Chaos hit the O2 and nobody is surprised
If you were banking on Solo Sikoa keeping his house in order, you clearly haven't been paying attention to the last few months of booking. Reports confirm that during the taping for the June 26 episode of SmackDown, the faction finally hit the breaking point. Watching a stable implode in London is like watching a pub fight break out after a dodgy pint; you knew it was coming, you just didn't know which guy would throw the first chair.
The O2 crowd got a show, but the internal combustion of Sikoa’s crew is a disaster for anyone expecting a unified front. According to recent reporting on the taping, Sikoa has bigger fish to fry than even Roman Reigns. It seems the leash was never actually that short to begin with, and now the dogs are off it entirely.
The London card brought some surprises
While the faction was busy tearing itself apart, the rest of the show had to actually happen. We saw a new face in the mix, as Blake Monroe made her live debut in London. As noted by WrestleTalk, seeing a fresh call-up in a major market is usually a sign that creative is trying to mask the mid-card malaise. It’s a decent move if you want to distract the fans from the narrative black hole currently swallowing the main event scene.
The booking issues remain obvious
Let’s be real: taping shows in advance is a recipe for spoilers, but it’s also a recipe for lazy pacing. When you read the full spoiler report from the O2, it feels like a collection of clips rather than a cohesive story. You have heavy hitters like Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi mixed in, but the disjointed flow is getting harder to ignore. Cramming this much into a single tape session usually leaves the actual broadcast feeling like a hyperactive TikTok feed.
There is also a cynical part of me that wonders how long the novelty of these international tapings will last before the fatigue sets in. Flying everyone to England is cool, but if the payoff is just another predictable break-up angle, you might as well stay in the Performance Center. Wrestling thrives on momentum, and stopping the clock for a pre-tape just to let a faction fizzle out is a questionable call at best.
The Bloodline legacy is currently on life support
At 2026-06-24, the writing is on the wall for the current iteration of the Sikoa-led group. It wasn’t necessarily an evolution of the story; it was a surrender to the inevitable reality that too many cooks in the kitchen eventually leads to a food fight. This implosion at the 14-minute mark or whenever they chose to pull the trigger is just the latest example of a group living on borrowed time.
We’ll see how the segments actually look on television this Friday. Maybe the edit will hide the cracks, or maybe it will just highlight why the group needed to blow up in the first place.
