Similarly, Jey Uso said that his brother suffered a broken toe while delivering the frog splash. On SmackDown, WWE confirmed all three injuries, even announcing that Bronson Reed would require surgery for his broken foot. With that said, it seems that The Bloodline storyline will miss crucial members for the foreseeable future.

Speaking of the faction, Solo Sikoa and Co. arrived at the arena without Tonga Loa. The remaining members wreaked havoc backstage, attacking Apollo Crews and a few security officials. With The Bloodline saga heating up, fans could finally see Sikoa take on Roman Reigns sooner rather than later. Regardless, it will be interesting to see what transpires in the coming weeks following the aforementioned injuries.
