Roman Reigns to be confronted by returning ex-Legacy member, Crown Jewel match set? - 4 Ways The Bloodline story can unfold on the Road to Crown Jewel
The Bloodline storyline took a massive turn at Bad Blood 2024 when The Rock returned following Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes' victory over Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. The Road to Crown Jewel has officially kicked off, and the upcoming episode of SmackDown is expected to feature some major developments in the Bloodline saga.
This article will focus on four ways The Bloodline story could unfold as we head toward the upcoming Saudi Arabia Premium Live Event.
#4. Roman Reigns could challenge Solo Sikoa for Crown Jewel 2024
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes defeated Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a tag team match at Bad Blood, but now The Original Tribal Chief may challenge Sikoa to a singles match. The OTC wants his Ula Fala back, and the only way to reclaim it is by defeating Sikoa in a one-on-one match.
With this, it's possible that Reigns might challenge Solo Sikoa soon on SmackDown, leading to their match at Crown Jewel 2024.
#3. Roman Reigns could apologize to Jimmy Uso
Jimmy Uso made his return after a six-month hiatus at Bad Blood to help Roman Reigns secure the victory. After the match, the two Samoans shared an emotional hug. However, on the Road to Crown Jewel, Reigns might apologize to Jimmy for mistreating him in the past. During The Original Tribal Chief's heel run, he mistreated the 39-year-old star several times.
Now that Jimmy is back with Roman and Reigns is a babyface, he could apologize for those past incidents. This could be a great way to reunite the OG Bloodline and potentially face the new Bloodline at Survivor Series.
#2. Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns could challenge Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa for tag titles
With Roman and Jimmy reunited at Bad Blood, it's possible that WWE could explore the direction of Jimmy and Roman challenging Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa for the WWE Tag Team titles. Previously, when the OG Bloodline was dominant, The Usos held the Undisputed Tag Team titles for a record-breaking reign.
Now, with Reigns intent on taking everything away from Solo and teaching him a lesson, this could be one way the family story can unfold on the Road to Crown Jewel 2024. Adding this tag team title match would be a great addition to the Saudi Arabia show.
#1. Can get confronted by a new Bloodline member
The story of this family saga has already seen the arrival of many new members, leading to the prediction that Afa Anoaʻi Jr. (aka Manu) might confront the faction on the Road to Crown Jewel. This speculation arises from Afa Anoaʻi Jr.'s recent interest in returning to WWE.
For those who might not know, Manu has already had a previous stint in WWE, where he was part of the iconic Legacy faction. His last run with WWE began around 2007 and ended in 2009, as he was released on February 23, 2009. Additionally, he is a cousin of Roman Reigns.
WWE could bring Manu back into the company and incorporate him into the ongoing family warfare storyline. This could happen when the former Legacy member confronts Roman Reigns and condemns his actions against his family members. This might lead to Manu siding with Solo Sikoa to strengthen his faction, as a family member would now support them against the Original Tribal Chief.
