WWE Rhea Ripley proposed an alliance to Paul Heyman on tonight’s episode (October 6) of WWE SmackDown between the Bloodline and Judgment Day.
In a tense backstage segment, the Bloodline found Judgment Day occupying ‘their’ private locker room.
With Rhea Ripley commanding the rest of the members of both Judgment Day and the Bloodline to leave the room, she sought to speak to Paul Heyman, alone.
It was in a later segment when she had Heyman alone that she proposed the Judgment Day and the Bloodline make a working alliance with one another.
When Heyman noted he needed to call ‘his Tribal Chief’ for approval, Rhea Ripley instead encouraged Paul Heyman to acknowledge HER.
Later in the SmackDown main event, LA Knight was set to take on Jimmy Uso however shortly after the match began, the Judgment Day made an entrance.
With the entire faction approaching Heyman and Sikoa who were supporting Jimmy Uso at ringside, Heyman outstretched his hand to Rhea Ripley.
“Authorized,” he said as the pair shook hands and an alliance between the Bloodline and Judgment Day was cemented.
With John Cena (who was at ringside with LA Knight) and Knight cornered by a mega-squad of baddies, they weren’t outnumbered for long.
Soon enough the pair had been joined by Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes before a brawl ensued.
Interestingly however, Paul Heyman attempted to guide only Solo Sikoa out of harms way, not wanting him to participate in the brawling at all.
Instead when Cena was alone in the ring, Sikoa turned back (seemingly unauthorized) where he was able to fight off Cena but would be dumped out of the ring by LA Knight shortly thereafter.
