Tonight was the final stop on the road to the Royal Rumble, and it was a pretty paint-by-numbers episode of

SmackDown Tonight. Roman Reigns was not there.

Roman Reigns is actually in my town tonight. Well, I think you already did earlier today taped an episode of the

Jimmy Fallon show.

But the rest of the bloodline was there tonight.

Sammy Zayn was not supposed to be if you remember what Roman Reigns said on

Raw 30 on Monday night. He was not supposed to be there tonight. The Usos were there, although they ended up getting kicked out of the building, and

Kevin Owens seemingly had a fair fight in front of him because he was supposed to go one-on-one tonight with Solo

Sakoa. So there's no Roman Reigns. Sammy Zayn's not supposed to be there. The Usos got kicked out.

It should have been smooth sailing here for

KO

but it was not to be. Sammy popped up anybody at the end of the show to help out his boy and in

disobeying the tribal chief

Sammy Zayn may well have sealed his fate tonight. So even though overall this like I said a pretty paint-by-numbers episode of SmackDown

It may end up being a very important episode of SmackDown in the

progression of the bloodline story depending on where this ends up going

because Sammy Zayn disobeyed a direct order

from the tribal chief

Speaking of Sammy Zayn

He conducted an interview where he sat down for an interview I should say with Ariel Helwani

Part one of which dropped earlier today and it was a very good interview and I'm going to be getting into it here in just a little bit

I'm going to be talking about that
