WWE officially hands Roman Reigns' stable a new name following SmackDown reunion
Roman Reigns and The Usos have been reunited for several weeks, and there have been rumors that the group would be called the "OG Bloodline," with Solo Sikoa also having his own Bloodline on Friday Night SmackDown.
Following Sami Zayn's reunion with the group this past week on SmackDown, it seems that WWE has now officially unveiled plans for Roman and Co. to be called the "OG Bloodline" moving forward.
WWE's latest merchandise shows that the stable will be called by this name moving forward, noting that the OG Bloodline is finally back together.
Interestingly, the new design was shared by Paul Heyman on his Instagram stories, which was ironic since he was also a major member of the OG Bloodline. The legendary manager was Reigns' Wiseman during the latter's reign as The Tribal Chief.
Check out the screenshot of Paul Heyman's Instagram story below:
Where is Paul Heyman, and why hasn't he reunited with Roman Reigns on WWE SmackDown?
Paul Heyman has been backstage at WWE SmackDown in recent weeks and has been spotted with Roman Reigns since his return. That being said, the Hall of Famer has yet to return to television, shocking fans who believed Heyman would be an integral part of the current feud after he was attacked by Solo Sikoa's Bloodline earlier this June.
While the OTC is at a disadvantage, it makes sense for Heyman to be kept away so that the latter isn't assaulted again. At the same time, it's hard to imagine Heyman with a babyface Reigns.
Heyman worked closely with Brock Lesnar when The Beast was a heel, but when the former UFC star turned face, it was clear that Paul was no longer needed. The same could be the case here with Roman Reigns.
