WWE touts hectic Crown Jewel weekend for "new-look" Bloodline
WWE Crown Jewel weekend featured a few notable ups and downs for The Bloodline. Roman Reigns reunited with The Usos, then a big Civil War match took place in Saudi Arabia. The saga continued today at two shows, and now WWE is touting the ongoing storyline with an interesting observation.
The Original Tribal Chief teamed with Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso for a shocking loss to Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga in the 17-minute Crown Jewel opener. Sami Zayn saved his former stablemates at one point, but inadvertently laid Reigns out. Fatu and Tonga then defeated The Street Profits at today's non-televised live event in Dublin, while Tonga Loa was at ringside.
The show was headlined by the new Tribal Chief losing to Cody Rhodes with the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line. While the live event was happening, the first-ever RAW in Saudi Arabia was taped, with another major reunion.
The Samoan Werewolf, The Silverback, and Solo's Right Hand Man were all smiles as they entered the backstage Gorilla position in Dublin today, declaring themselves to be the real "ones" in the company. WWE shared the following footage of Fatu, Loa, and Tonga after the win over The Street Profits. They also used an eyebrow-raising phrase in pointing to how this had been a significant weekend for the "New-look Bloodline" and billed today's victory as part of The Bloodline World Tour.
"What a weekend for the new-look Bloodline! #WWEDublin," they wrote with the video below.
The "new-look Bloodline" chapter of this saga is rumored to lead to another Bloodline Civil War match, but this time inside the WarGames structure at Survivor Series on November 30.
The Bloodline set for WWE SmackDown
World Wrestling Entertainment will return to the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY for Friday's live SmackDown. The show will feature Crown Jewel fallout, plus the first real Survivor Series build.
Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa have been confirmed for SmackDown. Jey Uso is also being advertised but for a dark match against Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker. The Bloodline's storyline is expected to pick up in a major way this week on the road to Survivor Series.
