There is talk The Bloodline is going to add a new member in the next couple of weeks. Who will join forces with the most powerful faction in WWE?
A recent report by PWInsider suggests that current NXT star Solo Sikoa (real name Joseph Fatu) might be headed to the main roster. Sikoa is the younger brother of Jimmy and Jey Uso (Jonathan & Joshua Fatu) and cousin of Roman Reigns. He is currently a star on NXT programming but the logical option seems to be to have him join his family and become the latest member of The Bloodline.
The word is that Sikoa is heading to the main roster right away and speculation that he could be SmackDown bound in September has ramped up. PWInsider.com reported today it will be happening "ASAP" as he is slated to join the blue brand, but The Bloodline is sharing time on both Raw and SmackDown seeing as they own most of the gold in WWE. He may not officially be added to one roster over the other, but because he won't be a titleholder, WWE may make a distinction and add him to SmackDown. One of the storylines could be that Sikoa will replace honorary member Sami Zayn, who has worked hard to be included by the group, but it seems clear they are using him.

The Bloodline has not added a new member since forming their stable and Zayn, while entertaining, is not likely the exception that will stick. Sikoa's arrival could be part of a storyline that sees Zayn join forces with Kevin Owens or turn babyface. There's been chatter WWE is thinking about giving Zayn a push and that the company has greatly appreciated his efforts over the last year. Meanwhile, Sikoa is ready to make the jump and there's only so long he can be in NXT, especially considering his connection to The Bloodline just makes too much sense.
Reign's group is far from stale, but adding another member is a great way to keep the group fresh and Sikoa makes a ton of sense. He's got the look and the ability and there's no better place for him to get a crash course in becoming a star than alongside the Usos and Reigns.
