36-year-old star reveals the real reason why he joined Solo Sikoa’s team for clash against OG Bloodline at Survivor Series
The unlikeliest of the allies saw a Raw Superstar come over to SmackDown, and paying his allegiance to Solo Sikoa for WarGames clash.

If it wasn’t for a towering figure like Bronson Reed blindsiding Roman Reigns on SmackDown last night, The OTC would’ve stood tall. The Reigns-led OG Bloodline took the bull by the horns and almost wiped out Solo and his unhinged cavalry. However, Reed was the difference maker. He delivered a couple of tsunamis, following up on Jacob Fatu‘s moonsaults. That said, Bronson took to X.
The Auszilla explained his actions and why he eventually decided to side with the new Bloodline. Reed said he already told everyone that he would be coming after the spotlight. It doesn’t matter which brand it leads him to. The very next line he wrote is that he does acknowledge Solo.
Bronson also called out some fans over their negligence of his Samoan roots, saying he’s an AFAKASI—someone with a Samoan heritage tracing their ancestry from Europe. Also, Reed’s real name is Jonah Rock. Shortly after he joined forces with Sikoa, the Tongans, and Fatu, fans joked about the new Bloodline finding common ground in Reed, with his surname being resonant to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
I told you, I'm coming for that spotlight. Raw, Smackdown, I'll take it all!

I do what I want when I want.
I acknowledge SOLO.
Also, it's called AFAKASI, you damn morons! pic.twitter.com/cwkdqEXMTb
In fact, there was speculation at one point that the Hollywood actor might end up as the fifth member of Bloodline 2.0, but it was a pipe dream in the first place, it seems. With Solo Sikoa‘s side boasting of two goliaths in Fatu and Reed, it’s gone down in a hurry for the OGs. They’re still a man short, with almost no one willing to team up with them.
It’s expected that Roman’s longtime rival and former Shield comrade Seth Rollins will come to his aid for one night only. But, as things stand, The Visionary has already declined Sami Zayn‘s offer to render his help to Reigns and The Usos, warning Zayn of Reigns’ personal gains.
Roman Reigns was denied access to Paul Heyman to close out SmackDown
Throughout SmackDown this week, Jey Uso kept pleading with Roman Reigns about making that call. But to whom? The fans didn’t get their answers until the tail end of the episode.
At last, a bruised Reigns was shown backstage with him saying, “Call… The Wiseman.” And just like that, the crowd went bananas. However, the call got disconnected as Paul Heyman‘s number was no longer in service. It was an immaculate continuation to the beatdown of Jimmy Uso back in April.

During that segment, Sikoa had completely destroyed Paul’s phone. The WWE Universe couldn’t be more appreciative of the way that detail was factored into the storyline. Some even called Roman trying to ring Heyman up akin to post-credit scene of a movie.
