A recent report has suggested that WWE had to pull the plug on Roman Reigns' real-life Bloodline members taking part in 'The Trial of Sami Zayn' due to legal and other complications. Zayn, his loyalty to The Bloodline in question, was called to attend a Tribal Court on the RAW is XXX episode on January 23, 2023.
Former WWE star Lance Anoa'i, in an interview, shed light on the Stamford-based promotion's plans to feature multiple members of the Samoan family, including Jacob Fatu and the Wild Samoans (Afa and Sika) in the segment.
Both Lance and Jacob Fatu were reported to appear in the segment along with elders of the family, Afa and Sika. However, existing contractual obligations with MLW prevented Lance from making a guest appearance on the segment. Fatu, on the other hand, was unable to do so due to legal issues.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, a source in WWE said the company never actively promoted Jacob Fatu's involvement in the segment. They said the Stamford-based promotion had focused solely on Afa and Sika's participation. However, while Lance and Fatu were not allowed to appear due to legal issues, Afa and Sika were not available and the idea was dropped by the company.
