Roman Reigns’ OG Bloodline is still searching for its fifth member ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. Tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown is expected to bring further developments in the storyline, as the faction may finally reveal its final member.
Among the speculation, there is a growing belief that the OTC could unveil Apollo Crew as a secret ally from three years ago as the fifth member of the OG Bloodline. Roman Reigns and Crews shared a backstage segment on SmackDown back in 2021, where Reigns appeared to offer guidance to the Nigerian Prince.
This interaction occurred during a time when both stars were playing villainous roles. Despite the segment gaining traction among fans, WWE never followed up with an angle or storyline involving the two. However, the Survivor Series presents an excellent opportunity for WWE to revisit and capitalize on this moment by reintroducing Apollo Crews as Reigns’ secret ally.
In this scenario, the OTC could bring the 37-year-old star back to the blue brand and officially reveal him as the fifth member of the OG Bloodline. Including Apollo Crews in this storyline makes sense, not only because of their shared history but also as a way to elevate Crews’ standing in the Stamford-based promotion.
Additionally, Crews is already listed as a SmackDown superstar and has been competing in off-air matches on the brand in recent weeks. Bringing him back to television as part of the Bloodline saga would be an intriguing way to reestablish his presence.
Overall, it will be fascinating to see how the storyline unfolds on tonight’s SmackDown also whether Roman Reigns finally secures his fifth member or not.
During last week's episode of SmackDown, Roman Reigns attempted to call Paul Heyman, seeking assistance after being ambushed by the new Bloodline and Bronson Reed. However, to the Original Tribal Chief’s shock, the Wise Man’s number was out of service.
In tonight's episode, Roman Reigns might once again try to contact his Special Counsel, likely concerned about why Heyman’s number was unreachable. It’s also possible that the OTC could order Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Sami Zayn to investigate and gather information about Heyman’s whereabouts.
Furthermore, there is also a belief that Paul Heyman might return to television soon. If he doesn’t make his return tonight, more seeds could be planted to build anticipation for his comeback.
Overall, tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown promises to be an intriguing watch, particularly with further developments in the Bloodline saga.
