Roman Reigns made a decisive late appearance in the closing moments of WWE Raw, coming to the aid of The Bloodline as its escalating conflict with 946 erupted into another chaotic fight. The World Heavyweight Champion’s arrival changed the momentum of a confrontation that had initially appeared to be heading toward yet another damaging night for Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa.
By the end of the show, Reigns, The Usos and Sikoa were standing together in the ring while 946 retreated through the crowd. It was a notable visual in a rivalry that has repeatedly seen 946 strike first, isolate members of the family and leave The Bloodline dealing with the consequences. This time, however, 946 was forced to back away after Reigns directly answered a threat from Royce Keys.
The situation began with Jimmy and Jey Uso coming to the ring prepared for a fight. The brothers carried a chair and a bat as they called for 946, making it clear that their patience had run out after a series of attacks against their family. Their frustration was rooted not only in what happened to them, but also in the wider damage caused by 946’s campaign against The Bloodline.
The Usos pointed to the group taking out members of their family over recent weeks, including Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa. The previous week had been particularly significant, as Jimmy, Jey and Sikoa had been laid out after a six-man tag team match involving 946 descended into a brawl. That attack also brought a major development in the story: Carmelo Hayes was revealed as a new member of 946.

With that betrayal and the ensuing beatdown still fresh, Jimmy and Jey approached Raw’s main-event segment with nothing to lose. Rather than waiting for another ambush, they openly invited 946 to confront them. The weapons in their hands reinforced that message, though the confrontation quickly became a numbers game once the opposing faction appeared.
946 Surrounds The Ring
946 did not enter in a conventional fashion. The group emerged from the crowd, creating an uneasy atmosphere as Bronco Nima, Lucien Price and Hayes moved to surround the ring. Royce Keys then positioned himself at the commentary desk, using the moment to taunt The Usos while his allies closed in.
The positioning gave 946 an early advantage, but Sikoa found a way to disrupt it. He appeared behind Keys and swept his legs out, knocking him down and triggering the brawl. From there, the segment accelerated rapidly as the conflict spilled beyond the ropes.
The Usos launched themselves onto members of 946 at ringside with dives to the outside, briefly swinging the fight in The Bloodline’s favor. Inside the ring, Sikoa brought Keys back between the ropes and looked ready to deliver the Samoan Spike. For a moment, it appeared that 946’s spokesman and apparent target of Sikoa’s anger was about to be put down in emphatic fashion.
Hayes prevented that from happening. The newest member of 946 struck Sikoa with a crowbar, stopping the attempted Samoan Spike and allowing the faction to regain control. The use of the crowbar was a sharp reminder of the dangerous edge 946 has brought to its attacks, and it put Sikoa in a vulnerable position as the group looked to capitalize.
Jaida Parker then added another element to the scene by passing a pair of handcuffs to Keys. With Sikoa trapped in the corner, Keys threatened him while holding the cuffs. The moment seemed designed to humiliate Sikoa as much as hurt him, continuing 946’s effort to dismantle The Bloodline through calculated, public attacks.
Royce Keys Calls Out Reigns
Keys’ message was not aimed solely at Sikoa. While confronting him in the corner, Keys issued a direct warning for Roman Reigns, telling Sikoa,
“You tell Reigns I’m coming for his a**.”
That declaration immediately brought out Reigns. The World Heavyweight Champion’s music interrupted the threat, and the reaction shifted the entire tone of the closing segment. Jimmy and Jey Uso, along with Sikoa, were able to get back to their feet and stand beside the man known as the “OTC.”
The sight of Reigns aligned with The Usos and Sikoa was the key image before the final fight began. The Bloodline had spent much of this feud trying to withstand 946’s attacks while shorthanded and under pressure. Reigns’ arrival gave them the reinforcement they had been missing at the moment 946 appeared poised to make another statement.
Reigns wasted little time after entering the ring. He went directly after Keys, who had just made the threat against him. Reigns landed a Superman Punch on Keys, while Sikoa followed with the Samoan Spike. The sequence gave Sikoa a measure of payback after Hayes had stopped his earlier attempt, and it quickly turned the confrontation away from 946.
Reigns then targeted Bronco Nima, taking him down with a spear. With Keys struck by both Reigns and Sikoa and Nima also down, 946 lost the control it had established moments earlier. The faction that had arrived looking to corner The Bloodline instead found itself on the defensive.
As Raw went off the air, Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa remained standing tall in the ring. 946 withdrew through the crowd, marking the first time the group had been run off in this ongoing issue. The retreat did not settle the rivalry, but it provided The Bloodline with a badly needed response after recent weeks in which 946 had dictated the pace.
A Different Ending For The Bloodline
The importance of the ending rests in the contrast with what had happened one week earlier. The prior six-man tag situation broke down into disorder, and The Bloodline were left lying after 946’s assault. The group also had to deal with Hayes joining its opposition, an addition that made 946 both more dangerous and more unpredictable.
On this occasion, The Bloodline was still outnumbered when the action began, and Sikoa was again placed in a precarious position. Hayes’ crowbar shot and Keys’ handcuff threat suggested 946 was ready to repeat its prior success. Reigns’ entrance stopped that pattern before it could fully develop.
His intervention also clarified that Keys’ warning was not going unanswered. Keys specifically invoked Reigns while looming over Sikoa, and Reigns responded in person rather than allowing his allies to face the faction alone. That response gave the final brawl an added layer beyond a simple rescue, as Reigns physically confronted the man who had called him out.
For Jimmy and Jey Uso, the closing image offered a reversal after they began the night demanding a fight because their family had been repeatedly targeted. Their dives helped spark the early melee, but they ultimately needed help when the fight turned against them and Sikoa. Reigns’ return to the scene ensured they did not suffer another ambush at the hands of 946.
Sikoa, meanwhile, played a central role from the moment he attacked Keys at commentary through the final Samoan Spike. He was the figure 946 tried to isolate once Hayes used the crowbar and Parker supplied the handcuffs. Instead, Sikoa was able to stand alongside Reigns and The Usos at the end, part of the united front that forced 946 away.
Questions Remain After Raw’s Final Scene
The final segment gave The Bloodline momentum, but it also leaves the conflict with 946 far from resolved. Hayes remains part of the faction after his recent reveal, and his crowbar attack showed that he is already willing to use any opening available to help the group gain an advantage. Nima, Price, Keys and Parker were also all involved in the confrontation, illustrating the depth of the opposition facing Reigns’ side.
Jacob Fatu’s absence remained part of the context surrounding the segment, as The Usos referenced the family members 946 has taken out. The group’s attacks have not been limited to one target, and that larger history explains why Jimmy and Jey arrived armed and ready to provoke a confrontation rather than wait for 946’s next move.
What Raw established is that Roman Reigns is now directly involved in the fight. 946 had already made itself a problem for The Bloodline, but Keys’ explicit challenge brought the World Heavyweight Champion into the center of the issue. Reigns answered with a Superman Punch, a spear and a show-closing display of unity with his family.
For one night, that unity was enough to send 946 away. Whether the retreat represents a temporary setback or a larger shift in the balance of power remains to be seen. The faction has spent weeks creating chaos and leaving The Bloodline vulnerable. At the end of Raw, Reigns made sure 946 understood that the next phase of the conflict will include him.
