It isn't exactly going to be celebrations for The Bloodline as they were announced only in the third round of the WWE Draft. Their brand was finally confirmed by the returning legends The Dudley Boyz.
D-Von Dudley was in the RAW WAR Room while Bubba Ray was sitting with Nick Aldis in SmackDown's room. The legendary Dudley Boyz came out to announce the third round of the Draft picks.
The Bloodline was confirmed to be staying on SmackDown. The Bloodline here refers to Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Paul Heyman. Roman Reigns was not included because he voluntarily withdrew from the WWE Draft before the show - as confirmed by Paul Heyman in the beginning.
The overall third-round picks saw zero brand changes. They were:
LA Knight staying on SmackDown
Ricochet staying on RAW
Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Paul Heyman staying on SmackDown
Sheamus staying on RAW.
It felt like a pointless round overall. However, the biggest surprise was the fact that it took three rounds for the legendary Samoan faction to be drafted.
Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga arrived a bit late on SmackDown, with Solo expecting news of the WWE Draft and assuming they had already been drafted. Paul Heyman seemingly had to put something together at the last minute to make sure they got drafted.
It appears as though Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga are heading on a collision course against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton, with the Viper saving Owens and continuing their friendly alliance.
