3 Last-minute predictions for 5th member of the OG Bloodline before SmackDown this week

The upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown promises to be a thrilling addition to Friday nights. Fans have been eager to see how the narrative unfolds as the Bloodline saga continues to develop.

One of the biggest storylines heading into the show is that the OG Bloodline is still missing its fifth member. In this article, we will make three last-minute predictions regarding who could join Roman Reigns' faction on this week's SmackDown.

#3. Braun Strowman might be a surprise addition

Braun Strowman made his WWE return after SmackDown went off-air last week, where he aided Rey Mysterio and received a huge reaction from the crowd. While Braun and Roman Reigns certainly don’t share a friendly past, The Monster Among Men could still decide to become the fifth member of the OG Bloodline.

The reason for this potential alliance could be Bronson Reed. Strowman and Reed were recently engaged in a feud on Monday Night RAW, which was a true clash of titans.

Now, with Reed asserting his dominance against the OG Bloodline, Braun might join Roman Reigns’ side to prove why he is still regarded as the real monster.

#2. Apollo Crews might arise as a secret ally of Roman Reigns

During Roman Reigns’ tenure as a villainous star, he was once involved in a backstage segment with a heel Apollo Crews on SmackDown. In this segment, Reigns appeared to be offering advice to Crews, sparking curiosity among fans about Apollo’s potential inclusion in the Bloodline saga.

However, that never materialized, and the 37-year-old star was never again seen interacting with Reigns in a similar capacity.

Now, with no one seemingly ready to join, the Original Tribal Chief could surprise fans by bringing in Apollo Crews as his secret ally, declaring him the fifth member of the OG Bloodline for WarGames.

#1. The OG Bloodline might approach Nick Aldis on SmackDown

Nick Aldis' in-ring return was already teased by the Stamford-based promotion on last week’s SmackDown. With the OG Bloodline unable to find anyone to join their side, they might turn to Nick Aldis and request him to make his comeback to the squared circle.

In the past, we’ve seen heated segments between the SD General Manager and the Original Tribal Chief. However, with Reigns now embracing a more heroic character, Aldis might agree to join them for the WarGames Match.

An in-ring return as part of the Bloodline saga could be the perfect way to reintroduce Nick Aldis to competition.
