WWE SmackDown Results: Legend injured after taking banned move; Bloodline headed for Wargames; brand new title unveiled (11/8/24)

WWE SmackDown kicked off with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso showing up to the ring. Jey Uso joined them before Sami Zayn made his entrance as well.

Zayn explained that he didn't mean to attack Roman at Crown Jewel and that it was special that all four members of the old Bloodline were in the ring together.

Sami added that he enjoyed his time with the Bloodline and that Roman, Jimmy, and Jey felt it, too. Sami asked Roman to make the call, and Reigns smiled before Zayn asked The OTC to apologize, not to him but to Jey. Roman said he was sorry he let Jey waste his time with this and called Solo Sikoa down to the ring.

Zayn spoke to Jey in private and left the ring before Jacob Fatu showed up on the Titantron.

Fatu called Roman stupid and said that Solo would come out when he pleased, not because Roman called him out. Roman and the Usos walked out, and we headed for the night's first match on SmackDown.

Backstage on SmackDown, Jey told Roman that he wanted him to hear Sami out and that this was his one chance. Roman told Jey off, and after Jimmy tried to convince him, he told Jimmy off as well.

The Usos were both gone, and Jey left the OTC by himself.

Backstage on SmackDown, The Street Profits challenged Motor City to a tag title match. Ciampa got angry and tossed a water bottle before SmackDown moved on.

Nick Aldis revealed a brand new Women's United States Championship and said it would not be handed but earned on SmackDown.

The new Bloodline was backstage and made their way to the ring on SmackDown. After Solo asked the crowd to acknowledge him, Roman Reigns made his entrance and stepped into the ring.

Sikoa said that he wanted Roman to acknowledge him as the undisputed Tribal Chief. Reigns asked the crowd if they wanted that, but the crowd said no. Roman said that he would never acknowledge Solo but was there to challenge him to a one-on-one match, with the leader being crowned the Tribal Chief.

Solo laughed it off and said he didn't need to fight Roman since he was already the Tribal Chief. Sikoa instead challenged Roman to find four men who would join him in a war against the Bloodline, referring to WarGames. Roman asked who the fifth guy was, and Solo said it was Sami Zayn.

The new Bloodline attacked Roman in the ring, and Solo said that Sami kicking him wasn't a mistake. The Usos came out to help and were promptly wiped out by Fatu before Solo called Sami to the ring. Zayn stepped into the ring, and Solo told him to kick Roman in the face, but Sami hit the Helluva Kick on Solo instead.

Fatu came in but took the Superman Punch from Reigns before Sami also hit him with the Helluva Kick. Roman hit the spear on Solo before all four members of the original Bloodline got in the ring and put up their hands one by one, meaning that we would get the old Bloodline vs. the new Bloodline at WarGames.

Solo Sikoa and the new Bloodline looked on from the entrance ramp as WWE SmackDown went off the air.
