On Friday’s episode of WWE SmackDown, during the Bloodline segment, Roman Reigns named Solo Sikoa the “Tribal Heir,” upsetting Jimmy Uso because Solo is the heir apparent to the Tribal Chief in case anything happens to him.
The aftermath
This led to an angle with Randy Orton, who later Orton attempted an RKO, but Roman escaped.
Later on, there was a backstage segment on SmackDown with The Bloodline. Reigns was telling Uso and Sikoa about how Orton needs to be handled. Reigns said that if Uso can’t handle Orton on his own, then imagine what could happen. Uso said, “Yeet,” which is the catchphrase of Jey Uso and Jimmy back tracked with Reigns looking disgusted.
