The Bloodline is still stealing the show on SmackDown, and things are heating up in a big way as we round the corner into another Survivor Series: WarGames. Solo Sikoa and his new Bloodline opened up the November 22 episode of WWE SmackDown, but Roman Reigns wasn’t there. Then they set up a big main event segment, where Solo expected surrender.
To close out this week’s episode of SmackDown, they had a Terms of Surrender segment to hype WarGames. Roman Reigns and the O.G. Bloodline were seen during the show mulling over who they will get as their 5th partner.
Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline will team up with Bronson Reed for WarGames, but Roman Reigns’ 5th man was still a mystery. Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes were both suggested by members of the stable, but Roman Reigns didn’t seem to like those choices.
Everything has a very different feel to things since Roman Reigns failed to get in touch with Paul Heyman. He called the Wise Man during the closing moments of the November 15 episode of WWE SmackDown, but it seemed that the WWE Hall of Famer changed his number on the OTC.
When the main event segment of SmackDown rolled around this week, Solo Sikoa was expecting a simple surrender, but that is not what he received. After Solo’s Bloodline took the ring, and we had a commercial break, the OCT and his crew came out to confront Sikoa’s army of heels before WarGames.
Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn and the Usos got in the ring to stand face-to-face with the new Bloodline. They took a few seconds to allow the “OTC” chants in Utah to fill the arena before Solo said he’s not there to fight Roman, in fact, he never stopped loving all four of the OG Bloodline members.
Solo Sikoa said that “if the four of you join this Bloodline, we can run this company for decades.” He said that the OG Bloodline didn’t have a 5th man or a Wise Man, so they had no choice but to join his team or “the four of you will die where you stand.”
Roman Reigns took a second before we all heard Paul Heyman’s voice ring out, “Ladies and Gentlemen.” Then the crowd popped huge, and they chanted along as he introduced himself. The Wise Man is back, and he made it very clear that there’s no way to do WarGames in a 4 vs 5 format, because that math doesn’t add up. So, he introduced the 5th member as CM Punk’s music hit, and he made his way out to reveal himself as the final piece of the OG Bloodline’s team.
CM Punk took to the ring, and chaos erupted. They brawled in the ring, and in the end, the OG Bloodline stood tall to close out the night with CM Punk by their side. The show closed out with CM Punk and Roman Reigns standing face-to-face as fans chanted, “This is awesome.”
