The shocking and quiet rejection of Sami Zayn by Roman Reigns set the tone for this week’s WWE SmackDown, which was already an extremely personal event. Many believed that after hints from the last Raw episode, Sami would make things right and reunite with Roman. But the opening segment turned out to be the exact opposite, taking everyone by surprise.
Roman Reigns started this week’s “WWE SmackDown” for the first time since losing at Crown Jewel. After Reigns and Big Jim entered the ring, Jey Uso’s music played, followed by Sami Zayn’s entrance.
Jey urged Roman to listen to Sami, who wanted to explain himself after what happened at Crown Jewel. Sami, feeling emotional, apologized for accidentally hitting Roman and said he wanted to rejoin the original Bloodline.
"He's not BLOOD." 🩸

But Roman’s response was cold. He apologized to Jey for wasting his time with Sami Zayn and said Sami wasn’t part of the family. Roman said he only cared about getting revenge on Solo Sikoa and the New Bloodline. The rejection was a harsh blow to Zayn, who left the ring visibly shaken and rejected.
