Roman Reigns found himself in an unexpected situation on WWE SmackDown, and it’s safe to say he wasn’t pleased with how things unfolded.
In a highly anticipated confrontation with Cody Rhodes ahead of their WrestleMania showdown, Reigns had plans that didn’t quite go as expected.
Initially set for a one-on-one moment, Reigns had a surprise in store, bringing out The Bloodline as backup during the confrontation with Rhodes. However, Rhodes was prepared, countering with his own reinforcements in the form of Jey Uso and Seth Rollins emerging from the crowd.
The tense standoff between Reigns and his former ally, Jey Uso, hinted at underlying tensions within The Bloodline. Ultimately, restraint prevailed, with The Bloodline choosing to withdraw rather than engage in a skirmish with the trio of Rhodes, Uso, and Rollins.
A behind-the-scenes peek provided by WWE captured the aftermath, revealing a visibly discontented Reigns alongside his solemn associates.
The intensity of The Tribal Chief’s demeanor underscored the gravity of the situation, reflecting the unresolved conflicts simmering within The Bloodline.
Looking ahead to WrestleMania, Reigns holds the key to his destiny, with a high-stakes match alongside The Rock on the agenda for the first night.
Victory against Rhodes and Rollins would secure a crucial advantage for Reigns, setting the stage for a potentially decisive showdown the following night.
Should Reigns and The Rock emerge victorious, the stipulation of “Bloodline Rules” would come into play for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match.
This strategic advantage could pave the way for unforeseen twists, potentially involving Solo Sikoa or even The Rock himself, to thwart Rhodes’ aspirations once more.
As tensions escalate and alliances are tested, the stage is set for a high-octane clash at WrestleMania, where the fate of the championship hangs in the balance amidst the intricate dynamics of The Bloodline.
