On Instagram, Reigns confirmed his withdrawal from the 2024 Draft, as he reposted the announcement made by Paul Heyman during the show. Heyman confirmed that Reigns wasn’t eligible to be drafted this year. Later on in the show, The Bloodline was drafted to SmackDown, except for Reigns and The Rock.

With Roman Reigns taking time off from TV, The Bloodline has undergone major changes under the guidance of Solo Sikoa. The Enforcer recently introduced a brand new member in Tama Tonga, who replaced Jimmy Uso in the faction. Following Jimmy’s loss to Jey Uso at WrestleMania XL, he was booted out of the faction.
The Bloodline has once again reignited its feud with Kevin Owens, who mocked the faction on SmackDown. On this week’s show, Randy Orton came to the former Universal Champion’s aid during a brawl against Sikoa and Tonga.
