Following Saturday night’s Royal Rumble 2023, within a slew of questions, one seems to be more prominent amongst the rest- What is next for Roman Reigns and the Bloodline?
PREDICTION TIME- Here’s what I think is next for the group:
Nia Jax joins The Bloodline:
In a shocking turn of events, Nia Jax made a surprise return to the ring after being released by the company back in 2021. Jax made her triumphant return entering the women’s rumble at number 30, and while she didn’t last very long, her elimination proved to be the toughest as she was sent over the top rope with the force of 11 women superstars.
Nia Jax is related to almost everyone in The Bloodline. Nia and The Rock are in fact cousins, which makes Roman Reigns, Jimmy, and Jey Us her extended family. Considering all of this, there is room for speculation that ‘The Irresistible Force’ may make Rhea Ripley a major target with the help of her cousins. This will also open up the opportunity for a mixed gender match between Rhea, Jax and the rest of the Bloodline at this year’s Wrestlemania.
The Rock Comes Back To Fight Roman Reigns At Wrestlemania:
Rumors have been circulating for weeks that The Rock would be making his in-ring return at Royal Rumble this year, but to WWE fanatics everywhere it unfortunately did not happen- but this may be to our benefit. At the end of Saturday night’s main event, the assault that took place on Kevin Owens by Reigns, followed by Sami Zayn’s crowd pop worthy flip on The Head of the Table, followed by Jey Uso’s dramatic “I’m Out” exit from the ring because of Reigns brutal retaliation against Zayn- it is without a doubt that Reigns is off the deep end when it comes to being drunk with power.
With all things considered, on a Raw OR Smackdown leading up to Wrestlemania this year, we could see The Rock showing up alongside Sami Zayn and Jey Uso calling out Reigns and his behavior following the Rumble. When Roman tries to retaliate against The Rock (seeing him as a threat in some ways) it opens up a civil war of a storyline for The Bloodline, which will lead to one of the sickest Wrestlemania main event matches we could ask for- Roman Reigns vs. The Rock.
In The Rock’s corner: Jey Uso, Sami Zayn.
In Reign’s corner: Nia Jax, Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso.
Jimmy & Jey Uso Flip On Each Other and Have A Solo Match
In the midst of the chaos and drama, Jimmy & Jey Uso go head to head in a solo match leading up to Wrestlemania to build the hype surrounding The Rock vs. Reigns.
While this is all speculation and prediction, it certainly could hold up as a solid storyline for the future of WWE’s most prominent and dominant group to date.
