The collision course between The 946 and The Bloodline continues to gain momentum on WWE programming, and Royce Keys has made it clear that his group would welcome the chance to take that rivalry into one of the company’s most dangerous environments: WarGames.
The 946 have centered their WWE main-roster mission on The Bloodline since the faction came together. That focus has fueled an increasingly volatile issue between the groups, one that took another significant turn when Roman Reigns entered the situation on the most recent edition of WWE Monday Night RAW. Reigns’ involvement has naturally raised speculation that Survivor Series could provide the setting for a WarGames confrontation between the rival sides.
Nothing has been officially confirmed regarding a WarGames match, its participants, or the exact shape of a potential Survivor Series encounter. But Keys did not hide the appeal of stepping into the double-cage structure alongside his 946 stablemates if the opportunity arrives.
“It’s something we would love to be a part of,” Keys said. “If we are in it, just expect the unexpected, and just take what we’ve done now and multiply it by a hundred.”

That statement fits the tone The 946 have established since arriving on the main roster. The faction has operated with an unpredictable edge while maintaining a clear target in The Bloodline. Rather than presenting themselves as a collection of individuals brought together by convenience, Keys described the group as something rooted in genuine familiarity and shared background.
Keys said he knew every member of The 946 before the group officially formed, stressing that the act is built from real elements of the members’ lives rather than simply a manufactured alliance.
“I knew everybody before we actually all got together,” Keys said. “So, 946 is us. We’ve taken parts of how we grew up and where we’re from and put them together, so it’s something that’s authentic and real.”
That sense of authenticity has become an important part of the group’s identity. WWE factions often succeed or fail based on whether viewers believe the people involved have a natural connection, particularly when the group is placed opposite a long-established powerhouse such as The Bloodline. In Keys’ view, The 946’s collective chemistry is not something that needed to be developed in public. It was already in place before the team name and main-roster spotlight arrived.
The Bloodline, of course, has been defined by its own deep personal history and by the immense presence of Reigns. The group’s family-based foundation has been central to many of WWE’s biggest stories in recent years. By putting The 946 in direct opposition to that unit, WWE has placed a newer faction against a group with enormous experience in high-stakes faction warfare.
Reigns joining the conflict adds another layer to that scenario. His return to the issue gives The Bloodline a powerful centerpiece at precisely the time discussions around Survivor Series and WarGames are intensifying. A match of that type is designed for rivalries that have expanded beyond one-on-one competition, and the developing conflict has the ingredients of a multi-person battle: competing groups, escalating confrontations, and a growing need for an environment that can contain everyone involved.
For Keys, the strength of The 946 is not merely in numbers. He pointed to the different qualities supplied by each member, specifically highlighting Melo and Jaida while comparing the group’s combination of styles to a pot of gumbo.
“We each bring something different,” Keys said. “Melo’s a little pit bull. When I take that leash off him, it’s dangerous. And Jaida, she hits harder than some of the dudes. I always say it’s like a pot of gumbo. You’ve got all these different flavors and mixtures in it, so it’s gonna be hard for our opponents to adapt to it.”
Keys’ description offers a straightforward explanation for why The 946 believe they could thrive in a match as chaotic as WarGames. The structure reduces the possibility of a conventional wrestling contest and puts a premium on timing, resilience, teamwork and adaptation. Different styles can become an advantage once the cage doors close, especially for a faction that views its variety as a defining strength.
Melo’s intensity, as characterized by Keys, represents one part of the equation. Jaida’s physicality represents another. Keys positions himself as the voice able to frame and direct those elements within the larger unit. The group’s internal dynamic, at least from his perspective, is built around complementary personalities and approaches rather than everyone attempting to fill the same role.
That can matter against The Bloodline. Any side hoping to deal with a faction of that magnitude must account for more than one threat at a time. The presence of Roman Reigns makes that challenge even greater, but WarGames has always been a format in which alliances can become just as vital as individual star power. A team that communicates well and enters with a unified purpose has a chance to neutralize some of the advantages usually enjoyed by a dominant group.
Keys’ promise to “multiply” what The 946 have already done by a hundred should not be interpreted as confirmation of any particular stunt, weapon, finish or match development. Instead, it is a broad warning that the faction sees the double cage as a place to elevate its presentation. WarGames has historically encouraged competitors to raise the intensity of their rivalries, and Keys is signaling that The 946 would approach the match as a major opportunity rather than simply another stop in the program.
Survivor Series Speculation Grows as the Rivalry Escalates
WarGames has become synonymous with Survivor Series in WWE’s modern calendar, making it the natural destination whenever multiple factions begin to clash in a sustained way during the fall. The 946 versus The Bloodline is now drawing that type of attention because the dispute has expanded beyond isolated encounters and because Reigns has become part of the story.
Still, the match remains a possibility, not an announced fact. WWE has yet to formally reveal a WarGames contest pitting The 946 against The Bloodline. Until that announcement comes, the most concrete takeaway is that Keys and his group are openly interested in the challenge and eager to use the platform if it is offered.
The potential personnel involved would also be central to the intrigue. WarGames matches are shaped by entries, team composition and the shifting balance of power inside the cage. Reigns’ appearance has made the prospect larger, while Keys’ comments reinforce that The 946 see themselves as fully prepared to meet The Bloodline’s aggression with a disruptive style of their own.
There is also a larger significance for The 946. A WarGames match against The Bloodline would be a high-profile test for a faction still establishing its main-roster legacy. The group’s members have talked about their personal connection, their distinct strengths and their confidence in presenting something different. A major Survivor Series battle would give them a chance to demonstrate all of those qualities under the brightest possible pressure.
At the same time, opposing Reigns and The Bloodline is not merely an opportunity; it is an enormous risk. The Bloodline’s history is built on surviving high-pressure situations and imposing its will on opponents. The 946 would be attempting to prove that its chemistry and unpredictability are enough to challenge an entrenched force with an extensive record of delivering in marquee situations.
The 946’s Identity Could Be Central to Any WarGames Match
Keys’ comments repeatedly returned to identity. He spoke of knowing the people around him before The 946 existed as an official WWE faction. He spoke of bringing pieces of their upbringings and hometown backgrounds into the group. And he described the unit as a mix of different ingredients that opponents will struggle to handle.
That message is especially relevant in a rivalry with The Bloodline. The opposing faction has long presented itself as a group connected by heritage, loyalty and family ties. The 946 are emphasizing a different kind of bond: one based on longstanding personal familiarity and a shared ability to bring distinct traits into the same fight.
Whether that identity ultimately carries The 946 into WarGames remains to be seen. The current direction of the rivalry has encouraged expectations, especially following Roman Reigns’ involvement on RAW, but WWE has not made the matchup official. For now, Keys has delivered a clear public statement of intent.
If The 946 do step inside the WarGames structure against The Bloodline, Keys believes fans should prepare for the group to take everything it has shown so far to a far greater level. It would be a defining opportunity for a faction eager to prove that its shared history, varied skill set and willingness to embrace chaos can stand up to one of WWE’s most formidable forces.
