Roman Reigns’ WarGames Team Completed; Big Comeback at Survivor Series? 5 WWE SmackDown Insights
The latest episode of WWE SmackDown concluded in a surprising fashion, as Roman Reigns’ attempt to contact Paul Heyman did not go as planned. The Original Tribal Chief’s call failed to connect, with The Wiseman’s number reportedly out of service.
Beyond this unexpected moment, several other significant developments unfolded during the show. In this article, we will explore five key things WWE subtly revealed in this week’s edition of the blue brand.
#5. B-Fab could be lined up for a major push soon as a singles star on SmackDown
The first round of the Women’s United States Championship tournament took place on the latest episode of SmackDown. The Triple Threat Match featured Bayley, B-Fab, and Candice LeRae.
Although The Role Model ultimately secured the victory, B-Fab was notably strong throughout the contest, surprising fans with her impressive performance.
The match included several near falls, with B-Fab coming close to victory on multiple occasions. Despite her loss, the 33-year-old star’s strong booking suggests that WWE may have bigger plans for her as a singles competitor in the near future.
#4. Nick Aldis’ in-ring return was teased by WWE on SmackDown recently
The show kicked off with Cody Rhodes and Nick Aldis engaging in a heated segment. However, the exchange took an intriguing turn when The American Nightmare appeared to drop hints about the SmackDown General Manager’s potential in-ring return. During his promo, Rhodes pointed out that Nick is not just an authority figure but also a wrestler.
Many fans believe this is a clear acknowledgment by WWE of Aldis’ in-ring capabilities. It could also be seen as the stepping stone for Nick’s future in-ring debut in the Stamford-based promotion.
#3. The Street Profits’ heel turn seems to be on the horizon
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins faced off against The Motor City Machine Guns in a high-profile bout on the latest episode of SmackDown. However, the match didn’t end as they had wished. At the end of the match, Tommaso Ciampa’s interference caused a disqualification. Both Ford and Dawkins appeared visibly frustrated with the outcome. Angelo & Montez even attacked Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin and then left the ring.
This shift in behavior seems to be a clear indication of an impending heel turn for the Street Profits on SmackDown.
#2. Seth Rollins could be the fifth member of the OG Bloodline
Bronson Reed has officially joined Solo Sikoa’s WarGames team and played a pivotal role in dismantling the OG Bloodline. The Auszilla is currently embroiled in a feud with Seth Rollins and is set to face the latter on the upcoming (pre-taped) episode of RAW.
So, with Reed now revealed as the fifth member of Team Solo for the 2024 Men’s WarGames Match, it seems increasingly likely that Seth Rollins will align with Roman Reigns’ OG Bloodline for the upcoming premium live event.
#1. Paul Heyman could return at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024
Roman Reigns attempted to contact Paul Heyman during the latest episode of SmackDown, but his call went unanswered. The mention of The Wiseman in this storyline suggests that WWE is planning a return for him.
With Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 just around the corner, it seems likely that Paul Heyman will make his blockbuster return at the event.
