As WWE SmackDown gears up for the penultimate episode before Survivor Series: WarGames 2024, there are several exciting developments to keep an eye on, especially surrounding the conflict between the Original Bloodline and The Bloodline 2.0. Here’s what might unfold tonight:
4. Paul Heyman Could Bring CM Punk to Help the OG Bloodline
After a mysterious phone call last week where Roman Reigns couldn’t reach Paul Heyman, tonight could be the night that The Wiseman returns—possibly bringing with him a game-changing ally in CM Punk. Heyman has previously sought assistance from Punk during a critical moment at Clash at the Castle 2024, and with the tensions escalating, Punk could join forces with Roman Reigns, despite their past differences. This addition would bring even more intrigue to the storyline, especially given the heat between Punk and Seth Rollins. Punk’s involvement could potentially escalate the ongoing rivalry between Rollins and the OG Bloodline, creating a massive spectacle at Survivor Series.
3. Hikuleo Could Join The Bloodline 2.0
The recent friction between the Original Bloodline and The Bloodline 2.0 escalated with Bronson Reed joining Solo Sikoa and company last week. Tonight, another explosive encounter could see The OG Bloodline aiming for retribution, but this time with a potential twist—The Bloodline 2.0 could recruit Hikuleo, the son of Haku and brother to Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa. If Hikuleo joins forces with the 2.0 faction, it could give them a numerical advantage, intensifying the war between the two factions. This would solidify The Bloodline 2.0 as a dangerous and dominant force.
2. Seth Rollins May Finally Help the OG Bloodline
Seth Rollins’ ongoing feud with Bronson Reed has kept him on a separate path from the Bloodline, but after Solo Sikoa interfered in Rollins’ match with Reed this past Monday on RAW, it’s possible Rollins might reconsider his stance. With tensions building, Rollins could step in to aid the Original Bloodline, potentially setting up a monumental partnership between him and Roman Reigns at Survivor Series, harking back to their time in The Shield. A reunion of sorts, especially at the event where they debuted, would be a major moment for WWE.
1. The Bloodline 2.0 Could Reveal They Abducted Paul Heyman
In a shocking development, The Bloodline 2.0 could reveal that they’ve taken Paul Heyman, further fueling the personal animosity between the two factions. Heyman’s last appearance on SmackDown was in June, where he was attacked by Solo Sikoa and others after rejecting Sikoa as the new Tribal Chief. If The Bloodline 2.0 claims responsibility for Heyman’s abduction, it would raise the stakes for Survivor Series: WarGames, making the conflict between the two factions even more intense and personal.
With these potential surprises, tonight’s SmackDown promises to be a crucial moment in the build-up to Survivor Series: WarGames. The blood feud between The Bloodline factions is only heating up, and fans will be eagerly watching to see who will claim the upper hand as the event draws closer.
