Triple H made subtle changes before Roman Reigns' loss at Crown Jewel: All you need to know about backstage Bloodline replacement

WWE Crown Jewel 2024 kicked off with the ultimate clash of Tribal Chiefs as Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa engaged in a faction war. However, the match did not end in favor of The Original Tribal Chief, as Sikoa pinned him clean to secure the big win for his stable.

The closing moments of the match saw Solo Sikoa and company outnumbering Roman Reigns and The Usos. Sami Zayn rushed out to help Jey Uso, and to prove his loyalty, he chose to be part of OG Bloodline. Things took a turn for the worse when, while helping, Zayn mistakenly connected a Helluva Kick on Roman instead of Solo, causing tension within the faction.

Fans are still shocked to see Roman Reigns taking the pin in his second match since his return to WWE. There is a strong possibility that Michael Hayes was probably on leave. The legend has been known to produce many of Reigns' matches in the past.

Sources close to WWE told Sportskeeda that Jamie Noble produced the six-man tag team match. Also, the entire Bloodline match was given a run time of 30 minutes, which included the entrances, the entire match, and post-bout chaos.
