If it wasn’t for a towering figure like Bronson Reed blindsiding Roman Reigns on SmackDown last night, The OTC would’ve stood tall. The Reigns-led OG Bloodline took the bull by the horns and almost wiped out Solo and his unhinged cavalry. However, Reed was the difference maker.
He delivered a couple of tsunamis, following up on Jacob Fatu‘s moonsaults. That said, Bronson took to X. The Auszilla explained his actions and why he eventually decided to side with the new Bloodline.
Reed said he already told everyone that he would be coming after the spotlight. It doesn’t matter which brand it leads him to. The very next line he wrote is that he does acknowledge Solo.
Bronson also called out some fans over their negligence of his Samoan roots, saying he’s an AFAKASI—someone with a Samoan heritage tracing their ancestry from Europe. Also, Reed’s real name is Jonah Rock. Shortly after he joined forces with Sikoa, the Tongans, and Fatu, fans joked about the new Bloodline finding common ground in Reed, with his surname being resonant to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
