Report: Bloodline Angle For Monday's WWE Raw Changed
It will no longer be an "acknowledgement" ceremony
Jan 21, 2023
PWInsider is reporting that WWE has dropped the "Bloodline Acknowledgement" ceremony starring WWE Universal champion Roman Reigns for this Monday's Raw 30th anniversary show.
Per the report, WWE will instead run an angle where, based on the events of Friday's SmackDown, "... Sami Zayn will instead be going before a Tribal Court for the "Trial of Sami Zayn".
On Friday's SmackDown, Kevin Owens orchestrated a beatdown of Reigns and the other Bloodline members, except for Zayn. Reigns and Zayn had contentious moments earlier in the night.
The originally planned segment would've included individuals from the Anoa'i family dynasty, including Afa, Sika, Rikishi, and Samu. It's not clear if the change in angle will still include appearances from them.
The current card for Monday's 30th anniversary episode of WWE Raw, taking place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, includes the following:
* WWE United States: Austin Theory (c) vs. Bobby Lashley
* Raw Tag Team: The Usos (c) vs. Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio
* Steel Cage match: Becky Lynch vs. Bayley
* The "Trial" of Sami Zayn
* Appearances from numerous WWE legends
