Survivor Series: WarGames will witness the next chapter of The Bloodline saga. The reunited OG Bloodline, led by Roman Reigns, and Solo Sikoa's version of the stable will battle in the famed WarGames Match to settle the differences.
Although plans could change, WWE appears to be booking a five-on-five version of Dusty Rhodes' brainchild. Sikoa and Reigns are one member short, but both teams have begun recruitment.
However, making The Bloodline Civil War at Survivor Series: WarGames a five-on-five affair is a bad idea. Here are three reasons why:

#3. An outsider could dilute the magnitude of The Bloodline Civil War
Sami Zayn approached Seth "Freakin" Rollins on RAW with a proposal to join the OG Bloodline at Survivor Series: WarGames. Although he turned the offer down, Rollins' potential involvement would necessitate Bronson Reed, The Visionary's current rival, to join Solo Sikoa and company.
As amazing as Rollins and Reed are, their inclusion in the WarGames Match would dilute The Bloodline saga and curtail their engaging feud. The Visionary has a storied past with Roman Reigns, but that is a separate storyline in its own right, different from the current civil war.
In contrast, Reed has no relation to The Bloodline saga. His inclusion would be a direct consequence of Rollins teaming up with the babyfaces.
A four-on-four would be ideal, as all eight members are heavily involved in the turmoil within The Anoa'i Family, Sami Zayn included. The reunions fans have witnessed and the drama that has unfolded have only given them more reason to join the war.
#2. Less could be more at Survivor Series: WarGames
Triple H has taken a quality-over-quantity approach during his tenure, and he should adopt a similar strategy with the Men's WarGames Match at Survivor Series.
There is no need for unnecessary meddling by outsiders in The Bloodline Civil War. WWE has much to explore with a plethora of brewing angles. Jey Uso's unresolved conflict with Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso's distrust of Sami Zayn, and the OTC still considering himself the boss are some of these themes.
Jacob Fatu will have a strong showing, but it would be intriguing to witness how the creative team will protect him. Reigns' refusal to apologize could lead to Zayn betraying the group and joining Sikoa.
Therefore, less could be more, as the natural four-on-four dynamic has several intricate layers, which could be explored.
#1. There may not be enough time to add extra members
Suppose WWE was able to book Anoa'i Family members Hikuleo and Lance Anoa'i, who have reportedly recently signed with the company, for Survivor Series: WarGames. With only a handful of weeks, there isn't enough time to build a narrative for their inclusion.
The OG Bloodline reunion has been under construction for more than a month, and there is still plenty of ground to cover. Each member, from Jey Uso wanting revenge to Jacob Fatu's unwavering loyalty, from both teams has sufficient reason to join the civil war.
