Last night's episode of SmackDown opened with Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline demanding that the crowd acknowledge him. However, it was then that RAW Superstar and Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso made his way to the ring.
He tried talking sense into his little brother and said that, while he was fine with him seeking more power, he needs to stop dividing their family. Solo countered that by claiming he's uniting the family and would be happy to welcome Jey back into The Bloodline...providing he acknowledges him as the rightful Tribal Chief.
Jey questioned Solo's thinking in aligning himself with dangerous men like Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa and threatened his sibling before leaving the ring.
Backstage, Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso arrived and crossed paths with Jey. The twins actually looked happy to see each other, though there's clearly little love between Jey and Roman. However, the latter grabbed his cousin's arm as he walked away and told him how proud he and the family are.
Jey, unfortunately, rejected the compliment with a "No Yeet."
In the main event segment, Reigns and Solo had a face-to-face confrontation in the ring which saw the former Head of the Table acknowledged Solo. That wasn't good enough for the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief, though, and he demanded to be acknowledged as the "Tribal Chief."
Reigns could no longer hold his temper and a fight ensued after the rest of The Bloodline came out with an unconscious Jimmy.
However, as Reigns put the ula fala back on, Solo hit him with a low blow and a beatdown commenced which saw SmackDown go off the air with the heel and his new Bloodline once again standing tall.
