Roman Reigns’ OG Bloodline and CM Punk secured a significant victory at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. However, the match's conclusion also resulted in Jimmy Uso suffering an injury. This occurred when the Samoan Twin executed a high-risk leap from the top of the WarGames cage onto Jacob Fatu, who was positioned on a table.

Currently, no timeline has been revealed for Jimmy’s return to the squared circle. Additionally, WWE has yet to confirm whether Jimmy will be written off television due to the injury. If he is written off and goes on hiatus, Roman Reigns could potentially replace him with 6'1" WWE star Lance Anoa'i.

For those unfamiliar, Lance recently signed with the Stamford-based promotion as part of the NXT developmental program. This wouldn’t be Lance’s first appearance on WWE television as on the May 27, 2019, edition of RAW, he competed in a singles match against Shane McMahon. After the bout, Shane and Drew McIntyre brutalized Lance until Roman Reigns made the save. This appearance was used to escalate the rivalry between Shane and Reigns.

Now, with Lance Anoa'i officially part of WWE as a talent, speculation has sparked regarding his inclusion in The Bloodline Saga. With Jimmy Uso’s unfortunate injury, this seems like the perfect time for Roman Reigns to introduce Lance as a potential replacement. Despite WarGames concluding, the feud between the OG Bloodline and Solo Sikoa’s faction is expected to continue, and Reigns may still need reinforcements on his side.

Lance’s addition to the OG Bloodline could strengthen the group and bring new energy to the storyline. For now, it remains to be seen how the Bloodline Saga will evolve following the OG Bloodline’s victory at WarGames.
