3 reasons why the OG Bloodline reunion is a bad idea
The OG Bloodline reunion appears to be on the horizon in WWE, with Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso recently reuniting on SmackDown. Roman Reigns watched the emotional moment from the entrance ramp, signaling that a full OG reunion was highly imminent.
This moment is something that fans have eagerly anticipated for months. However, there’s another side to this story, as some believe the OG reunion may not be the best move by WWE.
This article will explore why reuniting the original faction could potentially be a bad idea for WWE.
#3. This reunion will bring Jey Uso's singles push to an end
Jey Uso has been enjoying a singles push on Monday Night RAW over the past few months, with his rising popularity becoming a topic of interest. However, reuniting the OG Bloodline could bring an end to The YEET Master's solo run in WWE.
His singles momentum already took a hit when Solo Sikoa’s faction cost him the Intercontinental Championship on a recent episode of RAW. Now, with Jey back alongside the OG Bloodline, it’s clear he would be shifting from a solo competitor back to a faction member.
This shift marks a significant reason why reuniting The Bloodline might not be the best move for WWE and especially, Jey Uso.
#2. Roman Reigns' babyface single run is also seemingly over
Similar to Jey Uso, the OG Bloodline reunion also brings an end to Roman Reigns’ solo run as a babyface in WWE. While Reigns' heel persona as The Original Tribal Chief has been praised as his best character work to date, his earlier babyface 'Big Dog' run was often met with universal criticism.
This current character offered WWE a chance to explore a stronger babyface arc for Reigns, but the reunion appears to stall that potential.
The conflict has now shifted from a rivalry between Roman and Solo to a full-scale 'Civil War' between two warring family factions. As a result, The Original Tribal Chief no longer stands as an individual force, unlike his previous heel reign as the faction leader.
#1. Solo Sikoa's massive push coming to an end after The Bloodline story ends
The recent OG Bloodline reunion with Roman, Jimmy, and Jey is also a strong indication that Solo Sikoa’s massive push may be coming to an end. The Original Tribal Chief is likely to reclaim his Ula Fala, with Survivor Series: WarGames potentially being the setting for this shift.
Once Reigns takes back the Ula Fala from Solo, WWE will likely transition away from the Roman vs. Solo rivalry. This suggests that the company may soon wind down Solo’s push as the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief. The main purpose behind Solo Sikoa’s faction was to create a storyline where, upon Roman’s return, he would fight to reclaim his position and symbols of leadership.
With the story advancing in that direction, it seems only a matter of time before Solo Sikoa’s push as a dominant force on the blue brand reaches its end.
