John Cena has been in Bloodline business since WWE SummerSlam 2021 when he faced Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship.
Reigns handled his business on that night, but upon Cena's return to SmackDown, he's back in Bloodline business opposite of Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso.
Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Cena was asked about the current state of The Bloodline.
“The Bloodline has a great thing going, and it’s also very frail at the same time. I think people can sense the possible frailty, the house of cards is blowing in the wind, and that’s when everybody’s like, I can step up and do this. I don’t blame them for doing everything they can to try to solidify their position at the top. I don’t know, I guess I’m the guy foolish enough to step up anyway," he said.
Asked if there's unfinished business with Roman Reigns, Cena stated, "The last time I did get a fair fight, I finished second which isn’t too bad. As long as you’re in the WWE, it’s unfinished business. As long as you’re here, there’s another match, there’s another chance, there’s another day. Is it unfinished business? Sure, of course because we’re always here.”
Jimmy Uso has attempted to establish himself as the current head of the Bloodline with Reigns being off television. Jimmy helped Roman retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WWE SummerSlam 2023, costing his brother Jey the match.
Speaking about Jimmy, Cena said, “Jimmy and I actually go way back. The first time him and his brother had matches in the WWE, I was there. I remember encouraging them to honor their Samoan heritage before the matches. I don’t blame the drastic measures, I don’t blame the brash personality, I endorse it. I mean, the way I first connected with the audience was by being very brash and by taking crazy risks and it necessarily by being virtuous.”
Finally, Cena was asked about Solo Sikoa, who is the son of Umaga.
“The striking parallel that he runs to Umaga in every facet. To be put in that conversation is rarefied air. Solo is a bit of a conundrum, but when I see him and I see him perform, I think of the hard fought battles I had with Umaga and the parallels," he said.
Asked if Sikoa is too loyal to Roman, Cena replied, "Man, you’re talking to the guy who has hustle, loyalty, and respect branded on everything he puts out there. I never fault loyalty, I do fault blind loyalty. Solo’s really new to the game, I don’t blame him for trying to take a second to figure out the landscape.”
Cena is set to team with LA Knight to take on Solo & Jimmy at WWE Fastlane.
