman Reigns faced Drew McIntyre. The hometown crowd anticipated McIntyre’s victory, but a surprise twist changed everything. The debuting Solo Sikoa, the younger brother of the Usos, interfered just before the referee’s three-count. Reigns retained his title, and Solo Sikoa became an integral part of the Bloodline.

4. Usos Reign Supreme: After Jimmy declared himself as the ‘Tribal Chief,’ Jey joined him by attacking Roman Reigns, breaking away from the Bloodline faction. At Money in the Bank PLE, the Usos faced Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa in a 'Bloodline Civil War' match. Against all odds, Jey pinned Roman Reigns, handing him his first loss via pinfall since December 2019.

3. Sami Zayn Breaks Away: At WWE Royal Rumble 2023, Sami Zayn betrayed Roman Reigns by attacking him with a chair, choosing to stand against the Bloodline and part ways with them. This decision came amidst tensions within the group and a conflicted situation where he had to harm his friend Kevin Owens. The crowd cheered his departure.

2. Dethroning the Tag-Team Dominance: At WrestleMania 39, the Bloodline faced a formidable challenge. During the main event of Night 1, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn took on The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. In a historic match, Sami Zayn delivered three consecutive Helluva kicks to Jey Uso, ending their record-setting tag team title reign of 622 days.

1. Emergence of ‘The Rock’: Cody Rhodes won Royal Rumble 2024 but initially chose not to challenge Roman Reigns on The Rock's advice. Later, he changed his mind, angering The Rock who wanted to face Reigns. Cody insulted Rock and Reigns' family at Wrestlemania 40 Kickoff, leading to Rock slapping him. This event was dubbed "The slap heard around the world".

In the upcoming weeks at Smackdown, The Rock and Reigns challenged Rollins and Rhodes to a tag-team match at WrestleMania XL Day 1. If Rhodes and Rollins win, Cody will face Reigns in a one-on-one match with no interference from the Bloodline and claim the title against Roman Reigns on Day 2.
