During last Friday's SmackDown, Solo Sikoa laid waste to his brother Jimmy Uso and revealed that Tama Tonga has joined The Bloodline. He seemingly did so without Roman Reigns' blessing, leaving fans to wonder whether The Rock might secretly be calling the shots. 

Yesterday evening's show opened with Solo keen to exact revenge on Kevin Owens for the shot he took at the faction the previous week. He later hit the ring to justify taking Jimmy out, describing Tonga as his new brother. 

With that, Owens - who was bleeding heavily from the head - suddenly appeared, with the newest member of The Bloodline laying waste to KO (we'd later learn that Tonga drove his car into Owens'). 

Here's how it all played out...

Elsewhere in the show, AJ Styles was named the new #1 contender to Cody Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Universal Championship after defeating LA Knight in a WrestleMania rematch. They'll clash at Backlash.

Austin Theory and Grayson Waller were also presented with new WWE Tag Team Championships, later learning that their first challengers will be The Street Profits. 

The main event, meanwhile, saw Bayley defend her WWE Women's Championship against Naomi, only for the match to end sooner than expected when Tiffany Stratton attacked both women. 

Check out some highlights from each of those segments below.
