Roman Reigns and the Bloodline will be opening up Raw tonight per rumors, but that might not be all as another rumor is going around which may or may not be connected to the showing up of Roman and the rest of the Bloodline. As it was recently said by sources on social media; Roman Reigns and the Bloodline will be opening up Raw tonight, but also it looks like we could be in for a good old fashioned street fight as well on tonight’s episode.
Obviously, this could easily be for nothing more than just a gimmick match between anyone, but it would be a bit of a dropped ball if WWE didn’t come through with the goods for either Roman or the Bloodline. That said, there’s a feeling that WWE will be playing it safe and leave the possible street fight to other competitors as the Bloodline do have multiple shows to work.
According to Xero News, who has been breaking these rumors, not only with the opening of tonight’s Raw feature Roman Reigns and the Bloodline, but the street fight rumor has been gaining heavy traction as well, albeit, the reception has been pretty negative in the comment section.
Some fans have called this “lazy booking,” while other fans were quick to point out that they just could not care any less about that type of match. Times are changing.
Regardless, tune in tonight to see what happens and if any of these rumors come true as we head into the January 2nd episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.
