Major WWE star interfering to cost OG Bloodline the Men's WarGames Match must happen, says Vince Russo
The OG Bloodline will face the new Bloodline in a WarGames Match at WWE Survivor Series. Wrestling veteran Vince Russo recently suggested that a top superstar could interfere to cost Roman Reigns' team the clash.
Before Paul Heyman revealed CM Punk as the fifth member of the OG Bloodline's team for WarGames, The Usos, and Sami Zayn attempted to recruit Seth Rollins. However, The Visionary refused to team up again with his former Shield-mate. While Rollins also declined to join Solo Sikoa's team, the latter added The Visionary's arch-rival Bronson Reed to the new Bloodline's team and also cost the former World Heavyweight Champion his match against the Auszilla on the November 18 edition of RAW.
Speaking on The Brand podcast, Vince Russo claimed that WWE had buried Rollins by replacing him with CM Punk as the OG Bloodline's fifth member and not having him on RAW last Monday following his loss to Reed. He claimed that only turning The Visionary heel and having him cost Reigns' team the WarGames Match could turn that situation around.
"First of all, so, that causes Seth Rollins to lose. There's no mention, no sight, nothing of Rollins this week. So, for the time being, you've totally buried Seth Rollins now unless he screws CM Punk and he screws them out of the victory at Survivor Series. If you do that and you're turning Seth Rollins heel, fine," he said. [8:49 - 9:15]

Vince Russo thinks WWE initially planned to have Seth Rollins join the OG Bloodline's team
On the same episode of The Brand podcast, former WWE head writer Vince Russo predicted that the Stamford-based company initially planned to have Seth Rollins join the OG Bloodline, but then changed their plans.
The wrestling veteran suggested the promotion changed the plan following a critical tweet he had posted about the Solo Sikoa segment where he caused the distraction for Rollin's loss to Reed.
"Remember last week when [Sikoa] stood on the desk and Rollins looked over and got distracted and that's how he lost to Bronson Reed? So, Stevie, I put out a tweet and I said in the tweet because I was so disgusted with that, I said, 'Does Triple H write this show with a Crayon?' I said, 'Okay, so because Solo stood on the desk and made Seth lose, now Seth is gonna be the fifth man on the babyface team. Bro, I know they saw that tweet and I'm telling you, I'm convinced that's why CM Punk was put in that spot," he said.
Two of Rollins' WWE rivals, CM Punk and Bronson Reed, will compete in the Men's WarGames Match. It will be interesting to see if he will indeed get involved at Survivor Series on November 30.
