With the numbers' game not being in his favor, Roman Reigns is in desperate need of some backups on WWE SmackDown. For two consecutive weeks, he got beaten up by the new version of The Bloodline in the closing moments of the show.

Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline kicked off last night's episode of SmackDown and ordered Roman Reigns to acknowledge him by the end of the night. Rather, Jey Uso interrupted him standing in the crowd and reminded him how he was dividing the Samoan family.

Before leaving the scene, Jey also claimed that things will be different the next time he sees Solo in the ring. He also met Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso backstage to get Roman's praise for the Intercontinental Championship win.

In the main event segment of the October 18 episode of SmackDown, Roman Reigns confronted Solo Sikoa and acknowledged the latter. Shortly after, The Bloodline brought out a beaten-down Jimmy Uso on the ramp.

Solo tried to attack Roman, but Roman took him out alongside The Bloodline's Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. As Roman turned his focus on the Ula Fala, Solo hit him with a low blow and took it back.

The Bloodline then laid out The OTC. Solo hit Roman with 2 Samoan Spikes and declared himself to be The Tribal Chief. SmackDown went off the air with Solo and co standing tall over Roman's body.

In more news from SmackDown, Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley) made their debut in WWE by defeating A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory & Grayson Waller) and Los Garza (Angel & Berto) in a Number-One Contender's Tournament Match.

The former 3-time TNA World Tag Team Champions will further be seen in the tournament to continue on the October 25 SmackDown episode scheduled for the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York having the currently confirmed match card:
