Rikishi talks about his special bond with Jacob Fatu while addressing the fifth member of The Bloodline at WWE Survivor Series: War Games. “He knows Jacob well.”

As Survivor Series 2024 approaches, the stakes are higher than ever for The Bloodline, with a massive WarGames match looming on the horizon. Roman Reigns and his faction, which includes The Usos, Sami Zayn, and a still-unannounced fifth member, will face off against Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu, and Bronson Reed. The addition of Reed as the fifth member has been a point of intrigue, and it seems that his involvement could be more than just a temporary measure.

Solo Sikoa had initially approached Seth Rollins to join his team, but the latter refused, which led to Roman Reigns introducing Bronson Reed as the new addition. This has stirred up speculation about Reed’s future with The Bloodline.

Rikishi, a WWE Hall of Famer and the patriarch of the Anoa’i family, recently spoke about Reed’s involvement with The Bloodline. He shared that Reed’s addition makes sense due to his background in the independent circuit, where he has a relationship with Jacob Fatu. According to Rikishi, Reed’s physical attributes—his agility for a big man and his overall athleticism—make him a good fit for the faction. This adds a personal and professional layer to Reed’s potential future in The Bloodline, as he is already familiar with several of its members from their time in the independent circuit.

Beyond Survivor Series, there are rumors that Bronson Reed will be joining The Bloodline for the long term. Sources like WrestleVotes have reported that Reed has been throwing up the “one” gesture, signaling his inclusion in the faction as a permanent member. With The Bloodline gaining a new powerhouse in Reed, it will be interesting to see how the faction evolves after Survivor Series and how Reed’s presence changes the dynamic within the group.

If Reed does indeed become a permanent member, the direction of The Bloodline could take a more intense, physically dominant turn, with Reed’s unique combination of power and agility adding a new dimension to the faction’s already formidable presence. Fans will likely see more drama unfold between The Bloodline and its enemies, with Reed playing a key role in shaping the group’s future.
