On the latest episode of SmackDown, tension continued to build within The Bloodline as Sami Zayn made a surprising return to the ring with Roman Reigns, The Usos, and a bold new contender in Jacob Fatu.
Sami Zayn’s Heartfelt Plea to The Bloodline
The segment began with Jey Uso urging Roman Reigns to hear out Sami Zayn. Zayn, addressing the events at Crown Jewel, emphasized his loyalty to Jey and expressed nostalgia for the camaraderie the Bloodline once shared. In an emotionally charged moment, Sami told Roman that he believed Reigns wasn’t indifferent to him, hinting that there was still a connection between them.
Sami even went so far as to propose a reunion, saying, “If you want The Usos, and Sami Zayn, and Roman Reigns fighting together, I’ll do it. I just need you to do one thing for me. Apologize.” However, Zayn clarified that the apology was for Jey, not himself. The demand left Roman stunned, and his response made it clear he wasn’t interested in rekindling the past.
Roman Reigns’ Response and Jacob Fatu’s Challenge
Roman, visibly angered, turned down Sami’s request, declaring, “He’s not in our family. He’s not blood. He’s not honorary. He ain’t no Uso.” Reigns made it clear that his focus was on Solo Sikoa, instructing him to enter the ring to “handle business.”
However, before Solo could respond, Jacob Fatu appeared on the titantron. In a shocking message, Fatu declared Solo the true Tribal Chief, diminishing Roman’s status and asserting that Solo moves on his own terms. Jacob’s taunt ended with a powerful message, asserting that Reigns will eventually “acknowledge” Solo, setting up an electrifying twist to The Bloodline saga.
Backstage Drama with Jey and Roman Reigns
The night’s intensity carried over to a backstage confrontation between Jey Uso and Roman Reigns. When Jey asked Roman why he couldn’t hear Sami out, Roman grew frustrated and coldly dismissed Jey’s concerns, telling him to “go find [Sami].” The exchange ended with Jey reminding Roman that he would no longer be spoken to with disrespect, a defiant stance that could signal cracks in their alliance. Roman, in response, instructed Jimmy to go find his brother, creating further tension within The Bloodline.
What’s Next for The Bloodline?
This SmackDown segment leaves WWE fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter for The Bloodline. As Roman struggles to maintain control, new threats arise, with Jacob Fatu claiming Solo as the true Tribal Chief. Will Roman be able to keep The Bloodline united, or will his authority crumble under these new pressures?
