At ringside, The Bloodline make their way to the ring. OTC chants fill the arena as Solo Sikoa gets on the mic and asks Columbia, SC to acknowledge him. Sikoa says they're the present and the future and that he's the Tribal Chief. He takes credit for creating a bigger and stronger family and bloodline. He says neither Roman or Jimmy can do anything about it and brings up how Jey Uso wants nothing to do with them either. Sikoa promises to beat down Reigns continuously until Reigns acknowledges him. Jey Uso's music hits and the crowd erupts into a sea of Yeets. Uso makes his way to the ring through the crowd and gets into the ring. He addresses Sikoa and says he's not out here to fight because at the end of the day Sikoa is still his little brother. He says he's out here to talk to him one on one, uce to uce and for him to think about his actions. Uso says he has issues with Reigns as well, but it's not right to fight with the family like this. He left when things weren't working and now he's the IC champ. He says fighting over the Ula Fala isn't right as it's earned and not taken. Sikoa asks if Jey Uso is done wasting his time as he isn't dividing the family, and to stop calling him Uso's little brother because he's the Tribal Chief now and asks Jey to acknowledge him. He asks Uso if he's in or out? Uso asks why Sikoa had to go get Jacob Fatu, Tonga Loa, and Tama Tonga if he's trying to reunite the family and that there is a reason they stayed away from them. Uso says next time he sees them, things will be different and he leaves the ring. The Bloodline watch Uso as he makes his way to the back.
