At WWE Crown Jewel 2024, Roman Reigns lost clean to Solo Sikoa in the opening match. This sparked a lot of controversy and only intensified the ongoing drama within the Bloodline family feud.
During a Q&A on Fightful Select, Sean Ross Sapp addressed why the Bloodline match opened the Crown Jewel card rather than getting a different spot. WWE had several factors to weigh when making this choice.
A few key reasons influenced this decision. The booking itself didn’t call for a main event spot, as the match ended with more of an angle than a decisive conclusion.
The report also noted WWE’s desire to spotlight the Crown Jewel championship, which they had promoted heavily. Closing the show with Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan held significance for WWE’s business relationships.
The Bloodline storyline has been running for years, dating back to the pandemic era. With WarGames set for November 30, there’s more to come in this family conflict.
On the November 8 episode of SmackDown, the original Bloodline, including Sami Zayn, reunited in anticipation of Survivor Series. But at Crown Jewel, they couldn’t stop Solo Sikoa’s reign as the new Tribal Chief.
