On WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns once again took the fight to The Bloodline. Following the show, Jackie Redmond sent a message to The OTC on X (formerly Twitter).
In the opening bout of SmackDown, Cody Rhodes successfully retained his Undisputed WWE Championship against Solo Sikoa in a Steel Cage Match. Following the match, The Bloodline ambushed The American Nightmare before his long-term rival came to his aid.
In the aftermath of SmackDown, Redmond acknowledged Roman Reigns as The Original Tribal Chief.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
"And we ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, the OTC!" wrote Redmond.
During Reigns' brawl with The Bloodline, he took the fight to Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa before shifting his focus to Jacob Fatu. The former Undisputed WWE Champion had a brief staredown with The Samoan Werewolf, who was then dragged outside the ring by Sikoa.
Sam Roberts believes Roman Reigns could form a super team with his former rivals
At the WWE Bad Blood Premium Live Event, Roman Reigns will join forces with Cody Rhodes for a tag team match against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
Speaking on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts suggested the idea of Reigns forming a super team with the likes of Rhodes, LA Knight, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton. He said:
"I think instead, because at one point it was like, and part of the theme of The Bloodline Rules WrestleMania 40 match was that The Bloodline is paying the cost for everybody that they have crossed over the years. I think that there may be a higher probability that a team of super babyfaces is the team that takes on The Bloodline in WarGames at Survivor Series. Kevin Owens still has unfinished beef with The Bloodline, and Randy Orton still has unfinished beef with The Bloodline. Cody Rhodes, obviously, unfinished beef with The Bloodline. It goes on and on, LA Knight, who knows?"
During the closing segment of SmackDown, Reigns and Rhodes signed the contract for Bad Blood, making the huge tag team match official.
