On the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, The Bloodline’s interference during the Triple Threat Match has not only led to chaos in the title picture but has also altered the trajectory of the upcoming Royal Rumble event. The interference, orchestrated by The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, resulted in a brutal and chaotic scene that left fans on the edge of their seats.

The initial Triple Threat Match between AJ Styles, Randy Orton, and LA Knight showcased incredible athleticism and determination. However, the contest never saw an official finish, as The Bloodline stormed the ring, dismantling all three competitors. Styles’ attempted Phenomenal Forearm was countered by Orton’s RKO, but before the match could reach a conclusion, chaos ensued.

The Bloodline, consisting of Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, and their strategist Paul Heyman, wreaked havoc at ringside. Assaulting Styles, Knight, and Orton, they left no room for an official decision. The subsequent beatdown saw Solo using ringside steps on Orton, Reigns powerbombing Styles, and Knight receiving a Superman punch and spear. The dominance of The Bloodline was evident, with Solo executing the Samoan Spike and Reigns delivering a decisive spear.

In the aftermath, Nick Aldis, not one to let such chaos go unnoticed, directed Paul Heyman to relay his sarcastic congratulations to Reigns. However, Aldis’s response to The Bloodline’s interference took an unexpected turn – he turned the Royal Rumble singles match into a Fatal Four-Way. This decision introduces a layer of complexity, as Reigns now faces the risk of losing the championship without being pinned or submitted.

Fatal 4-Way Is A Huge Match For a Stacked Royal Rumble Card

The implications of this development are significant, injecting high stakes into the Royal Rumble main event and setting the stage for potential WrestleMania 40 storylines. WWE, by opting for a Fatal Four-Way, strategically maintains key storylines while intensifying the excitement surrounding the title picture.

At the same time, the Royal Rumble match will likely not have any of these four competitors in it, leaving space for Cody Rhodes and CM Punk to tell the match’s main storyline.

As the anticipation builds for the Royal Rumble, fans are left eagerly speculating on the myriad possibilities that this unforeseen twist brings to the forefront of the wrestling world.
