The main event of the New Year’s Revolution episode was something that’ll be remembered for quite a while. Especially by LA Knight. Styles, Orton, and Knight really displayed how deep the SmackDown roster is by putting on an amazing match. And an unintentional highlight was LA Knight lying bloody in the ring.

But there’s someone else, apart from Knight, who’ll remember the match for all the wrong reasons. And it is none other than the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. Just when the adrenaline-pumping match was getting good, the Bloodline decided to interfere and create havoc. They relentlessly attacked the three superstars until SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis decided to bring a twist that no one expected. And now Reigns will have not one but three contenders facing him in a Fatal Four-Way battle for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble.

Will we witness the end of the title reign?

2024 seems to be off to a bad start for the tribal chief. Roman Reigns has been the most dominant force in WWE for the past few years, and along the Bloodline, he has become an unstoppable force. Whether it be winning it clean on his own will or having a little sneaky help from the Bloodline, he has managed to come out victorious in every challenge he faced.

However, it seems like fans might get to finally witness the downfall of the Roman Empire. With the recent interference in the triple threat match, Reigns and the Bloodline have already found themselves in a precarious position, as now the big dog will have to defend the title against three huge names in the promotion, with Orton and Styles being highly skilled veterans.

And with the return of the most electrifying man in sports history, who also happens to be the cousin of the members of Bloodline, it seems like Reigns is in troubled waters. The Rock has already hinted toward sitting at ‘the head of the table’, so even if the tribal chief manages to defend his title in the four-way match, he would have to fight one of the greatest pro-wrestlers of all time.
