The ‘OTC’ Roman Reigns is once again the main focus in WWE’s newest storyline. Following Monday Night RAW and Survivor Series, fans began to notice hints of a significant storyline crossover. Many feuds are happening simultaneously, but they all seem to connect to the Bloodline and especially Roman Reigns.
Roman Reigns being the key element in TWO stories that he isn't directly involved in is power to his name.

The first feud that comes to mind is CM Punk vs. Seth “Freakin” Rollins. This was supposed to start after last year’s Survivor Series, but it didn’t happen because of Punk’s injury and his storyline with Drew McIntyre.
Now, the feud is heating up again because Seth is upset with Punk for helping Roman Reigns win Survivor Series. Seth doesn’t like Roman, and anyone who helps Roman becomes Seth’s enemy—which is exactly what’s happening between these two.

The next feud involves Drew McIntyre, who is back on RAW after taking a break since Bad Blood. He wasted no time restarting his rivalry with the Bloodline by attacking Sami Zayn as soon as he entered the ring.
This feud goes back to McIntyre’s big win over Reigns at Clash at the Castle in 2022 and their many battles since. With their unresolved history and McIntyre’s newly built fiercer attitude, the tension is higher than ever.
Love the storytelling between sami & seth in the main event, sami blaming seth for attacking jey uso backstage and seth, knowing nothing about it costing sami to lose against seth and now the primary suspect that S.O.B 😂 Drew McIntyre is BACK!!!

The final feud is between Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn. These three used to share a bond in WWE, united by their common enemy, the Bloodline. But now, things have turned sour with Jey and Sami back on Roman’s side.
Although Cody Rhodes is the current champion, the storyline always becomes epic when ‘OTC’ is involved. Many fans believe that when Roman retires, WWE might lose its emotional connection, as his Bloodline story has been the most captivating since 2020.
Let’s not forget, Roman was once booed badly, but now he’s the face of the business. So, before Roman retires, WWE will build someone else to take his place.
Sami Zayn reveals who made Roman Reigns a monster
In Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins feels heavily betrayed, claiming that Sami and Jey are helping Roman ‘regain’ power—power he has used to control and destroy everyone since becoming the Tribal Chief in 2020. Sami, on the other hand, blames Rollins for Roman’s transformation, saying Seth’s betrayal with the steel chair attack made him the monster he is today.
“Let me remind you something else, that monster Roman Reigns, YOU created that monster.”

When ‘The Visionary’ accused Sami Zayn of helping Roman Reigns, even though he wasn’t part of the family, Sami responded, saying, “Hey, let me remind you something else, that monster, Roman Reigns, you created that monster. You created that monster, when you put a chair in his back, ten years ago. So, don’t act like your hands are totally clean in all of this.”
This chaos all ties back to the years of dominance and destruction caused by Reigns and the Bloodline before he lost his title to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.
