We take a look back at what the House of Bloodline did last week.

The scene shifts to pre-recorded comments from Roman Reigns.

Roman reflects on the challenges he’s faced over the past year. He admits it’s been rough, recalling how not long ago, they controlled everything. But in the spring and summer, it all fell apart. He lost his title, his wise man, and the entire Bloodline. Most painfully, he lost his ula fala.

Roman addresses Solo, reminding him that four years ago, Solo wasn’t there. The ula fala wasn’t taken—it was earned. His father and uncle crowned him with the honor because he was the man destined to lead the family. Roman emphasizes that everything he does is for his family and for the ula fala.

He turns his attention to January 6th on Netflix, declaring it will be Tribal Combat. Each Bloodline faction has a win, and now it’s time to settle it. Chief versus Chief, with the tribes watching.

Roman promises that on January 6th, he will reclaim his Bloodline, his ula fala, and his respect. When he earns that respect back, the world will have no choice but to acknowledge him.
