Tonight’s SmackDown at Madison Square Garden kicked off with Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa arriving in a car and Paul Heyman waiting for them.
Heyman said he knows Solo doesn’t answer to him, but asked him where Jacob Fatu is. Solo smiled and patted Heyman on the shoulder before heading to the ring. Fans chanted “We Want Roman”.
As The Bloodline was making their entrance, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton & Kevin Owens arrived together in a car and a brawl broke out between the 6 men.
The babyfaces destroyed Solo and the Tongas before SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis brought out security.

Orton RKOed one of the security members, which led to other security members attacking them, but the babyfaces laid all of them out. An angry Aldis rushed to the backstage area after this.
Owens said if The Bloodline thought they were gonna wait until Money In The Bank to fight, then they are dumber than they look.
Orton said The Bloodline took him out and he missed 18 months, he will finish them off at Money In The Bank.
Cody said he thought he ended The Bloodline at WrestleMania and said Solo Sikoa isn’t The Tribal Chief or the Head of the Table, but just a seat filler. Cody said he should be defending the WWE Championship here tonight and this led to Orton directing his attention towards The American Nightmare, thus subtly teasing that he wants the Undisputed Title. You can watch it below:
