The Bloodline’s ongoing war with 946 took another dramatic turn on the September 28 episode of WWE RAW when Jacob Fatu was taken out of action in a shocking angle involving Jaida Parker.
Parker ran down Fatu with a car before revealing that she had joined 946, leaving The Bloodline with another problem to solve. WWE has not announced how long Fatu will be unavailable, but his absence creates an interesting opening in the faction rivalry.
Roman Reigns and The Usos remain involved in the conflict, but WWE could decide to introduce another major name to keep the story moving while Fatu is away.
One potential option is Seth Rollins.
Jacob Fatu’s Absence Changes The Bloodline’s Situation
Jacob Fatu has been an important part of The Bloodline’s involvement in the growing conflict with 946. His physical presence gives the group another dangerous competitor alongside Roman Reigns and The Usos.
That changed dramatically on RAW.
Jaida Parker’s attack not only removed Fatu from the immediate storyline but also revealed a major development involving 946. Parker’s decision to join the faction added another layer to a feud that has already involved attacks and confrontations between the two sides.
From a storytelling perspective, Fatu’s absence leaves WWE with several possible directions. The company could keep The Bloodline focused on Roman Reigns and The Usos, introduce a new member, or bring back a familiar star who already has history with Reigns.
Seth Rollins fits the third category particularly well.
Seth Rollins Has History With Roman Reigns
Rollins and Reigns share one of the most important relationships in modern WWE history. Both were members of The Shield alongside Dean Ambrose, later known as Jon Moxley, before becoming major singles stars.
The former Shield teammates have also spent years as rivals.
Their most recent major confrontation came at SummerSlam, where Rollins faced Reigns in a World Heavyweight Championship match. The two former Shield members battled in a high-profile encounter before their relationship took an unexpected turn after the match.
Rather than continuing the rivalry immediately, Reigns and Rollins shared the iconic Shield fist bump.
That moment provided an emotional closing chapter to their latest confrontation and could potentially make a future alliance more believable.
Rollins Does Not Necessarily Need to Join The Bloodline
If WWE does bring Rollins into the storyline, the company would not necessarily need to make him an official member of The Bloodline.
That distinction could be important.
The Bloodline is built around Roman Reigns and his family connections, while Rollins has his own identity and history within WWE. Having him become another official member could change the nature of the faction.
Instead, Rollins could simply become an ally of Reigns and The Usos for the duration of their conflict with 946.
That scenario would allow WWE to use Rollins’ popularity and established connection with Reigns without permanently changing The Bloodline’s structure.
It could also create an interesting dynamic because Rollins would be fighting alongside a former rival rather than returning as an outright opponent.
Why Seth Rollins Could Fit the 946 Story
Another reason Rollins could work in the storyline is the current presentation of 946.
The faction has already targeted members connected to The Bloodline, including Solo Sikoa. The group has now been linked to the attack that removed Fatu from the storyline, while Parker’s reveal has further intensified the conflict.
That gives WWE a straightforward reason for another babyface to step into the fight.
Rollins could return to television with a simple motivation: he sees the escalating attacks and decides that 946 has crossed a line.
Such a story would not require him to suddenly become close friends with Reigns. Instead, it could be based on a temporary common enemy.
That would also preserve the history between the former Shield members while giving WWE a fresh direction for Rollins.
Rollins Has Already Returned to In-Ring Action
One factor that makes the possibility particularly interesting is Rollins’ recent activity outside WWE television.
Although he had not appeared on WWE television since SummerSlam, Rollins returned to in-ring action during the company’s South American tour earlier in September.
He teamed with LA Knight and Solo Sikoa against Jacob Fatu and The Usos during the tour.
That detail creates an unusual possibility for his eventual television return.
Rollins could go from wrestling against Fatu and The Usos during the tour to standing alongside them in the larger storyline. WWE could use that contrast as part of the narrative, particularly if Fatu remains unavailable.
It would also give Rollins an immediate connection to the people involved in the Bloodline-946 conflict rather than introducing him into the story without any recent context.
A Babyface Rollins Could Strengthen The Bloodline’s Side
Rollins’ current babyface positioning could also make the potential matchup logical.
If WWE continues presenting 946 as the aggressor in the storyline, Rollins would have a natural reason to oppose the faction without changing his character.
The Visionary could remain an individual competitor rather than becoming a permanent Bloodline member. His objective could simply be to stop 946 from continuing its attacks.
This approach would also protect Rollins’ individual identity. He would still be Seth Rollins, not another member of Roman Reigns’ faction.
At the same time, the alliance could produce several interesting combinations, particularly if WWE decides to put Rollins, Reigns and The Usos in multi-man matches against 946.
Rollins and Reigns Could Create a Different Dynamic
The most intriguing element of a potential Rollins return would be his relationship with Reigns.
The two men have experienced nearly every possible stage of a WWE relationship. They began as members of The Shield, became major rivals and later crossed paths again as established singles stars.
Their SummerSlam encounter appeared to close another chapter in their rivalry when they shared the Shield fist bump.
If Rollins now returns to help Reigns, WWE could explore what that gesture actually meant.
The company would not need to erase their history. In fact, their history could make the alliance more interesting. Fans would understand that the two men have a complicated relationship, but they could still work together when facing a common threat.
That could provide the storyline with an emotional element beyond the usual faction-versus-faction setup.
WWE Has Several Options for Jacob Fatu’s Replacement
Rollins is only one potential option if WWE wants to compensate for Fatu’s absence.
The company could instead introduce another wrestler into The Bloodline’s side of the story or simply allow the existing members to continue the feud without adding anyone.
Keeping the group unchanged would allow Roman Reigns and The Usos to remain the central figures, while Fatu’s absence could become part of the ongoing story.
Alternatively, adding a major star would immediately increase the scale of the rivalry and give WWE another recognizable name to promote around the feud.
Rollins has the advantage of already having a major history with Reigns and recent in-ring involvement with some of the same wrestlers involved in the storyline.
What Could a Seth Rollins Return Look Like?
If WWE chooses this direction, the simplest route would be to have 946 target Roman Reigns and The Usos again before Rollins makes the save.
Another possibility would be for Rollins to confront 946 directly and make it clear that he does not intend to become a member of The Bloodline. Instead, he could establish that he is there because he wants to stop the faction.
That would create an immediate storyline without requiring a lengthy explanation.
WWE could then build toward a multi-man match featuring members of The Bloodline and Rollins against 946. Such a match would allow the company to establish whether the alliance is temporary or could become something more significant.
The biggest question would be how long Fatu remains absent. If his return is expected to happen quickly, WWE may not need a long-term replacement. If the storyline keeps him away for an extended period, Rollins could provide a recognizable addition to the feud.
Nothing Has Been Confirmed About Rollins Joining the Story
Despite the connections, there is currently no confirmed announcement that Seth Rollins will return to television as part of The Bloodline’s war with 946.
The idea remains a potential storyline direction based on Rollins’ recent history with Roman Reigns, his babyface positioning and his recent return to live-event competition.
WWE could ultimately choose a completely different direction for both Rollins and Fatu. The company may also decide that Reigns and The Usos are enough to continue the feud while Fatu is away.
For now, the biggest confirmed development is that Fatu’s sudden removal has created uncertainty around the next stage of the Bloodline-946 rivalry.
Final Verdict
Jacob Fatu’s absence could give WWE an opportunity to introduce another major name into The Bloodline’s growing conflict with 946, and Seth Rollins has several connections that make the idea possible.
Rollins’ history with Roman Reigns, their recent SummerSlam encounter and the former Shield members’ post-match fist bump provide a storyline foundation for an alliance. His recent live-event matches with members of the wider Bloodline group also give WWE another connection to use.
However, Rollins joining the feud remains speculation rather than a confirmed WWE plan. Whether WWE chooses Rollins, another wrestler or simply continues with Reigns and The Usos will determine how the Bloodline-946 rivalry develops while Fatu is unavailable.
