WWE is set to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of RAW tonight. Some plans have been altered for the show. The company has a lot of plans for the massive show. The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is on his way to the Royal Rumble on January 28th, where he will face Kevin Owens. To prepare the Tribal Chief for that war, an “acknowledgement ceremony” was supposed to take place during the 30th Anniversary of WWE RAW.
WWE changed the plans due to illness
Now, WWE has changed up those plans, but it had nothing to do with The Rock not working WrestleMania. The Bloodline’s segment on RAW was switched to the Trial of Sami Zayn instead. There is a very good reason for this, as reported by Dave Meltzer in an F4WOnline daily update. Apparently, Afa and Sika weren’t ready to make the trip, and Rikisihi was sick. So, they nixed the whole thing and replaced it with another interesting segment:
Regarding the questions on the changing of the Bloodline segment for an Acknowledgment ceremony with the family of Roman Reigns to the trial of Sami Zayn, rumors regarding this had to do with The Rock pulling out or Vince McMahon changing things are both false. Rock was never booked for the segment. The change was made because Afa & Sika & Rikishi were all not going to be able to be there. They were to be the key people but Afa & Sika were not ready for the trip and Rikishi got sick this week so the idea basically fell apart. Creative was changed with The Bloodline story on Friday to reflect the change in Raw, a what happened was not what was originally scripted to happen.
