The Bloodline, led by Roman Reigns, has seen a significant addition this year with The Rock joining forces with his cousin Roman Reigns, solidifying their bond within the family.
However, this week’s episode of SmackDown promises an intriguing development.
Paul Heyman has hinted that if Cody Rhodes arrives alone, Roman Reigns will also confront him solo, setting the stage for a direct conversation between the two without any external interference.
Despite The Bloodline’s dominance, doubts linger about their trustworthiness, especially with Rhodes opting to face them alone on the blue brand.
This decision opens up the possibility of a surprising twist, especially considering recent hints suggesting the arrival of a new member to The Bloodline.
Let’s delve into four compelling signs pointing towards this possibility:
Deja Vu
Reflecting on past events, Roman Reigns has a history of seemingly standing alone before unexpected allies, like Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn, emerged to reinforce The Bloodline.
A year ago today Roman and Drew put on one of the best matches of the year at clash at the castle and Solo Sikoa debut helping Roman retain what a year it has been for him Roman and Paul elevated him to the next level and he has main evented PPVs since then he’s the future pic.twitter.com/ozy8uXpy7n

This situation echoes a similar scenario during Clash at the Castle 2022, where Reigns’ apparent isolation was shattered by the debut of Solo Sikoa.
Such deja vu moments hint at a potential repeat, with someone unexpected emerging to confront Rhodes.
Jey Uso’s Revelation
Jey Uso’s recent interview on The Battleground podcast hinted at The Bloodline’s intentions to expand further.
With potential challenges looming, including the threat of being barred from ringside at WrestleMania XI, Jey’s words underscore the necessity for additional allies.
This sets the stage for potential new recruits to strengthen The Bloodline’s position.
The Rock’s Warning
The ongoing feud between The Rock and Cody Rhodes, fueled by Rhodes’ perceived betrayal, adds another layer of intrigue.
The Rock’s accusation of Rhodes reneging on his promises sets a precedent for Roman Reigns to reciprocate, potentially by disregarding Heyman’s assurance of a one-on-one confrontation. This opens the door for unexpected reinforcements to emerge during the confrontation.

Teasing from Rikishi and Lance Anoa’i
Social media activity from Lance Anoa’i, coupled with endorsements from Rikishi, suggests a possible alliance with The Bloodline.
Anoa’i’s recent tweet showcasing his peak physical condition, along with Rikishi’s endorsement, fuels speculation about his potential inclusion.
With Jey Uso’s departure, Anoa’i emerges as a suitable candidate to fill the void within The Bloodline.
As anticipation mounts for the upcoming showdown on SmackDown, the prospect of new Bloodline members adds an intriguing dimension to the ongoing saga.
Will Cody Rhodes face unexpected adversaries, or will The Bloodline stand alone against their adversaries? Only time will reveal the answers as the drama unfolds in the world of WWE.
