The Final Boss making boss moves?

When “The Bloodline” came back to WWE television after WrestleMania 40, on the weekend of April 6th, they were only represented by Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sioka. As Paul Heyman began accepting responsibility for Roman Reigns loss to Cody Rhodes, for the WWE title. Solo took exception, snatched the mic, and said “Losses have consequences, right?” In shock, Heyman said yes and this lead to Solo, and with whom he has dubbed his “MFT” (Tama Tonga, signing with WWE after leaving NJPW) attacked Jimmy, leaving him lay. Paul Heyman left the ring with Solo and Tanga after the melee but looked very distressed. Later than night, Tama Tonga leaned into Heyman’s face and said “by order of the Tribal Chief.” Heyman looked confused, and frightened. The following week, on WWE Smackdown, it was revealed that Solo had admitted Tonga into the Bloodline, causing Heyman more distress than ever. Later, the MFT attacked Kevin Owens by t-boning his rental car with a rental car of his own, dragging Owens into the arena, and shoving him down the entrance ramp. Owens attempted to fight back, but he was outnumbered. Who knows just how bad this would have gotten if not for Smackdown General Manager, Nick Aldis, stepping between the crazed Tama Tanga and Owens. Aldis demanded that Heyman get control of the Bloodline, because on Smackdown “we settle things in the ring!” Heyman insisted this wasn’t part of any plan, and wasn’t ordered by anyone. 

It appears that Solo Sioka has simply decided to take the mantle of “Tribal Chief.” On the surface it seems that in his plan to usurp Roman Reigns as the head of the table he went and procured a savage body guard in Tama Tanga, “his MFT” after all. I however feel that we have to look deeper than what we see on the surface. While Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has gone away for now, he is still a member of the board for TKO, the owner of WWE. The Rock came into WWE after Cody Rhodes had just won the Royal Rumble for the second time in a row, an amazing feat, just so he could continue to chase the end of his story. The Rock tried to talk Cody out of his WrestleMania match against Roman. The Rock wanted that shot for himself. The Rock believed that the fans of WWE wanted to see himself challenge Roman for the WWE title, and “Tribal Chief” moniker, more than they wanted to see Cody finish his story. The Rock…was wrong. I believe we have to take into consideration what this has done to the Rock. Yes, we saw how it brought out the old “Heel” Rock. We saw him blatantly attack Cody, bloody him, rub that blood onto a “Momma Rhodes” weight belt that he had made to present to Cody’s mother himself! So yes, we saw just how much the fans reaction caused the Rock to snap. That said, I believe, now that The Rock’s anger has subdued, and we can see that has subdued when he went face to face with Cody in the ring, swapped belts with him so each could hold the other, and gave him a gift back, that Cody had given him some time ago, promising to return and come back for Cody, and his WWE title. So the Rock has gone from angry, and crazed, to subdued and plotting. 

The Rock sees himself as not just a boss, but the final boss.That moniker is an important one. He sits on a throne, like a real life Thanos if you will. His shot at collecting his metaphorical infinity gauntlet, becoming a TKO board member, defeating Roman Reigns, becoming the WWE champion in this new era, and having the mantel of Tribal chief bestowed upon him, was denied by Cody Rhodes, and in some  part, the fans. The Rock now sits in Hollywood, working on his movies, while plotting his return to WWE. I believe the Rock’s plot includes naming Solo Sioka the leader of the Bloodline in his stead, not the Tribal Chief, but someone The Rock trusts and knows will be as wicked as he has to be. I believe the Rock possibly subsidized Toma Tonga’s WWE contract to make sure he was brought in as the Bloodline’s killer, Solo Sioka’s MFT! Just like a mob boss that goes to prison but still controls his “family” from the inside, The Rock controls his bloodline from inside his Hollywood trailer. I believe the Rock has further plans to deepen his grasp on the WWE, and that he feels Roman Reigns disappointed him, and the bloodline with his loss. Remember, The Rock pinned Cody Rhodes on night one, and Roman failed to do the same. WWE legends came to WrestleMania 40 to thwart The Rock’s plans, so he must make his bloodline stronger and more savage than ever! Rumors say that Jacob Fatu, one of the most savage and scary Samoan wrestlers in the world has signed with WWE. The question is, who will he side with when he debuts? Jimmy Uso was jumped out of the bloodline, but will his brother Jey take him in? Jey is on record saying that he told Jimmy to come with him when he left the bloodline, but he refused. So now what? Jey is gunning for the WWE World title, does he have the time or desire to round up his brother and re-start their incredible tag team? Jey and Jimmy with Jacob Fatu and a returning Roman Reigns would be a powerful team to stand up to this new Bloodline! How about Paul Heyman? Is he really as distraught as it appears? Or is that all an act by a man that can be as weasely as anyone? What about the upcoming draft? How is that going to affect things? So many questions, and none of us know the answers, but I stand by what I’ve written here…the Rock is behind Solo Sioka’s actions, all part of his plan for revenge on The WWE, Cody Rhodes, and the fans!
