SmackDown’s season premiere didn’t disappoint as fans got their money’s worth with the return of The Tribal Chief to SmackDown. The last time Reigns was seen on SmackDown was almost 2 months ago on 18th August. Reigns immediately sprung into action to settle the problems in The Bloodline by first confronting John Cena and then LA Knight.
He then instructed Jimmy Uso to get back something that was rightfully The Bloodlines.
