However, this was not where the show ended, as the three got into a verbal disagreement. This mirrored the start of the show, where the three argued about who would face Reigns first. The argument led to the three fighting each other, with Styles trying to take on both men at the same time. As the brawl continued, The Bloodline stood and watched a preview of what was to come at SmackDown New Year’s Revolution, when these three will compete in a Triple Threat match to determine the next challenger for Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble.
