While the Bloodline would have you believe that they are firing on all cylinders and are dominating WWE SmackDown with ease, even casual observers can see cracks forming, and one of those cracks exposed itself Monday night on Raw.

The Bloodline (sans Roman Reigns) came to Raw to make sure everyone was ready for the Tribal Chief's arrival next week for the Raw season premiere. The group fan into the Street Profits backstage, where an argument ensued and Angelo Dawkins ended up having a challenge answered by Solo Sikoa.

But the story here was Sami Zayn and Jey Uso, who haven't been seeing eye to eye for a while now. The two got into a few verbal spats during the Sikoa/Dawkins match, with Sami trying to help Solo out, and Jey angrily reminding him that that's his brother. The argument made its way to the ring apron at one point, costing Solo a pinfall attempt, and then erupted into a shoving match on the floor, with Jimmy Uso having to play peacemaker.

It's unclear at this point whether this is the beginning of the end for Sami - Jey has long since soured on Zayn - or if things will be smoothed over and peace restored. But this is a fascinating story to watch unfold, as Sami is one of the most compelling characters in all of WWE right now.
