Nick Aldis plans 5-name ban in 'Tribal Combat' on WWE RAW
SmackDown GM Nick Aldis evaluates strict no-interference rules for Tribal Combat between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.
Nick Aldis is contemplating adding crucial stipulations to the upcoming Tribal Combat match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. According to Sportskeeda, the SmackDown General Manager is considering banning five members affiliated with both Bloodline factions – Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu.
The match will determine the legitimate “Tribal Chief” of WWE, with the winner receiving the coveted Ula Fala. While both competitors have stated their intention to keep their respective stables away from the contest, Aldis may formalize these restrictions with severe penalties for violations.
Drew McIntyre’s potential involvement adds another layer of complexity to the match. Following his December 2 return, McIntyre has targeted Bloodline members, particularly Roman Reigns.
Paul Heyman emphasizes Tribal Combat significance
The stakes of the upcoming Tribal Combat match extend beyond traditional competition, as emphasized by Paul Heyman in recent comments. Speaking about the historic encounter, Heyman provided insight into its deeper significance:
This isn’t just a match, it’s a declaration about who truly leads the Bloodline. Solo has proven his worth repeatedly, he’s not just Roman’s cousin, but a legitimate threat.
Heyman noted that while Reigns has elevated the “Tribal Chief” status to unprecedented levels, Sikoa’s recent ascension has intensified their rivalry. The confrontation represents both family legacy and power dynamics within WWE.
