The Bloodline is a villainous professional wrestling stable that performs in WWE on the SmackDown brand. The team is led by Roman Reigns, and features Solo Sikoa, The Rock and Tama Tonga. The majority are members of the Anoaʻi family. They are managed by Paul Heyman. Jey Uso was also a member until June 2023 when he turned on Reigns and was then traded to the Raw brand in September. Jimmy Uso had also briefly left the group right before his brother did but reinserted himself into the group in September, but was kicked out in April 2024. Sami Zayn, who is not a member of the Anoaʻi family, was also an honorary member of the stable from May 2022 to January 2023.

The stable officially formed in July 2021 after a feud between Reigns and Jey in late 2020, with Jimmy getting involved after returning from an injury. Sikoa would then join in September 2022. In February 2024 in the build up to WrestleMania XL, The Rock officially joined the group. Tonga then joined the group in April 2024 upon his WWE debut, helping Sikoa kick Jimmy out.

Reigns was promoted as the

fifth respective reigns, having the longest reign and the longest male tag team title reign in WWE history for the latter. Jey also won the 2021 André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, while Sikoa briefly held the NXT North American Championship
shortly after he joined the group.

Background

The Bloodline members have long histories before the advent of the stable.

Sika Anoaʻi, made his professional wrestling debut in 2010 at WWE's former developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), under the ring name Leakee. After FCW was shutdown and rebranded as NXT in 2012, he took on the name "Roman Reigns" and had a short stint on NXT before being called up to the main roster in late 2012 where he became part of The Shield; he would later win multiple world championships after the stable's dissolution in 2014.[1]

Meanwhile,

six-man tag team match with the trio emerging victorious. Sikoa made his pro-wrestling debut in 2018 before signing with WWE in 2021 where he made his NXT debut that October until his main roster call up in September 2022.[2]

The Rock, like Reigns, had a successful professional football career; who later debuted in 1996 and became a member of the Nation of Domination the next year before becoming a multiple time world champions during the Attitude Era. His first interaction with Reigns on WWE television took place on the January 21, 2013 episode of Raw. Before that, a possible future match between the two men is referenced in the second season, fifth episode of Young Rock.[3][4]

History

The Usos' feud with The Shield (2013–2014)

Before The Usos began teaming up with Reigns, they had several matches against The Shield, Reigns' old stable, with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, with the majority taking place in 2013.

WWE Tag Team Championship after Reigns pinned Jimmy. On the July 19 episode of SmackDown, the two stables brawled until Mark Henry came to The Usos' aid. In return, The Usos helped Henry fend off The Shield on the July 22 episode of Raw. The following week, they lost after Ambrose pinned Jimmy. Despite this, Henry attacked The Shield after the match, forcing them to retreat. The same match result occurred on the August 7 episode of WWE Main Event. Throughout the remainder of the year, the two stables would exchange wins, with The Usos teaming with the likes of Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, Daniel Bryan, Big E Langston, Cody Rhodes and Goldust, Rey Mysterio and CM Punk
. The last match that the two stables would have against each other was on the January 3, 2014, episode of SmackDown, where The Usos and Punk won after the latter pinned Ambrose.

Occasional team-ups (2015–2020)

Following his split from The Shield and his subsequent singles career, Reigns would occasionally join forces with The Usos in numerous tag-team matches, with The Usos also occasionally becoming involved in Reigns' feuds in support of their cousin. The trio first teamed together on the November 2, 2015, episode of Raw, where they teamed with

The League of Nations and The Wyatt Family.[6]

On the May 2, 2016, episode of Raw, The Usos became involved in Reigns' feud with

six-man tag team match. After Styles, Anderson and Gallows won the match, Anderson and Gallows wanted Styles to hit Reigns with a chair but Styles refused. When The Usos attacked Styles from behind with a chair, Styles retaliated with the chair. Ultimately, Reigns powerbombed Styles through the broadcast table.[7] At Extreme Rules, The Usos were defeated by Gallows and Anderson in a Tornado tag team match. Later that same night, after Gallows and Anderson interfered in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match between Reigns and Styles, The Usos interfered to assist Reigns, ultimately allowing Reigns to retain the title.[8]

On the May 14, 2019, episode of SmackDown Live, The Usos aided Reigns from an attack by

Robert Roode in a six-man tag team match to end their feud.[12] Jimmy suffered a legitimate knee injury during the match at WrestleMania 36, putting him out of in-ring action indefinitely.[13]

Formation of The Bloodline (2020–2021)

The group's manager Paul Heyman

At

"I Quit" match at the namesake event[19] with the added stipulation that if Jey lost, he would have to follow Reigns' orders or be kicked out of their family.[20] At the event, Jey lost again after Reigns attacked the injured Jimmy and forced Jey to say "I quit" to save his brother.[21]

On the October 30 episode of SmackDown, Jey defeated Daniel Bryan to qualify for Team SmackDown at

Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal by last eliminating Shinsuke Nakamura. This marked Jey's first major singles accolade in WWE.[24]

Jimmy returned from injury on the May 7 episode of SmackDown, but did not approve of the alliance between Jey and Reigns, as he called Jey "Reigns' bitch" and started wearing a t-shirt that said "Nobody's Bitch".

SmackDown Tag Team Championship, however, the match ended in a controversial finish in which the referee did not notice that Jimmy had his shoulder up during the pin. The Usos were granted a rematch later that same night, but during the rematch, Reigns interfered by attacking the Mysterios, not wanting The Usos to embarrass themselves again. Following the match, Reigns brutally attacked Rey's son Dominik, which Jimmy felt Reigns took too far, also furthering tensions between Reigns and Jimmy.[26] The ensuing dissension between the two over Jey's allegiance eventually caused Jey to temporarily walk out on the June 11 episode of SmackDown, after which, Reigns manipulated Jimmy into feeling guilty for their recent dissension.[27] As a result, the following week on the June 18 episode of SmackDown, Jimmy offered his help to Reigns during his Hell in a Cell match with Rey Mysterio, and he rose Reigns' hand after the match.[28] The following week on SmackDown, Jimmy attempted to assist Reigns when Edge attacked him and speared him through the barricade.[29]

On the July 9 episode of SmackDown, Jey returned and both Usos solidified their alliance with Reigns, thus cementing them both as heels in the process, and properly reuniting as "The Bloodline."[30]

All champions (2021–2022)

The Usos (Jimmy Uso (left) and Jey Uso (right)), founding members of the stable.

On the July 16 episode of SmackDown, the first episode after the WWE resumed touring due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Bloodline faced Edge and The Mysterios in a six-man tag team match, in which they emerged victorious, although Edge attacked the trio after the match.[31] At Money in the Bank, The Usos defeated The Mysterios on the Kickoff pre-show to become five time SmackDown Tag Team Champions.[32] In the main event, Reigns defeated Edge to retain the Universal Championship.[33] At SummerSlam, The Usos once again defeated The Mysterios to retain the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, and Reigns later defeated John Cena in the main event to retain the Universal Championship.[34]

At

WWE Day 1 pay-per-view match due to testing positive for COVID-19, while Brock Lesnar was instead added to Raw's WWE Championship match.[39] The Usos still competed at Day 1, and successfully retained their titles against The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods).[40]

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions and thus making all members of the faction double champions.[43]

Induction of Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa (2022–2023)

Sami Zayn joined the stable in mid-2022.

Around this time, Sami Zayn, who had also been in a rivalry with McIntyre, started associating himself with the Bloodline,[44][45][46] and later became an honorary member of the group.[47] At first, Zayn found it tricky to ingratiate himself into the group, which until this point had consisted only of members of the same family with the exception of Heyman; however, owing to his puppyish enthusiasm and apparent devotion to The Tribal Chief, Zayn gradually began to become accepted by the group, especially Jimmy, with whom Zayn had formed a bond. Zayn began to style himself as "The Honorary Uce".[47] On the September 23, 2022, episode of SmackDown, Zayn was ordered by Reigns to remove his Bloodline t-shirt. Initially saddened, Zayn was then presented with a t-shirt that read "Honorary Uce", making his position as member of the Bloodline official.[48]

At

Last Man Standing match.[49]

At

Survivor Series: WarGames on November 26, The Bloodline defeated The Brawling Brutes, Drew McIntyre and Kevin Owens in a WarGames match, with Sami solidifying his place in the group in the eyes of Jey.[54]

After losing to Owens and the returning

turmoil match on the January 9, 2023 episode of Raw.[57]

At Raw is XXX on January 23, 2023,[58] Sami Zayn was put on trial by Reigns in "Tribal Court," in which Reigns accused Zayn of plotting against the Bloodline and being secretly in league with his longtime "frenemy" Kevin Owens. Paul Heyman acted as prosecutor, showing several videos of perceived treachery towards the Bloodline. Zayn then shot back saying that, because of what he was perceived as, he didn't have a defense. Outraged by this statement, Reigns calls for Sikoa to attack him, but Jey Uso immediately rushes to protect Zayn, offering a passionate defense of The Honorary Uce, leading to Zayn being declared innocent by Reigns, albeit grudgingly.[59]

Later that night, The Usos defended their Raw Tag Team Championships against The Judgment Day (represented by Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio), but after Jimmy suffered a mid-match injury, Zayn took his place alongside Jey and the two were victorious.[59]

Bloodline Civil War (2023)

The Bloodline at the 2023 Royal Rumble event.

At the 2023 Royal Rumble event, Reigns retained the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Kevin Owens. Following the match, there was an in-ring segment where the Bloodline attacked Owens, handcuffing him to the ropes and beating him. Reigns asked Zayn to hit Owens, but then Zayn hit Reigns with the chair, turning face for the first time since 2017. The group then beat down Zayn. Meanwhile, Jey watched in disgust and left the scene.[60] Jimmy appeared at Elimination Chamber and tried to assist Reigns in his title defense against Zayn, while Jey entered the ring and prevented Reigns from attacking Zayn with a steel chair, after the referee had been knocked unconscious. Shortly after, Zayn got up and attempted to spear Reigns, but inadvertently speared Jey. Reigns ended up retaining his title.[61]

