A member of The Bloodline has been spotted with a nasty war wound ahead of this Friday's edition of WWE SmackDown. The faction was in action this past Saturday night at WWE Crown Jewel 2024 in Saudi Arabia.

The Bloodline's Jacob Fatu was spotted with a nasty bruise at a WWE Live Event in Nottingham, England. The former MLW star has a bruise on his chest following the faction's victory at Crown Jewel.

WWE UK's official X account shared photos of Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa posing at the event in England. You can check out the photos and the war wound on Fatu's midsection in the post below.

The new version of The Bloodline defeated Roman Reigns and The Usos at Crown Jewel over the weekend. Solo Sikoa hit The Original Tribal Chief with two Samoan Spikes during the match and pinned Reigns to earn the victory for his faction.

Former WWE writer reacts to The Bloodline's victory at Crown Jewel

Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on The Bloodline's impressive victory at Crown Jewel and also disclosed an interesting theory as to why Roman Reigns took the pinfall in the match.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Coach & Bro Show available exclusively on Backstage Pass, Russo wondered if Roman Reigns wanted to get pinned by Solo Sikoa during the match at Crown Jewel. The legend noted that Reigns could believe that the victory over the weekend would help boost the credibility of the faction.

"Is it possible that's what Roman wanted to do? We've been saying all along and I've got heat for this too. We've been saying this all along. The current Bloodline is the B-Team. If that is the feeling, and I promise you that is the feeling within WWE. If that is the feeling, is it that far-fetched for Roman to say, 'Let me put them over'? That may bring them up a level, that may even us out a little bit going into Survivor Series. I would not be surprised if this was Roman's suggestion." [From 19:22 onwards]

Sami Zayn showed up following the six-man tag team match at Crown Jewel and attempted to hit Solo Sikoa with a Helluva Kick. However, his plan backfired and he accidentally caught Roman Reigns with a boot to the face instead. Jey Uso invited Zayn to this Friday's episode of SmackDown to talk about the incident with Roman Reigns during this past Monday's edition of RAW.
