Following WWE Raw, The Bloodline and The 946 are set to face off at Survivor Series: WarGames, but more may be to come.

Made official for Survivor Series: WarGames on November 28, The Bloodline and The 946 will be locked in the steel structure for the first time since their feud began.

Royce Keys has made it clear that his objective is Roman Reigns himself, and this week’s episode of WWE Raw saw just how far The 946 will go to secure that goal:

Brutalizing the roster

With Rey Fenix becoming the number one contender for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, beating Chad Gable and Big Cass.

Any celebration was cut short, with The 946 descending on the ring, attacking all three men and leaving the trio on the mat, before Royce Keys declared that Roman Reigns should acknowledge him.

The idea of The 946 as jackals, attacking anyone they see fit in the pursuit of Roman Reigns, opens up possibilities for how these subtargets should respond.

Blame The OTC

Roman Reigns may be the World Heavyweight Champion, but that’s no doubt a title that Royce Keys has in his sights when it comes to demolishing The OTC.

The attack on Chad Gable, Rey Fenix and Big Cass is something that shouldn’t go unaddressed by these stars, with the trio seeing Roman Reigns as the reason they’ve become collateral damage.

With just over two weeks to WarGames, any of the three undermining Reigns’ focus on The 946 would serve as another diversion for The Bloodline, particularly if it were Big Cass who was to step up and be a roadblock for the faction.

Orbiting The Bloodline

There’s little doubt that The Bloodline and The 946 are the top feud on WWE Raw, and any star being drawn into their orbit is likely to see greater exposure.

If Gable, Fenix and Cass are unlikely to confront The Bloodline over what happened on Raw, there’s the opportunity that they could stand tall with Reigns ahead of WarGames, hiding in the shadows and unleashing on Keys and company in what will no doubt be a series of attacks in the weeks to come.

The war of attrition

A more satisfying path for all this would be The 946 continuing to attack the Raw roster at a whim, all while making it clear it’s happening because of The Bloodline, and Roman Reigns in particular.

Reigns has indicated that retirement isn’t a distant concept, and the idea of the main roster gunning for the increasingly isolated star after WarGames could be an interesting story to tell. Reigns seeing himself as the top WWE star while he loses everything around him, from to title to family and friends, tells a powerful story of its own.

WarGames and beyond

Whatever happens after the WarGames match, it can only be hoped that, regardless of the victory, the feud between The Bloodline and The 946 continues on the trajectory fans have witnessed so far.

There’s little doubt that Roman Reigns will eventually face off against Royce Keys in a singles match, and for that to be a World Heavyweight Championship outing makes perfect sense when it comes to a potential pass-the-torch moment.
