After a notable pause, The Bloodline saga seems to have finally picked up on SmackDown. While former member Jey Uso is currently competing on RAW, Jimmy Uso has made his return to the heel faction. This week on SmackDown, The Bloodline was seen involved in a segment with John Cena and AJ Styles.

Even though nothing is official yet, if WWE continues the storyline, there is a chance that fans could witness a 4v4 match between The Bloodline and Team Cena. While Cena will have Styles and The O.C. by his side, The Bloodline will lack a fourth member in their team.

This is where the heel faction could pull off a swerve and introduce a 27-year-old superstar to their team. The superstar in question is Zilla Fatu. Fatu is the son of the legendary Umaga and related to Roman Reigns and The Usos. Hence, it would make perfect sense for him to be inducted into The Bloodline.

Fatu's introduction in the faction is also possible because the 27-year-old is no longer a part of Booker T's Reality of Wrestling. This is why it would be easy for WWE to sign him. As for the experience, given that he belongs to the legendary Anoa'i family, the training he has received will help him sail the rough waters of WWE.


WWE Veteran is confused by The Bloodline storyline

It would have been hard to think that The Bloodline would not be together some time ago. Ever since The Usos walked out of the faction, The Bloodline's story has been confusing for many. While Jey Uso is on RAW, Jimmy is back in the heel faction, whereas Roman Reigns is missing.

Given how the story is developing, it has led to many not understanding the plot. One such man sailing on the same boat is WWE Veteran Dutch Mantell. During an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Mantell expressed his confusion about The Bloodline. However, he also seemed sure WWE had an idea about the direction they wanted to go with.

"I'm confused about the whole Bloodline story. I'm just looking at it, and I don't know what they are doing. When they pull it together and make it make sense, then I would get more with it. But, you know, [Jimmy] is kind of torn, he doesn't know. He has offers; what's he going to take? But that gives creative time to think about the centerpiece of it and where this is heading. I'm sure they have an idea of where they want it to go," said Mantell. [31:11 - 31:38]

While Mantell shared his opinion, SmackDown last week was a huge hit. The return of The Rock and the segment involving Cena and The Bloodline did wonders for the blue brand. It will be interesting to see if WWE can capitalize on the same.
