The WWE feud between The Bloodline and the 946 can only end in one way, and there’s surely going to be an explosive finale.

Royce Keys, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price have got it in for The Bloodline, with 946 setting their foe’s car on fire in the most vicious warning shot to date.

Jey Uso would call for no more infighting in The Bloodline, attempting to repair the schism that has been forming between himself and Jacob Fatu, in order to tackle the 946 problem.

This week’s episode of WWE Raw saw further threats from 946, who were apparently not in Mexico. Nima and Price would be more forthright in their words, while Keys played on the issues in The Bloodline, saying:

“Paranoia’s a bitch, right, Jacob?

“You know what it’s like in the 946? It goes one, by one, by one.”

Keys would also take a shot at Roman Reigns, who would retain the World Heavyweight Championship against Penta, igniting his lighter and saying:

“Good luck, Roman.”

The lighter, the fire, the calculated attacks, it could all be building up to an explosive conclusion to the feud:

Jacob Fatu

The August 3 episode of WWE Raw saw Jacob Fatu defeat Royce Keys in a Street Fight, with the ref calling for the bell after the Tongan Death Grip proved unbreakable.

Fatu would continue to attack Keys post-match, returning the beatdown after Roman Reigns gave him approval.

It’s something that Keys has definitely not forgotten, nor is he oblivious to the issues with The Bloodline when it comes to Fatu. Played properly, The Samoan Werewolf could be the last one to fall before 946 reaches Reigns.

Jey Uso

Jey Uso and Jacob Fatu have issues, particularly since The Samoan Werewolf only takes orders from Roman Reigns.

If Uso and Fatu can’t get on the same page, there’s a weakness open to exploitation from 946, particularly when it comes to Jey wanting to carry the authority of The Bloodline.

Seeing Jey Uso attempting to stamp his authority and fail thanks to what would be perceived as his own hubris could very well be the unmaking of the star in The Bloodline and force Jacob Fatu to choose a new path.

Survivor Series: WarGames

Let’s not rush to the finale, despite the possibility of Roman Reigns vs Royce Keys down the line. Let’s build to it via Survivor Series: WarGames on November 28.

Roman Reigns is already featured on the poster for the event at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas. It’s not yet confirmed what part he will play in proceedings, also was in the men’s WarGames match, teaming with The Usos, Cody Rhodes & CM Punk in a losing effort to The Vision (Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed), Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre & Brock Lesnar.

Should Reigns return to the steel structure this year, The Usos and Jacob Fatu would make up a team of four, with one more name need. Standing across from The Bloodline would be a team of three in 946, with two names required to get to five.

If there was a moment for Fatu to take out his frustrations on Jey Uso, it would be in the WarGames cage.

Roman Reigns

The collision course between Roman Reigns and Royce Keys would be a natural way to end the feud, particularly while The OTC holds the World Heavyweight Championship. That said, it’s a feud that should be a slow burn, taking us well into the back of this year, and potentially into 2027.

Reigns heads to Money in the Bank to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight following last night’s episode of WWE Raw. There’s every chance that the match won’t end with a satisfying conclusion for either man if 946 become involved.

However Keys versus Reigns materializes, it has to be high stakes. An Inferno Match is rarely used in WWE these days, being most closely associated with Kane. That said, Bray Wyatt faced Randy Orton in a ‘Firefly Inferno’ match at TLC in 2020. Perhaps it’s time to bring the stipulation back, given The 946 and their obsession with fire.

Break The Bloodline, Build The Future

Roman Reigns has indicated he is “almost there” when it comes to his retirement, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if there were plans for a high-profile exit for the star when the time comes.

In the meantime, perhaps the future of The Bloodline is coming to an end, and 946 can be instrumental in that moment. Forcing the surviving members of the faction to scatter as a result of however the feud ends, 946 would enter an age of infamy for doing the unthinkable.
