As WWE builds momentum toward Bad Blood on October 5, 2024, the October 1 episode of SmackDown has lit the fuse for what promises to be one of the most intense and explosive main events in WWE history. With internal conflict, surprising alliances, and a fierce battle for dominance, this storyline perfectly sets the stage for the highly anticipated showdown at Bad Blood.
Tensions within Bloodline have been building for months, with Roman Reigns struggling to maintain control of the crumbling faction. Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa, once loyal members of the family, have now formed a powerful duo bent on dethroning the Tribal Chief. In the weeks leading up to SmackDown, it was clear that Fatu and Sikoa, with the support of SmackDown’s top wrestlers, had their sights set on destroying Reigns for good.
The October 1 edition of SmackDown opens with Roman Reigns coming to the ring, visibly frustrated but determined to defend his legacy. The crowd buzzes with anticipation as Reigns speaks about the betrayal occurring within his family and the threat posed by Fatu and Sikoa. Before he can finish his speech, Jacob Fatu’s familiar music hits and he storms out alongside Solo Sikoa, flanked by several of SmackDown’s top stars, creating an imposing force.
It quickly becomes apparent that Roman Reigns is outnumbered, and Fatu and Sikoa are prepared to make their move. However, just as things are about to spiral out of control, Cody Rhodes’ music blasts through the speakers, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Cody, who has formed an uneasy but powerful alliance with Reigns, rushes to the ring to back up the Tribal Chief. Together, they take on Fatu, Sikoa, and the entire SmackDown army, but the odds are still very much against them.
The match that follows is chaotic and brutal, with Fatu and Sikoa using their SmackDown allies to overwhelm Reigns and Rhodes. It seems that the duo of Fatu and Sikoa, with the strength of the entire SmackDown roster behind them, are destined to crush Reigns and end his reign at the top.
But just when defeat seems inevitable for Reigns and Rhodes, the unexpected happens. Brock Lesnar’s music blares and the arena erupts as The Beast Incarnate charges up the ramp. Lesnar, a longtime rival of Reigns, surprises everyone by aligning himself with Roman and Cody. His sheer power instantly turns the tide of the match.
Lesnar lays waste to the SmackDown roster with his trademark ferocity, leveling the playing field. His brutal attacks on Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa send shockwaves through the WWE Universe as it becomes clear that this alliance of Reigns, Rhodes and Lesnar is not to be underestimated. With Lesnar by their side, Reigns and Rhodes manage to fight back, sending a clear message to Fatu, Sikoa and anyone else who stands in their way.
As the dust settles, the WWE Universe is left in shock, wondering what this unexpected alliance means for Bad Blood. Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar are now united, an unstoppable power trio, ready to take on Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa and the entire SmackDown roster in what promises to be a legendary battle.
