The next iteration of The Bloodline’s story seeped into the throes of “Friday Night SmackDown” in Providence, Rhode Island, as Jacob Fatu appeared in the locker room as Jey Uso was getting prepared for his King of the Ring Tournament match with his brother, Jimmy.There seemed to be a number of moving parts. Fatu said he was at SmackDown to speak to Solo Sikoa – who broke away from Roman Reigns and formed the MFT. Meanwhile, Jey Uso also received a pep talk from Cody Rhodes.”When I do it, I’m coming after that WWE championship at SummerSlam,” Uso told Rhodes before the match. “Just business, Uce. Just business.”ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!Rhodes said he hoped Uso does come after the Undisputed WWE Championship. He added that he hoped it was his decision and not because Roman Reigns told him to.Palace intrigue was at an all-time high.Fatu found Sikoa in the locker room. He said he had a message from Reigns and that the “Original Tribal Chief” wanted Sikoa to “come home.” Sikoa, one former prominent Bloodline member, laughed.”Home? He wants me to come home? That’s what your ‘Tribal Chief’ said? That ain’t home, Jacob,” Sikoa said. “That’s a doghouse, and you’re his lap dog. You know what? I don’t understand this. What the hell happened to you? You used to be a killer. A man that everyone was afraid of. The ‘Samoan Werewolf.’ A man who was this close to beating Roman. And now? You’re just his background. And you know I’m right because I am still standing here and you’ve done nothing but come here and deliver a message from who? Your ‘Tribal Chief?’”Listen to me, Roman has done nothing but embarrass you, humiliated you and make you kneel down like a dog in front of the whole world and in front of our family, Jacob. And that right there is not how you treat somebody that you love. But he wants me to come back? I’m not going back there. So, tell Roman, he can go to hell.”Fatu said he understood where Sikoa was coming from but he already made his decision and if Reigns wants him to go get him, then he was coming for Sikoa.Sikoa said if Reigns wanted him back home, “then he can come and get me.”The tentacles of The Bloodline didn’t end there. While Jey Uso got ready for the match, Sikoa was in Royce Keys’ ear. Uso, Keys, LA Knight and Finn Balor met in the King of the Ring Tournament. Sikoa said he didn’t want Keys to be a “casualty” in Reigns’ war.Knight took a victory lap, showing that he was right about The Bloodline and its little proxies getting involved in the King of the Ring match. Little did he know, just how involved they would get. As Knight and Keys went to the outside of the ring, Jimmy Uso and Sikoa appeared.Balor was in control toward the end of the match, nailing his finisher on Jimmy Uso. Keys got distracted by Sikoa and Knight took control. It looked like Knight was going to get the win.Keys got hit with a big boot, causing referee Charles Robinso
