In an electrifying episode of WWE SmackDown on October 5, 2024, the WWE Universe was treated to one of the most unpredictable alliances ever. Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes teamed up to take on the formidable duo of Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa in a jaw-dropping main event. Fans had been eagerly awaiting the return of the “Beast Incarnate,” but no one could have predicted this shocking alignment.
The Backstory: Tribal Warfare
The ongoing Bloodline saga has been WWE’s most intense storyline in recent years. Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief, has been battling not just external challengers but also family betrayals. Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, both members of the Anoa’i family dynasty, have turned against Reigns, creating a fierce internal struggle for dominance. Cody Rhodes, after his pursuit of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, aligned himself with Reigns out of mutual respect and a common enemy.
However, it wasn’t just the family betrayal that ignited this explosive confrontation. Fatu and Sikoa had been dominating the SmackDown landscape, sending a clear message to the Tribal Chief that their time had come. With Reigns and Rhodes struggling to keep the Bloodline in check, a wildcard entered the fray—none other than Brock Lesnar.
Brock Lesnar’s Shocking Return
Lesnar’s return was a monumental moment for the WWE Universe. The Beast, who has a storied rivalry with Roman Reigns, shocked the world when he stormed the arena to assist Reigns and Rhodes. It was unclear at first whether Lesnar had returned to settle old scores with Reigns or to side with him. However, once the match began, the message became clear: Lesnar was there to even the odds.
Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa, already a dominant force, were seemingly unstoppable until Lesnar’s arrival. With his unmatched strength and fury, Lesnar turned the tide, delivering suplexes and F5s with devastating precision. The crowd erupted as Lesnar stood tall next to Reigns and Rhodes, forming an unexpected alliance of sheer power.
The Match: Chaos Unleashed
The match itself was nothing short of a spectacle. From the very beginning, tensions were high as Fatu and Sikoa sought to dismantle their opponents. Sikoa, known for his brutal Samoan Spike, targeted Reigns relentlessly, while Fatu’s high-flying maneuvers kept Rhodes on the defensive. The two cousins, bound by blood but driven by betrayal, showcased their hunger to take control of the Bloodline.
However, with Lesnar’s raw power, Reigns’ ring intelligence, and Rhodes’ resilience, the trio mounted a comeback that sent the arena into chaos. Lesnar’s F5 to Jacob Fatu seemed to mark the turning point, while Rhodes hit a perfectly executed Cross Rhodes on Solo Sikoa, leaving the crowd roaring.
The final moments of the match were pure WWE drama. Reigns delivered a brutal Spear to Sikoa, securing the pinfall and the victory for his team. Lesnar, standing alongside Reigns and Rhodes, raised his arm in victory—a scene that seemed almost surreal given the history between Reigns and Lesnar.
What’s Next for the Bloodline?
With Brock Lesnar now seemingly on the side of Reigns and Rhodes, the future of the Bloodline is more uncertain than ever. The rift between family members grows deeper, and with Lesnar in the mix, the power struggle has intensified. Questions now arise about where this leaves the rest of the WWE roster and how Reigns and Lesnar will coexist moving forward.
This alliance could shift the balance of power on SmackDown for weeks to come. Fans are left wondering whether Lesnar’s assistance was a one-time event or if the Beast Incarnate has officially aligned himself with the Tribal Chief. Either way, the Bloodline saga continues to evolve, keeping the WWE Universe on the edge of their seats.
WWE SmackDown on October 5, 2024, will be remembered as the night Brock Lesnar shocked the world by siding with Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. The alliance between these three titans is bound to send shockwaves throughout WWE, and the consequences for the Bloodline could be monumental. The road to redemption—or destruction—has only just begun for Roman Reigns as he continues to fight for his place as the head of the table.
