On the June 6 edition of SmackDown, Seth Rollins found himself in a heated confrontation with Jacob Fatu and the new Bloodline faction, just days before the Money in the Bank event. The tense exchange centered on the ongoing power struggle in WWE, as the episode opened with Rollins, alongside Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman, addressing the crowd and declaring his intent to take charge after the upcoming ladder match.
Rising Tensions and Verbal Shots Fired
Seth Rollins first referenced Roman Reigns’ recent absence, suggesting the possibility of Reigns making a comeback for One True Champion (OTC) status. The main action, however, began when Solo Sikoa entered the ring with JC Mateo and Jacob Fatu. Solo called Rollins’ allies “Bloodline wannabes” and made a jab at Bronson Reed, implying he could be their Honorary Uce. The confrontation intensified as Rollins questioned why Jacob Fatu remained silent and attacked Fatu’s reputation, saying his “Samoan Werewolf” moniker should be swapped out. Rollins provoked further by suggesting a new nickname for Fatu as “Solo’s bitch,” intensifying the conflict between the groups.
Escalating Feud Hints at Future Matchup
The war of words led to a tense staredown between Fatu and Bron Breakker, suggesting the beginnings of a significant rivalry. Seth Rollins quickly removed Breakker from the situation, preventing an immediate escalation, but the confrontation hinted at a possible headline match in the near future. This episode underscored the uncertainty surrounding the leadership of WWE, with established names like Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa now closely involved and the dynamic between Rollins and the Bloodline reaching new levels of intensity. As the Money in the Bank ladder match approaches, fans are left to wonder how these heated rivalries will ultimately play out on SmackDown’s biggest stage.
