Roman Reigns has headed to a post-WrestleMania XL hiatus from WWE SmackDown after his loss to Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship and in his absence, it appears that a new Tribal Chief's era will be ushered in.

As seen on the latest edition of SmackDown, The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Paul Heyman, and Jimmy Uso) arrived and they were not happy to see Cody Rhodes' personal locker room. Solo assured Heyman that he'll take care of it.

Heyman said this is the consequence of losing at WrestleMania and if they want their personal locker room back, they must win back the WWE Championship, and this order directly comes from "The Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns.

Paul Heyman then appeared in the ring on SmackDown and said by the orders of Roman Reigns, The Bloodline would make no excuses for the main event loss. They do not blame John Cena, The Undertaker, or Jey Uso for the outcome.

The Tribal Chief takes full responsibility for what happened in his match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. Heyman also mentioned that Roman was distracted by his revenge quest on Seth Rollins as he took his eyes off Cody.

Solo Sikoa said there are consequences of losing and changes must be made. Heyman seemed worried as Solo hugged Jimmy Uso before someone attacked Jimmy from behind and it was Haku's son, NJPW Veteran Tama Tonga, making his WWE debut.

Solo then delivered multiple Samoan Spikes to Jimmy to take him out of The Bloodline. Heyman tried to call Roman, but Solo broke his phone. Solo further wrapped a steel chair around Jimmy's neck and delivered a hip attack in the corner.

In a backstage segment, Paul Heyman came out of the trainer's room after checking on Jimmy Uso. Tama Tonga arrived at the scene and told Heyman that the attack on Jimmy was by order from The Tribal Chief.

Solo Sikoa then showed up from behind, smiled at Heyman, and left. Heyman was visibly worried about this as he had no clues about this. It looked like Solo was trying to be the new Tribal Chief.