On the March 6 episode of Raw, Jey showed up from the crowd during Jimmy's match against Zayn which Jimmy lost. Following the match, Jey appeared to hug Zayn before superkicking him, signaling Jey's allegiance to The Bloodline. The Usos and Sikoa assaulted Zayn before Cody Rhodes immediately rushed out to save him.[62] On Night 1 of WrestleMania 39, The Usos lost the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships to Owens and Zayn.[63] On Night 2 of WrestleMania 39, Reigns retained the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Rhodes after interference from Sikoa.[64]

On the April 17 episode of Raw, Heyman announced that Reigns had entered The Bloodline into a temporary alliance with The Judgment Day. Following Heyman's announcement, Sikoa beat the Latino World Order's Rey Mysterio in a singles match. Later that night, The Judgment Day and The Bloodline got into a brawl with Matt Riddle, Owens, Zayn and the Latino World Order.[65] On the first night of the 2023 WWE Draft on the April 28 episode of SmackDown, Reigns and Sikoa (with Heyman) were drafted to SmackDown as the number one pick. Later that night, The Usos failed to capture the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship in their rematch against Owens and Zayn.[66] At Backlash, The Usos and Sikoa defeated Riddle, Owens and Zayn in a six-man tag team match. However, tensions within the group further flared during the match and it escalated when Sikoa almost hit Jey with the Samoan Spike.[67][68]

On the May 26 episode of SmackDown, Owens and Zayn hosted the KO Show with Reigns and Sikoa as guests, but The Usos made an appearance against Reigns' wishes. As Jimmy proclaimed himself the "Tribal Chief" after being insulted as Reigns' errand boys, Reigns entered the arena and confronted Jimmy before confronting Owens and Zayn. After The Bloodline beat the two up, Jimmy refused to hand the titles to Reigns before they were taken by Jey, further sowing dissension in The Bloodline.[69][70] At the Night of Champions event in Saudi Arabia on May 27, The Usos interfered in the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match between Reigns and Sikoa against Owens and Zayn. During the match, after accidentally attacking Sikoa while aiming for Zayn, Jimmy betrayed Reigns after the latter disrespected both him and Jey. Despite Jey's reluctance, The Usos abandoned Reigns and walked away, resulting in Owens and Zayn retaining the titles.[71][72] On the following episode of SmackDown during the celebration of Reigns surpassing 1,000 days as champion, Sikoa turned on The Usos by attacking Jimmy and sided with Reigns, who officially exiled Jimmy from the group.[73] The following week, Heyman demanded Jey reaffirm his loyalty to Reigns and arranged a WWE United States Championship match against Austin Theory to entice him, but Jimmy inadvertently ended up costing him the match.[74] On the June 16 episode of SmackDown, Jey decided to side with Jimmy and exited The Bloodline by superkicking Reigns and helping Jimmy fend off Sikoa, ending The Usos' association with Reigns in the process.[75] This led to a match dubbed the "Bloodline Civil War" being announced for Money in the Bank pitting Reigns and Sikoa vs. The Usos.[76] The Usos won the match with Jey giving Reigns his first direct pinfall loss since December 2019 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (2019).[77][78]

Reigns and Heyman at the 2023 SummerSlam event.

At SummerSlam, Jimmy appeared to have turned on Jey by pulling him out of the ring while he was trying to pin Reigns and superkicked him, allowing Reigns to defeat Jey.[79] However, on the August 11 episode of SmackDown, he explained that the reason for his actions was out of fear that if Jey had become the new Tribal Chief, the power would have corrupted him. Jey responded by superkicking Reigns, Sikoa, and finally Jimmy. Afterwards, he declared that he was quitting WWE.[80] A few weeks later, Jimmy returned on the September 1 episode of SmackDown with a new theme song,[81] while Jey moved to Raw the next night at Payback with the remixed version of his former entrance theme.[82]

At Crown Jewel in November 2023, Reigns defeated LA Knight to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship after interference from The Bloodline, while Sikoa defeated Cena with 9 Samoan Spikes.[83] On the following episode of SmackDown, Knight stated that he was not done with The Bloodline until he defeated Reigns for the title.[84] Orton then returned at Survivor Series: WarGames later that same month,[85] and on the December 1 episode of SmackDown, he signed with the SmackDown brand after fending off an attack by The Bloodline, vowing to get revenge.[86]

On the December 15 episode of SmackDown, Reigns named Sikoa as the "Tribal Heir" of The Bloodline while Styles returned and helped Knight and Orton fend off The Bloodline before attacking Knight.

Fatal 4-Way match at the Royal Rumble. At the namesake event, Reigns would retain the title.[88] After Cody Rhodes won the 2024 Royal Rumble,[88] a WrestleMania XL Kickoff media event was then held on February 8 that included The Rock. Rhodes challenged Reigns for the title at WrestleMania XL.[89] Two weeks later, The Rock officially joined The Bloodline, thus turning heel for the first time since 2003.[90][91] At WrestleMania XL Night 1, Reigns and The Rock won the tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.[92] On WrestleMania XL Night 2, Rhodes won the match against Reigns and become the new Undisputed WWE Champion ending Reigns' 3½-year reign as champion.[93]
