Unfollowed: Roman Reigns Throws The Bloodline Into Chaos

A social media storm has erupted within the world of professional wrestling, with the seemingly innocuous act of an unfollow sparking major speculation about the future of WWE’s dominant faction, The Bloodline. Roman Reigns, the group’s undisputed leader, has unfollowed his real-life cousin Solo Sikoa on Instagram, sending shockwaves through the wrestling community.

This unfollow holds significant weight due to Reigns’ continued online connection with other members of The Bloodline with whom he has had on-screen tension. Jey Uso, for example, remains on Reigns’ following list despite their recent storyline portraying a strained relationship. This selective unfollowing suggests a deliberate and potentially storyline-driven rift forming between Reigns and Sikoa.

The timing of this social media move further fuels speculation. With WWE’s SummerSlam, one of the year’s biggest events, just around the corner, fans are questioning whether this is merely an act of kayfabe (scripted elements within professional wrestling) or a genuine creative shift within The Bloodline.

Wrestling websites and online forums are buzzing with theories. Could this be the beginning of a power struggle within The Bloodline, with Sikoa challenging Reigns for leadership? Or perhaps it’s a setup for a future tag team rivalry between Reigns and a new partner against Sikoa and another member of the Anoa’i family dynasty.

Over at Cageside Seats, a popular online destination for wrestling fans, the comments section reflects the diverse reactions to this development. Some fans see it as a brilliant storyline ploy, heightening anticipation for SummerSlam. Others express concern, fearing a detrimental impact on Sikoa’s momentum if a legitimate falling out with Reigns is at play.

Whether this unfollow is a carefully crafted storyline beat or a genuine creative shift, one thing is certain: Roman Reigns has successfully ignited a frenzy of speculation and excitement amongst wrestling fans. As we approach SummerSlam, all eyes will be on The Bloodline, waiting to see if this social media move translates into a seismic shift within the faction’s power dynamic.
