Jacob Fatu, who has been sidelined for over a month, is reportedly “not far off” from his on-screen return, and that means The Bloodline is about to be back at full strength just in time for a massive WarGames showdown. Fans have been waiting, and it looks like the payoff is coming.
The Bloodline Gets Its Enforcer Back for WarGames
Remember that wild night on September 28th’s Raw? Fatu got shockingly hit by a car in the parking garage, with Jaida Parker behind the wheel. She played it off like an accident at first, but then, BAM, she revealed she’s part of Royce Keys’ 946 faction. Fatu’s been off TV since, but The Bloodline and 946 rivalry has only gotten hotter, dominating Raw for weeks now. Carmelo Hayes and Cruz Montana even jumped ship to 946, giving them a numbers advantage that’s just been gnawing at us.
But with Fatu coming back, everything changes. He’s already filmed promotional stuff for a WarGames match at Survivor Series alongside Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso. That means we’re looking at a full-blown five-on-five slugfest against Keys, Hayes, Montana, Bronco Nima, and Lucien Price. While WWE hasn’t officially announced it, every sign points to this WarGames match being a go. You know how sometimes WarGames matches feel forced? Not this one. This feud is absolutely tailor-made for that double-cage chaos, and Fatu’s return brings the intensity we’ve all been craving.
AJ Styles: Not Running the Show (Yet), But He’s Still The Phenomenal One
Shifting gears, there’s been some chatter around WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles and his role at the WWE Performance Center. Reporter Andrew Baydala recently spilled that Styles had been “quietly running things” at the PC for months. But hold up, a new report from Fightful Select, citing a WWE PC source, says that’s not exactly true. The source clarified that Styles hasn’t been “running things,” although he *did* recently “fill in to finish a class.”
What’s clear, though, is that The Phenomenal One is a “constant and positive presence” at the PC. You know he’s bringing that veteran knowledge, right? They fully expect him to “continue to gain influence.” Styles retired from in-ring competition back in January, and he’s been working backstage ever since. There’s even talk from Cory Hays that when Bruce Prichard retires next year, NXT head Shawn Michaels is expected to take over creative, and then Styles would step into Michaels’ NXT and WWE PC role. For now, it sounds like he’s more of a super-helpful mentor than the head honcho.
CM Punk Is Stepping Into John Cena’s House
And in other news that just dropped, CM Punk himself confirmed he’s gonna be part of two huge upcoming WWE shows! He commented on a WWE Instagram post, straight up saying, “I’m gonna work both shows.” We’re talking about the John Cena Classic on December 14th and Worlds Collide on December 15th, both happening at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida.
John Cena spilled more details about his Classic on Raw just this Monday. He showed off the John Cena Classic Championship belt and, get this, Cody Rhodes is his first invitee! But with Punk confirming his presence, you know things are about to get even more interesting at the John Cena Classic.
So, what are we waiting for? Fatu’s return to Raw is “not far off,” which means that WarGames match is practically a lock for Survivor Series. Then we’ve got the John Cena Classic on December 14th and Worlds Collide on December 15th, where CM Punk is confirmed to be in action. It’s gonna be a wild few months, folks. You ready for it?
