Major Bloodline member spotted ahead of WWE SmackDown; potential reunion teased
A major member of The Bloodline has been spotted ahead of the upcoming edition of WWE SmackDown in New York. Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn are set to have a conversation following the events at Crown Jewel later tonight on the blue brand.
Wrestling fans have spotted Paul Heyman ahead of tonight's edition of SmackDown. The Wiseman has not appeared on WWE television since he was attacked by The Bloodline on the June 28 episode of SmackDown at Madison Square Garden.
Heyman is regularly backstage at shows, but his hair is jet black once again, potentially suggesting that he could be in store for a reunion with Roman Reigns on SmackDown. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select also noted that Heyman was backstage for tonight's show after the video went viral on social media.
Sami Zayn attempted to hit Solo Sikoa with a Helluva Kick at Crown Jewel but his plan backfired. The former Honorary Uce accidentally hit Roman Reigns with the move after Solo Sikoa and the new version of The Bloodline defeated the Original Tribal Chief and The Usos in a Six-Man Tag Team Match at the PLE.
WWE legend claims Roman Reigns is the perfect opponent for the new version of The Bloodline
Wrestling legend Jerry "The King" Lawler recently claimed that Roman Reigns was the perfect star to go up against Solo Sikoa's version of The Bloodline on WWE SmackDown.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter earlier this year, Lawler predicted Reigns would be the perfect babyface to combat the new version of The Bloodline. The legend also compared Reigns' storyline to classic wrestling stories that always work and keep reappearing from time to time.
"Well, I think he's gonna be perfect. I think he'll be the perfect babyface against those guys. When you say, 'Oh, it's worked out perfect,' well, it's worked out perfect in wrestling. It's done it so many times. I know I've been in that same situation where you be a hot heel and then another heel comes along and they wanna see the old guy get rid of the young guy, and that's what has happened here. It's just classical wrestling stuff happening again," he said. [10:11 – 10:57]
