Solo Sikoa has introduced his new faction called MFT (My Family Tree) within WWE, signaling a significant shift that could determine the future of The Bloodline and the trajectory of several members of the Anoa’i family. This development has sparked discussions about WWE’s evolving storylines involving Samoan heritage and the possible replacement of the once-dominant Bloodline faction.
Solo Sikoa Forms MFT with Key New Members
Solo Sikoa’s new faction, MFT, includes Tala Tonga alongside JC Matteo and Tama Tonga, marking a fresh alliance within WWE. This coalition is viewed by many as a potential successor to The Bloodline, which centered around prominent figures such as Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa himself. The Bloodline storyline, deeply rooted in the legacy of the Anoa’i family, was a major focus in WWE for an extended period, weaving themes of loyalty and conflict.
Despite the mixed feedback The Bloodline generated during its prominence, WWE appears poised to move past that chapter, as evidenced by Sikoa’s current actions and character trajectory. His return to WWE spotlights an effort to redefine Samoan wrestling narratives under a new banner.
Heightened Tensions as Solo Sikoa Clashes with Jacob Fatu
Solo Sikoa is aggressively targeting former Bloodline members Jacob Fatu and Jimmy Uso, who remain active within WWE amid the faction’s dramatic changes. With Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman now aligned with Seth Rollins and inactive in this storyline, Sikoa’s confrontations have gained prominence.
The United States Champion’s faction initially received support from JC Matteo. Tala Tonga, previously known as Hikuleo in New Japan Pro Wrestling, has become a crucial ally by disrupting Fatu’s attempts to challenge MFT. Tonga’s continuous interference alongside his real-life brother Tonga Loa has positioned the faction as a formidable force in WWE’s current landscape.
The faction announcement was formally revealed in a recorded WWE on Netflix segment where Solo Sikoa declared:
“This group is nothing like the Bloodline… These are my MFTs, My Family Tree. The family is complete.”

The segment showed Sikoa addressing the audience as Tala Tonga stood alongside JC Matteo and Tama Tonga, reinforcing the faction’s unity and strength. This public unveiling was accompanied by a decisive attack on Jacob Fatu and Jimmy Uso, signaling MFT’s intent to dominate ongoing WWE storylines.
What the Creation of MFT Means for WWE and The Bloodline’s Legacy
The formation of MFT arrives at a strategic moment as WWE moves beyond the Bloodline storyline. This new faction could represent a fresh start for wrestlers sharing Samoan roots, while simultaneously suggesting the possible sidelining of Roman Reigns, who once led The Bloodline and held the prestigious Ula fala after winning the Tribal Combat match against Sikoa.
Roman Reigns’ recent absence from WWE, following his main event loss at WrestleMania 41 and betrayal by his advisor, has left The Bloodline faction effectively disbanded. In this context, the rise of MFT could either fill the void left behind or serve as a setup for a future revival of The Bloodline under new circumstances.
The introduction of MFT may thus be more than a temporary storyline; it could shape WWE’s approach to its Samoan wrestlers and family-centric alliances going forward. Fans and analysts alike are watching closely to see whether MFT will establish itself as a lasting power or a stepping stone to more dramatic developments.
As WWE unfolds this evolving narrative, the choices made by Solo Sikoa and his faction will be pivotal in defining the future dynamics within the company and the legacy of the Anoa’i wrestling family.
