Ever since Roman Reigns created the Bloodline four years ago, they’ve run wild in WWE. They show up when they want, where they want, and create absolute chaos for everyone in their way. This hasn’t changed since Solo Sikoa became the full-time leader.
Their current incarnation, the MFTs (My Family Tree), is looking to be the strongest one yet. On the August 11, 2025, episode of Monday Night Raw, they arrived on the show even though they are SmackDown wrestlers. Why are they here, and what did they want? The answer was pretty simple, as their target was wrestling on Monday’s episode.
The August 8, 2025, episode of Friday Night SmackDown featured a non-title bout between Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn. Nick Aldis came out to the arena and announced the match for two reasons. One was that Zayn had lots of history with Sikoa, given that he was a member of The Bloodline at one time.
The other was that SmackDown was taking place in a city that is part of Zayn. He was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and every time he wrestles there, he does so in front of people who genuinely support him.
That gives him extra motivation to do well, which helped him in the match. He ended up winning the match via roll up, making his hometown happy but not Sikoa. With the result still in the back of his mind, the MFTs showed up to wreck Zayn’s match with Rusev. That’s exactly what they did, as they brutalized Zayn, causing a disqualification.
All four of them did their part in this beatdown, as families are supposed to work together to defend themselves. There’s no question that the rivalry between Sikoa and Zayn is far from over. It seems like we’ll get more answers on Friday, but for now, the two combatants are on an even playing field with a certain confrontation happening very soon.
