Wrestling’s longest storyline reaches its climax when Roman is forced to reunite with his old bullied stablemates in hopes of becoming tribe leader once again.

How WWE’s next War Games match came about
How each team acquired members
After losing the WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, Roman Reigns disappeared from television. Without a tribal chief to answer, Solo Chicoa appointed himself as such.kicked Jimmy Uso out of Bloodline in favor of slowly rebuilding the group from the ground up. He will bring Guerrilla of Destiny, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa from New Japan Pro Wrestling to the Tag Team Championship, and from the Indies he will bring in the unstoppable Jacob Fatu. When Reigns returned as a babyface after years as a villainous tyrant on the roster, he didn’t find any friends to oppose him in Bloodline 2.0.
Thankfully for Roman, Jimmy Uso will be back at Bad Blood, but still. The 4-2 numbers were not in their favor.. Jimmy tried to convince Roman that he needed to get the band back together, starting with Jey Uso, and rebuild the military. However, having just won the Intercontinental Championship and still having bad blood from his feud with his brother and cousin, “Main Event” Jey Uso does not want to be a part of the Bloodline reunion. Ta. Instead, he tried to convince Solo that dividing the Anoa’i family was not the solution. Defiantly, Solo ended up costing Jay the title on an exciting episode of Monday Night Raw.

Roman Reigns’ best WWE matches, ranking
Roman Reigns has been the face of WWE for 10 years in a row, and has provided some quality and memorable matches over that decade.
With Solo Bloodline throwing the first stone, Jay was set to return the favor by embarking on Friday Night SmackDown to take the tag titles to the Tongans in a match against the Motor City Machine Guns. That same night, Jey and Jimmy reconcile and reunite The Usos. Jay agreed to reunite Bloodline for a six-man team at Crown Jewel, on the condition that everyone would be treated equally this time. Sami Zayn, another former Pedigree ace, was understandably skeptical of his friend Jey’s trust in Roman and alerted his brother to his concerns. Suspiciously, Solo was seen trying to recruit Zayn in the Raw parking lot.
Zayn had a hard time trusting Jimmy and Roman (and vice versa), but his friendship with Jey Uso made Zayn persevere, and he came on as an entourage at Crown Jewel (even when he accidentally kicked Reigns in the face). Yes). The former Big Dog didn’t feel good enough for Sami Zayn to trust or like him. But for Wargames, who share a common enemy in Solo Chicore, it’s a public challenge; I noticed that the original Bloodline had everyone throwing up together. To wrap up last week’s Friday Night Smackdown.
WWE teases numerous candidates for fifth member of both teams
Exciting guessing game for fans
Monday Night Raw a few days later, Both teams began actively recruiting to find a fifth member for the wargames.. Heading into Raw, fans are speculating as to who could join these teams. Given his ominous warning to end bad blood, many doubted The Rock will be participating in Bloodlines 2.0. Speaking of Bad Blood, The Rock’s perfect opponent might have been Cody Rhodes, given their mysterious and eerie final showdown on Raw after WrestleMania.
Another exciting option could be for CM Punk to make a surprise return to join Roman’s Bloodline team, which could ensure Drew McIntyre returns to solo Bloodline There is. After all, Drew’s latest character arc goes from lamenting the arrival of Jey Uso on Raw and how everyone seems to have forgotten the abuse that Roman and The Bloodline inflicted on the roster. It has begun. An alliance with Solo would then make sense. Bron Breaker is another option for Team Roman considering his standoff with Jacob Fatu on Raw.
One name that no one expected to be heralded as a possible War Games on Raw last week was Seth Rollins. Sami Zayn made the offer to the visionary during a backstage segment, and naturally… Rollins is disgusted by the idea. About teaming up with a former S.H.I.E.L.D comrade whom he has hated for the past ten years. This wasn’t the end of WWE hinting at Rollins’ possible involvement in War Games, as Rollins was approached in the parking lot with an offer from Solo Sicore. Rollins says he doesn’t like Roman but will never team up with him. ”I want to be Roman Reigns.”
Spoilers for WWE Monday Night Raw taped next week have big implications for WarGames
Were the fifth men selected?
WWE taped next week’s November 18th episode of Monday Night Raw after the show went off the air last Monday. As a result, spoilers are already circulating on the Internet and the footage islol This episode may have revealed who the 5th member of each team will be.: Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed. Rollins and Reed have had an explosive rivalry ever since the latter injured the former in a violent attack after this year’s SummerSlam PLE. The Architect returned, costing Reed a Last Monster Standing match against Braun Strowman.
Rollins defeated Reed at Crown Jewel and a rematch is scheduled for next week’s Raw. Solo seemed to take the “Roman Reigns wannabe” comment personally, and Rollins was eliminated from the match. Interestingly, he raised Bronson Reed’s hand after the match. What’s even more interesting is that Sami Zayn and the Usos come down the ramp to make the save as Bloodline 2.0 surrounds the ring and Rollins stands alone. Although neither player was clearly announced as the fifth player for each team, It should be obvious that Bronson and Seth are actually those people..
Not all fans are willing to read WWE Raw spoilers
Some fans think Wargames’ Fifth Man choices feel forced
It’s worth noting that WWE never explicitly announced Reed and Rollins as their respective options, so these choices could easily be reversed before the next live show. The chances may seem slim, but at first glancet Fan reaction on social media after reading the spoiler could convince WWE to change its mind. Fans who enjoyed the Bronson Reed vs. Seth Rollins match said their insertion into the Bloodline storyline felt forced, and perhaps even rushed even though Survivor Series is only a little over two weeks away. I am.
Many fans seem to believe that Bloodlines vs. Bloodlines should have remained 4v4 in Wargames. The 4v4 precedent was already set in 2018’s NXT Wargames, so it wouldn’t seem unusual to do it again. Forcing 5-on-5 may have caused more problems than solutions. The biggest criticism is Seth Rollins’ participation. Seven months ago, Rollins tore himself apart on back-to-back WrestleMania nights to dismantle Roman’s bloodline, resulting in him losing the World Heavyweight Championship. The choice to join Roman in trying to regain power makes no sense at all. Although the fan reaction was negative, WWE We may still find a way to salvage this storyline before November 30th.
