6'8" giant to replace Bloodline member; top star to turn heel after 8 years? 4 twists that are possible at Survivor Series following WWE SmackDown
WWE Survivor Series: WarGames is bringing back the excitement with two WarGames Matches, showcasing both versions of The Bloodline going head-to-head. Plus, there’s a Women’s match lined up to take place in that intense double-cage setup.
This night also features several big championship bouts. It's set to be one of the most intense shows WWE has put on all year.
Which Bloodline will come out on top? Can Roman Reigns and CM Punk hold it together? Which women's team will snag the win? And can Bianca Belair keep her head in the game with Jade Cargill sidelined for who knows how long?
Here are four twists that could happen at the PLE after last night's episode of SmackDown
#4. Hikuleo could replace Tanga Loa
WWE is biding time to bring the six-foot-eight giant into their shows, according to recent reports.
Hikuleo could shake things up by stepping in for Tanga Loa in the WarGames Match. This could be a great opportunity for the Stamford-based promotion to introduce the former NJPW star, putting him right in the middle of The Bloodline Saga.
Assisting the heel faction in taking down Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and The OG Bloodline could establish Hikuleo as a powerhouse right off the bat. It would be an unforgettable way to introduce him to WWE programming and deepen the ongoing Bloodline saga.
#3. The Rock could return to help the heel faction win
The Rock could make a statement by stepping in to help Sikoa and company snag a win and show everyone that he’s their real leader.
His unexpected comeback at WWE Bad Blood had fans buzzing about what he was up to, but teaming up with The Street Champion and his group would solidify his position as The Final Boss in the story. If The Great One is orchestrating the faction's rise while secretly pulling the strings, it could reframe the entire narrative. His betrayal of The OTC would create the perfect setup for a dream match between the two.
This twist could boost Solo and The New Bloodline while making The People’s Champion’s role a key part of this epic storyline.
#2. Naomi could turn heel after eight years and betray her team
Naomi has been a fan favorite since 2016, and even after she departed from WWE, she kept that babyface vibe. If she were to betray Bianca Belair in the Women's WarGames Match, it would be a jaw-dropping moment that could lead to a thrilling new direction for her character.
Although she's teaming up with Belair, Bayley, IYO SKY, and Rhea Ripley, her recent exchanges with The EST and Jade Cargill have got people talking about a possible heel turn.
The Storm was recently attacked by a mystery assailant, and Naomi might be the one behind it. The match would be the ideal setting for The Glow to show her real motives. If she turns on Bianca during the match, it would ramp up the drama and set the stage for an intense rivalry between them.
#1. Seth Rollins could unintentionally help The Original Bloodline win
Even though The Visionary isn't scheduled for the PLE, he could potentially change the entire trajectory of the Men’s WarGames Match. The 38-year-old recently lost to Bronson Reed thanks to help from The Street Champion, who interfered in the match and made sure that Reed emerged victorious.
On November 30, Rollins may look to settle the score with the 36-year-old after their previous encounter. He could hit a powerful Stomp on the 330-pound behemoth, creating just the right distraction for the heel team, allowing the babyface side to turn the tide and snatch victory from their grasp.
