Solo Sikoa and the new Bloodline had a great night as they claimed a win over Roman Reigns and the OG Bloodline at the WWE Crown Jewel. However, the fans did not like the match as much and were concerned by the fact that Solo pinned Roman to claim a win. There has been a mixed opinion from the fans in the regard.
The match was not particularly great and the fans had an additional reason to be upset with it. Roman Reigns had to sustain a pin to elevate the new Bloodline. While the creative decision behind the move might be to make the new Bloodline look capable enough to take on the old Bloodline without any support, it was not well received by the fans.
There is an opinion from the fans that it could have been done even by getting Jimmy get the pinfall. The fans were unhappy with the fact that Solo Sikoa, who was a jobber in the first three months of the year, ended up pinning Roman who was the most dominant world champion for years.
Mixed opinions from the fans
The Bloodline Civil War story started soon after WrestleMania XL. Since then, there has been a conscious effort to elevate Solo and his family. The likes of Tonga brothers and Jacob Fatu have had their moments similar to Solo.
There is a reason behind their elevation. Given the star power at the other end involving Roman and Jey, there was a need to make the likes of Solo and Jacob strong. One sect of the fans claimed the segments looked justified given the buildup to the Survivor Series War Games.
The end of the segment was rather more confusing for the fans than the entire story so far. The fact that Sami mistakenly took out Roman and ended up walking away without showing any remorse led to the fans thinking about his motives. There has been a claim that the entire match was needed to elevate the new Bloodline.

Absolutely not. Pinning Roman is a big thing, Solo pinning Roman doesn’t make any sense. Roman could’ve won it and then the Bloodline could’ve attacked them.

Thinking that Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline should have won. Jacob Fatu should have gotten the pin. Just my hot take.

Biggest win yet for Solo and his Bloodline!

yeah from being jobbers for a while they're no different to 2023 judgement day but since Survivor series is on the way this W is much needed for solo and new bloodline

Right move, weak execution

Of course it’s the right move. They haven’t teamed in forever and weren’t on the same page. You can’t have them win their first match back

Yeah. OG Bloodline can win at SS
