The landscapes of RAW and SmackDown have undergone drastic changes as storylines progress toward Crown Jewel 2024. One of the central storylines for both brands is the Bloodline saga.
Now, the family drama has extended beyond the blue brand, with Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa's faction appearing on the recent episode of RAW. With these recent developments, it’s also possible that Sami Zayn may have quietly left RAW to join the new Bloodline on Friday Night SmackDown.
Sami Zayn was engaged in a secret conversation with Solo Sikoa
Jimmy Uso noticed a secret discussion between Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn as he left the venue. Earlier, the former Bloodline member had confronted Jimmy backstage, urging him to be cautious about rejoining the family drama.

When Jimmy saw Sami and Solo talking, he reminded Jey that no one outside the family can truly be trusted, as Jey has placed significant trust in Zayn.
This secret conversation between Solo and Sami could hint at the 40-year-old star being quietly recruited into the villainous faction. If this scenario unfolds, it would likely lead to Sami Zayn leaving the red brand to align with Solo Sikoa in the Bloodline saga on SmackDown.
Why Sami Zayn's heel turn is possible twist to unfold
Sami Zayn already has several strong reasons to turn heel and side with Solo Sikoa. After parting ways with the Bloodline, Sami moved to RAW and trusted Jey Uso. The two share a strong bond, supporting each other in various rivalries.
However, when Sami tried to reconnect with Jey on RAW this week, he was promptly rejected. Jey stated that it was about family. Despite their bond, this rejection could push Sami toward a heel turn, as Jey’s words broke the trust they had built.
Additionally, after leaving the Samoan faction, Sami had personal rivalries with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso, while Solo Sikoa is the only member who has never been in direct conflict with him. This gives Sami a considerable reason to align with Solo, the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief, rather than reuniting with the OG Bloodline.
When Sami Zayn is expected to appear on SmackDown?
After the recent developments involving Sami Zayn on RAW, his appearance on SmackDown seems likely. The upcoming episode of the blue brand will be a pre-taped show, and according to spoilers, Sami’s appearance hasn’t been mentioned.
However, he could still show up in a backstage segment. Furthermore, Zayn is envisioned to play a role in the Bloodline saga at Crown Jewel 2024. So, if the former Honorary Uce doesn’t appear on this week’s SmackDown, he’s very likely to appear on the post-Crown Jewel episode of the blue brand.
Fans must wait and see what RAW General Manager Adam Pearce and SmackDown GM Nick Aldis decide about these superstars.
