As a longtime WWE fan with a heart full of nostalgia for the Bloodline days, I found tonight’s SmackDown to be a rollercoaster ride of emotions. The reunion of Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso was a sight for sore eyes, but the unexpected entry of Sami Zayn added an intriguing twist to the mix.
At WWE’s Crown Jewel event, Roman Reigns and The Bloodline (consisting of Jimmy and Jey Uso) experienced a significant setback as they lost to Solo Sikoa’s new Bloodline. In the match, Reigns was pinned by Sikoa right in the center of the ring. Tonight on SmackDown, Reigns and the Usos entered the ring to discuss the defeat, with Jey Uso joining them. Sami Zayn then joined the conversation, and all four stood together to resolve their issues. Zayn suggested a potential reunion to face Sikoa, but his request for an apology from Reigns to Jey Uso caused tension. This tension led to Jacob Fatu stating that any confrontation with Reigns would only happen if Solo wanted it. As a result, fans hoping for a showdown between Reigns and the new Bloodline got what they were anticipating.
A Misunderstanding
After Jey reached the stage, it was time for him to present someone else. Jey then said, “I believe there’s a lot of confusion happening right now, Uce, and if you could just give them a chance to speak and listen to their words, that would be great.” At this moment, Sami Zayn’s theme song played, and he made his way to the stage, much to Reigns’ annoyance. Zayn began by addressing the incident at Crown Jewel first.
In addressing the incident at Crown Jewel, let me clarify that the kick to your face wasn’t intentional. However, I want you to understand something – the reason I attended Crown Jewel was primarily because of Jey. Initially, I thought about all the things I would say and do if we were in the ring together again, but the truth is, during those brief moments when it was the four of us at Crown Jewel, there was a certain magic.
“It took me back to a very special time in my career, a special time in my life, a special time with family. And here’s the thing, I’m not gonna lie, even though there’s been a lot here, there’s a part of you that has a soft spot for the time with the four of us in the Bloodline. And here’s the thing, I know Jey felt it in the ring, I know I felt it, and I know you on some level felt it too,” Zayn said.

You know what makes me certain? It’s because you’re here with us in this moment. The reason we’re all gathered here, the reason he’s here, the reason Jey’s here, and the reason you’re tuned in now, is because you yearn for everything that’s happening right now. Roman, people often believe that the opposite of love is hate, but it isn’t. The true opposite of love is apathy, and I don’t believe you feel indifferent towards me. Instead, I think you harbor affection for me.” Zayn expressed.
“You’re smirking, I see it, it’s still there! It’s right there. You remember the old days just like everybody else. And it could be like that, it could be all of us partying in the SUV, and me and Jimmy doing the handshake, and you being all jacked and cool, we could run all of that back. You know what I’m going to do Roman, I’m going to put the ball in your court. You want me to walk away and never be a part of Bloodline business again, I’ll do it. But I don’t think that’s what you want. I think you want the Usos , Sami Zayn, and Roman Reigns fighting together again side by side! And if that’s what you want, I’ll do it. I just need you to do one thing for me…apologize,” Zayn said.
An Apology
Reigns scoffed at that and looked at Jimy and Jey and scoffed more. The crowd then chanted hug it out, and Reigns said “let me get this straight, you want me to apologize to you?” Zayn then surprised him by saying, “No, the apology’s not for me. I want you to apologize to Jey.”
Reigns bristled at that but then walked closer to Jey, and Jey was on his guard. Reigns then said, “I’m sorry” to the crowd’s ovation. Reigns then said “I’m sorry that I ever let you waste my time with this. He’s not in our family. He’s not our blood. He’s not honorary. Stop wasting my time. It’s not about him, it’s about Solo! Bring your a** to the ring right now and let’s handle business.”
Afterward, Jacob Fatu made an appearance on the screen, speaking to Roman Reigns, “Roman Reigns, I’ve managed to grab your attention. It’s been a while since you held the position of Tribal Chief. When you give the command, Solo doesn’t leap; he doesn’t respond when told to move. And Solo will emerge when he sees fit. Eventually, you’ll admit this.” Reigns showed signs of annoyance, and Zayn returned backstage as Jey and Jimmy looked dejected at how things unfolded. It seems unlikely that the reunion will take place tonight.
