CM Punk makes Roman Reigns look robust once more
The Bloodline civil struggle involves a head tonight at War Games when CM Punk joins up with the OG Bloodline in a battle of survival towards Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline and Bronson Reed. For these readers who’re unfamiliar with what a War Games match is, you may compensate for all the foundations proper right here.
Roman Reigns went on hiatus following his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania. During that point, Sikoa made swift strikes to pressure Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman out of The Bloodline, add the Tongans and Jacob Fatu to the combo, and proclaim himself to be the brand new Tribal Chief.
That’s the battlefield Roman returned to at SummerSlam when he prevented Sikoa from successful the Undisputed WWE championship from Rhodes. Reigns and Sikoa have been going at it since then, however the OTC wanted assist to take care of the numbers sport on Solo’s facet.
Jimmy returned and satisfied Roman to attempt to work issues out with Jey, whereas Sami Zayn additionally provided his companies to return to the household for this struggle. They struggled to discover a fifth man, although, till The Wiseman made his shock return and introduced CM Punk into the fold as the ultimate member for an undisclosed favor in return.
So, how precisely can Solo’s crew cease the reunited OG Bloodline at War Games? Well, Fatu did earn his crew the War Games benefit by defeating Jey in a singles match. There’s additionally the truth that Roman and CM undoubtedly don’t like one another. This stems again to a decade in the past when Punk’s “make Roman look robust” story swept over the web and contributed to the fan backlash towards Reigns at the moment. If these two prime stars can’t work collectively at War Games, the OG Bloodline might crumble and be pressured to give up to Solo Sikoa.
CM Punk claims that he’s becoming a member of this struggle out of loyalty to Heyman. That means his job tonight is to finally make Roman Reigns look robust once more by standing tall with him as winners contained in the double cage at War Games. Is that how issues will play out, or will a wild card like Seth Rollins present as much as screw up each groups’ plans? You’ll must tune into Survivor Series to see which model of The Bloodline wins this civil struggle.
The remainder of the cardboard
Here are the 4 remaining matches which can be additionally marketed for Survivor Series:
War Games: Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, IYO SKY, Bayley & Naomi vs. Nia Jax, Liv Morgan, Candice LeRae, Raquel Rodriguez & Tiffany Stratton
Of course Rhea Ripley needs to go to struggle with Liv Morgan after the ladies’s world champion tried to take every thing away from Rhea throughout her revenge tour this yr. Liv and Raquel tried to take Rhea out for good by breaking her face with a baseball bat within the NXT parking zone, however Ripley returned just some weeks later carrying a protecting masks and able to tear Morgan to items. Liv additionally has IYO respiratory down her neck as the brand new primary contender to the world title.
The different drama happening right here is the backstage thriller assault on Jade Cargill that pressured Bianca’s crew to interchange her with Bayley. Bayley earned that spot by serving to Belair defeat Nia Jax to win the benefit on this War Games match.
Will Liv and Raquel attempt to injure another person on the crew earlier than the match begins in an effort to neutralize that benefit? Will the babyface crew implode regardless as a consequence of previous points between Bayley, IYO SKY, and Belair? Is tonight the proper time for Tiffany Stratton to money in her Money within the Bank contract, on condition that Liv Morgan and WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax could also be incapacitated sooner or later throughout this struggle? Will we discover out who attacked Jade?
GUNTHER (c) vs. Damian Priest for the World heavyweight championship
GUNTHER misplaced his mojo after falling to Cody Rhodes in Saudi Arabia earlier this month. Damian Priest made certain to rub that failure in GUNTHER’s face whereas asserting that he’s going to take the world title again from the Ring General at Survivor Series. GUNTHER tried to ambush Priest backstage however he failed at that too, which solely made his self-confidence points worsen.
WWE has basically tried to do as a lot as attainable to make it seem to be Damian has an excellent likelihood to win this match, regardless that betting markets aren’t shopping for it one bit. Is that as a result of Finn Balor is lurking someplace within the shadows able to guarantee that his former stablemate in The Judgment Day by no means holds this belt once more?
LA Knight (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship
The megastar wanted a brand new challenger after he defeated Carmelo Hayes and Andrade at Crown Jewel. Enter Shinsuke Nakamura, who returned to WWE tv for the primary time since April to put out Knight. Shinsuke has gotten the higher of LA all month lengthy, and that features blasting him with the Kinshasa in addition to blinding him with black mist. Can Knight make the mandatory changes in time to beat Shinsuke and retain his mid-card gold at Survivor Series?
Bron Breakker (c) vs. Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser for the Intercontinental championship
When somebody new wins the Intercontinental championship, it received’t be lengthy earlier than the Celtic Warrior comes knocking on their door, as a result of it’s the one title in WWE that has eluded him all through his profession. Sheamus and Bron did certainly combat over the belt earlier this month, however the end was ruined by Ludwig Kaiser, who has been a thorn in Sheamus’ facet for some time. Now all three males will combat about it with the title on the road at Survivor Series.
Summary
Let’s face it, the undercard title matches are fantastic and all, however Survivor Series is all concerning the two War Games matches. The Bloodline civil struggle particularly is essentially the most extremely anticipated WWE major occasion since WrestleMania, and that was true even earlier than CM Punk joined the combat. I’d argue that CM and Roman on the identical crew is a extra compelling dynamic to observe than Reigns’ partnership with Cody Rhodes from final month at Bad Blood. The Bloodline story just about all the time hits a house run, and there’s no motive to assume issues will probably be any totally different tonight at Survivor Series.
