Real Reason WWE Changed Bloodline Creative Plans For Raw 30

WWE

The real reason why WWE changed creative plans for the Bloodline on the 30th Anniversary edition of Raw has been revealed.

It was previously announced that there would be a acknowledgement ceremony on the January 23 special featuring names from various generations of the Bloodline.

Following the January 20 edition of SmackDown, the segment was changed, with the Bloodline now set to hold Tribal Court for Sami Zayn, amid rumors that the stable will turn on the Honorary Uce.

While it had previously been speculated that the change was made because the Rock wasn’t available, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer now reports that the Rock was never booked for the segment.

Meltzer noted that the segment was altered due to Afa, Sika and Rikishi’s availability, noting:

“Regarding the questions on the changing of the Bloodline segment from an Acknowledgment ceremony with the family of Roman Reigns to the trial of Sami Zayn, rumors regarding this had to do with The Rock pulling out or Vince McMahon changing things are both false.

“Rock was never booked for the segment. The change was made because Afa & Sika & Rikishi were all not going to be able to be there.

“They were to be the key people but Afa & Sika were not ready for the trip and Rikishi got sick this week so the idea basically fell apart.

“Creative was changed with The Bloodline story on Friday to reflect the change in Raw, a what happened was not what was originally scripted to happen.”

It was recently reported that those in WWE have been of the belief that The Rock won’t be wrestling at WrestleMania 39 for ‘months’.
