WWE and AEW Quick Takes: Bloodline, Crown Jewel, and AEW’s Storylines
Booking Reed to lose at this stage would undercut the intensity of their storyline, positioning him beneath Rollins, who can easily recover from a loss given his established status. Reed's victory would not only solidify his place in the upper echelon of WWE but also pave the way for more engaging storylines down the road.
Final OG Bloodline Member for WarGames
With WWE's Crown Jewel on the horizon, anticipation is building for the Survivor Series on November 30, particularly for the WarGames main event featuring the current Bloodline against the O.G. Bloodline. The conclusion of the latest SmackDown saw the Motor City Machine Guns defeat Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, aided by The Usos, solidifying their participation in the event alongside Roman Reigns. This sets the stage for the crucial fourth member of Reigns' faction, and while Cody Rhodes is a plausible option given his history with Reigns, Sami Zayn emerges as the more compelling choice.
Zayn's complex history with Reigns and The Usos makes him a strong candidate for this role. Recently, Zayn was absent after falling short against Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, and integrating him into the O.G. Bloodline reunion would provide a fresh narrative direction, despite the risk of contradicting their prior storyline. However, the prospect of Zayn teaming up with Reigns again would undoubtedly create must-see television.
Bronson Reed Must Prevail at Crown Jewel
As Bronson Reed continues to rise in prominence within WWE, a decisive victory over Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel is essential. After attacking Rollins post-SummerSlam and engaging in a subsequent feud with Braun Strowman, Reed has garnered significant momentum. With the match looming, it’s critical for Reed to secure a strong win, which would affirm his status on the card and prevent any diminishment of his growing reputation.
Booking Reed to lose at this stage would undercut the intensity of their storyline, positioning him beneath Rollins, who can easily recover from a loss given his established status. Reed's victory would not only solidify his place in the upper echelon of WWE but also pave the way for more engaging storylines down the road.
AEW’s Mixed Storylines and the Hurt Business Revival
While AEW consistently delivers outstanding pay-per-view events, its weekly programming has struggled with coherence, leaving some storylines faltering. However, the revival of the Hurt Business stands out as a highlight. MVP and Shelton Benjamin have reinvigorated their careers in AEW, showcasing their skills and potential to engage new talent.
As WWE builds towards Crown Jewel and Survivor Series, the potential outcomes of these storylines could shape the direction of both promotions. With the Bloodline's dynamics evolving and AEW’s Hurt Business rekindling interest, fans have plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks.
