7 Ups & 0 Downs From WWE SmackDown (15 Nov - Results & Review)

2. Bronson Reed Joins Solo Sikoa

Drama! Emotion! Stakes! Build! The slick segment that saw OG Bloodline members brawling with Solo Sikoa's version had all of it. Everything worked. Solo's music cut Roman's meeting with The Usos and Sami Zayn off backstage, then the OG crew started wrecking shop as revenge. That's when Sikoa played his hand by revealing that Raw's Bronson Reed had signed on as the team's fifth member for WarGames.

Major plaudits to Michael Cole for selling this like Solo had just darted back in a time machine and brought 1993 Yokozuna back with him. Reed looked unbelievable throughout. He came across as every bit the WWE headliner in waiting. It's doubtful he'll be part of Solo's crew beyond Survivor Series, but he does give the WarGames match a fresh face and paves the way for Seth Rollins to become Team OG's fifth man.

You know that's where this is going.

Rollins will patch things up enough to join Roman, Sami, Jimmy and Jey. Leaving that hanging in front of fans like a colossal tease was clever. There was no need to have Seth just happen to be backstage for SmackDown without a reason. This brawl was everything it needed to be anyway. Plus, the way Reigns sold Bronson's splash from the top was outstanding. The 'OTC' acted like he'd just been smashed in the sternum with a sledgehammer.

WWE could've left things there for now, but no - they had another treat in store for fans totally invested in this Bloodline vs. Bloodline tale. It was a short, minute long segment, but it'll get everybody talking...
