Check out the OTC's post below:
On SmackDown, Roman Reigns was involved in multiple segments with Sami Zayn and The Usos. During the show's closing segment, he was attacked by The Bloodline, which also took out The Usos.
With Solo Sikoa ordering Zayn to hit the Original Tribal Chief with a Helluva Kick, the former Honorary Uce finally pledged his allegiance to the OG Bloodline. The faction will face Solo and Co. in a WarGames Match at the Survivor Series Premium Live Event.
Vince Russo claimed that Roman Reigns' reunion with Sami Zayn was quite predictable
Vince Russo discussed the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion's reunion with Sami Zayn as the erstwhile Honorary Uce returned to the OG Bloodline last night.
Speaking on the BroDown podcast, the wrestling veteran stated that the reunion was too predictable.
"This is exactly what the fans wanted. They gave them exactly what they wanted. The writing was on the wall; you knew it was gonna come down to this. You know, like I said, at the top of the show sometimes you gotta give the fans what they want. I just wish it wouldn't have been as predictable as it was," he said.
At the 2023 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, Sami Zayn betrayed Roman Reigns and parted ways with the OG Bloodline. This led to his reunion with Kevin Owens, as the duo defeated The Usos at WrestleMania 39 for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.
