Backstage News On Whether The Bloodline Are Internally Listed As Faces Or Heels In WWE
The Bloodline's status as heels or babyfaces has been the subject of speculation, and a new report has provided an update.
Over the last few months, The Bloodline — which now consists of The Usos, Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa, and Roman Reigns — has showcased heelish tendencies and is now feuding with a heel group led by Royce Keys. "PWInsider Elite" has shed some light on The Bloodline's characters, explaining that the group has been categorized as heels on WWE's internal roster, but noting that Reigns, Fatu, and The Usos are the ones listed as the bad guys. Sikoa, the report claimed, is seen as a babyface backstage in WWE.
Sikoa was forced to rejoin The Bloodline in August after losing to Jey Uso, with the stipulation stating that he had to pledge allegiance to "The Original Tribal Chief," Roman Reigns. While he initially rejected it, he was coerced into being part of the group once again. Sikoa began receiving babyface reactions from the crowd when he teamed with LA Knight, which reports in July indicated had pleased those backstage at WWE.
The former WWE United States Champion has continued to be hesitant to fully embrace The Bloodline, which could explain why WWE sees him as a babyface.
