Solo Sikoa announced a new name for his faction on WWE SmackDown, calling it “MFT,” which stands for My Family Tree. This change comes amid ongoing tension following Roman Reigns’ loss at WrestleMania 40 and shifting alliances within WWE’s backstage factions.
After Roman Reigns lost his Undisputed Title, Solo Sikoa stepped up as the leader of a formidable group on SmackDown. The new WWE United States Champion initially named his faction the New Bloodline, but recent betrayals—such as former ally Jacob Fatu turning against Sikoa—have led to a rebranding and a tougher image. Despite being attacked in a parking lot before a recent show, Sikoa’s faction remained strong, adding members like JC Mateo and Tala Tonga, who strengthen the group’s presence and threat level.
The Emergence of “MFT” as Solo Sikoa’s Family Faction
During the latest WWE SmackDown episode, Solo Sikoa formally introduced the name MFT for his faction, signaling a distinct break from the traditional Bloodline identity. He warned Jacob Fatu to keep his distance, highlighting the new group’s intensified danger and unity.
The chosen name, My Family Tree, emphasizes the tight-knit and growing nature of Sikoa’s crew. This version of a family-based faction includes well-known figures such as Tala Tonga, JC Mateo, Tonga Loa, and Tama Tonga, the latter currently sidelined with injury but still considered part of the stable.
“Welcome the newest member of the family: Tala Tonga. This group is nothing like the Bloodline. This group is way more dangerous. These are my MFTs my family tree. The family is complete.” —Solo Sikoa
Context Behind the Formation and Future of MFT
The decision to rename and reinforce his faction comes after Solo Sikoa’s Tribal Chief status diminished, combined with high-profile betrayals and losses. The addition of Tala Tonga and others signals a commitment to creating a new kind of power dynamic within WWE SmackDown, one that seeks to outmatch the legacy left by Roman Reigns and his original Bloodline.
Sikoa’s MFT faction portrays a more aggressive stance, aiming to dominate the show through strength in numbers and family loyalty. This rebranding may intensify rivalries and set the stage for fresh conflicts in upcoming WWE events, keeping fans on edge as this faction carves out its own dangerous identity in the wrestling world.
