Roman Reigns’ Fate Announced Ahead of WWE Draft on SmackDown

The WWE Draft 2024 stood set to shake things up. The annual trade of superstars between the brands often sees some massive changes in narratives and storylines. Many factions and groups are broken due to this, while newer ones are formed. And as fans expected Roman Reigns and The Bloodline to see some changes, Paul Heyman made a big announcement regarding that.

Fans expected The Bloodline to face issues with members being traded between the brands. Concerns were also raised about Reigns, who has not been seen since WrestleMania XL.

Paul Heyman announces Roman Reigns not to be part of the WWE Draft 2024

As the show started, we saw both general managers for WWE RAW and SmackDown debating who to pick for which brand. Backstage, we got an interview with Heyman, the Wise Man to The Tribal Chief. He announced that Reigns voluntarily withdrew his name from the Draft. This means that he will not be among the stars who get traded and will continue on SmackDown.

While fans were excited about this announcement on social media, they were worried about The Bloodline. With Tama Tonga being added and the possibility for more to join, fans were hyped for the upcoming feud once Reigns returns. However, fans were able to breathe a sigh of relief once it was announced that The Bloodline was remaining on the Blue Brand. Not only that, but their main target, Cody Rhodes, would also be on SmackDown. So, what does this mean moving forward? Will the new Bloodline be after Rhodes? And what about Reigns?

How the WWE could make the Reigns vs The Bloodline feud

Right now, the new Bloodline features Sikoa, Tonga, and a soon debuting Jacob Fatu. There are speculations that Fatu’s brother Zilla might also be joining. The Fatus will be The Uso, while Tonga is the enforcer. With Sikoa the new Tribal Chief, the new Bloodline is complete.

When Reigns returns, he could see teaming up with The Usos and Rhodes to take on this new threat. While nothing is clear nor confined by the WWE, the WWE Universe has reached this storyline narrative unanimously. The Rock is also said to be part of this new Bloodline, with many believing he is the mastermind behind this. Everything will be made clear once he returns from Hollywood, which is said to be around SummerSlam this year. What did you think of the WWE Draft? Tell us your thoughts down below.
