Real-life Bloodline member reacts to major WWE SmackDown segment

Afa Anoa'i Jr. recently shared his thoughts on the promo between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes last Friday night on SmackDown.

Rhodes and Reigns met at Georgia Tech during last week's edition of the blue brand to discuss their upcoming Tag Team Match against The Bloodline's Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa at Bad Blood on October 5. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Anoa'i Jr. noted that the segment reminded him of when he and Reigns were both football players.

"Once upon a time back when we were in high school and college, myself and Roman Reigns were both Division One football players. I was a US Army All-American. I chose to play ball [at] University of Connecticut, Roman went to Georgia Tech. Our freshman year, 2004, Yukon played at Georgia Tech. So it was Anoa'i vs. Anoa'i back in 2004 in that stadium. That just got put back on the map because of the promo," he said.

Bayley is set to square off against Naomi tonight on SmackDown, with the winner earning a WWE Women's Championship match against Nia Jax at Bad Blood. The Role Model sent a message to Naomi earlier today ahead of their bout on the blue brand.
