Match of the month

The Bloodline OG vs. The New Bloodline – 5 on 5 Men’s WarGames match, WWE Survivor Series 2024 (November 30)

The Original Bloodline reunited to face The New Bloodline of Solo Sikoa at Survivor Series on November 30th. Roman Reigns was able to take revenge on what happened at Crown Jewel on November 2nd, when his former right hand man Solo Sikoa pinned him. This time, it was Roman Reigns who pinned Solo, thanks to the help of his partners The Usos, Sami Zayn, and also CM Punk who had joined them thanks to the persuasiveness of the Wiseman Paul Heyman.

A great match and an intriguing storytelling between Roman Reigns and CM Punk who had to put their differencies aside for one night to not let Solo Sikoa’s friends take the control and the power in WWE.
