On tonight’s WWE Raw show, World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn met in the ring to kick off the show.

While the two men are set to face off at WWE Crown Jewel, Reigns had other things on his mind tonight, that being the recent chaos caused by the 946.

With the addition of Carmelo Hayes to the group last week, the group will only be more of a threat now as things begin to look bleak for the Bloodline.

Sami Zayn rejects the call

After the two men reconnected to kick off tonight’s show, Reigns asked Sami if he was here to fight for the Bloodline or fight for the 946.

While Sami was happy to see Reigns, things ended up escalating between the two, with Roman and Sami not seeing eye to eye.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond asked Reigns how he planned to combat the threat of everyone gunning for him, that being the 946, Sami Zayn and also Mr. Money In The Bank Penta.

Reigns said that he’s trying to, but with Sami rejecting him, it was time to ‘go back to the drawing board’.

Bloodline member to turn on the family?

Reigns going back to the drawing board implies that he is going to be looking at outside help to combat the 946.

There are currently 5 members of the Bloodline including Solo Sikoa, and only 4 members of the 946, so if an outsider is set to join Reigns’ fight, a current family member will have to stab him in the back.

The two obvious choices for that spot are Jacob Fatu, who hasn’t been seen since he was run over by Jaida Parker, and Solo Sikoa, who recently agreed to put his differences aside with the family after being kidnapped by the 946.

However, Solo Sikoa is currently the most over he’s been during his main roster run as a babyface, so turning him heel would be a shortsighted move, as would having Jacob leave to reunite with Royce Keys after literally being run over by the group.

It’s unlikely one Uso would turn, but if one does end up doing so, it would most likely be Jey, given his connections to the group and Jaida Parker.

Who can Roman Reigns call upon?

WWE's Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns

Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns wrapped up their 14 year story in WWE at SummerSlam 2026.

That then begs the question: if Reigns DOES need to call an outsider, who will be the one to answer?

The obvious choice would be LA Knight, but given his years long issues with the Bloodline, it’s hard to imagine him joining the group, even to combat the 946.

That leaves one other man who also has a lot of history with Reigns, that being Seth Rollins, who ended his 12 year story with Roman at SummerSlam in August.

Seth Rollins hasn’t been seen since, and his big return being to HELP Roman Reigns against the 946 would be one hell of a moment.
