Sunday's WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2022 pay-per-view marked another monumental victory for Roman Reigns and The Usos, who got the better of Drew McIntyre and RK-Bro in a six-man tag match.
The Bloodline defeated McIntyre and the Raw Tag Team Champions in the show's main event, which ended via pinfall after Reigns delivered a Spear to Riddle. Even though The Bloodline is still at the peak of their reign, The Tribal Chief warned fans on Monday that WrestleMania Backlash could have been their final match together.
On his Instagram page, Reigns posted a video and talked about The Bloodline's latest win. Perhaps the most noteworthy part of this video was where Reigns addressed the possibility of The Bloodline never teaming up in a six-person tag match again (transcriptions via WrestlingNews.co):
"What’s in my brain already..what if that is the last six-man tag you ever see The Bloodline do? I believe when it comes to TV and it being broadcast for the entire world to see, that’s only the second one. Y’all freaking out (Laughs). Don’t worry, The Tribal Chief loves you. I’m not going anywhere…unless I am who knows? Anyways, what if that was the last one. Look at it, there’s so much riding on us....
You’ve been seeing this. The proof is in whether you like it or not, you love it and we already know you respect it because you acknowledge it everywhere we go. Think about that, if that’s the last one, we already know y’all are going to miss us because we’re the greatest to ever do it. It’s because we’re The Bloodline."

Initially, WWE announced that RK-Bro would face The Usos in a tag team titles unification match. The company wound up moving away from that plan, of course, by adding Reigns and McIntyre to the bout. Apparently, WWE plans to wait until one of the upcoming stadium pay-per-views to run the Reigns-McIntyre title showdown. Those upcoming stadium events are: Money in the Bank 2022 on July 2 (Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada), SummerSlam 2022 on July 30 (NIssan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee) and Clash at the Castle on Sept. 3 (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales).
This Shouldn't Be It For The Bloodline
The Bloodline is far and away the best faction WWE has right now, and quite frankly, Vince McMahon has no reason to consider splitting them up.
ven if WWE decides to not have them wrestle in a six-person tag match again (this feels very unlikely, though), there's no reason for WWE to split up the trio. Reigns and The Usos have already accomplished so much together, and there'd be no easy way of replacing the star power and attention these three provide in the ring together.
