In-Ring Segment: The Bloodline

Sami Zayn is off on his own on one side of the ring, while the rest of The Bloodline is on the other side. Reigns tells the crowd to acknowledge him. Reigns tells Paul Heyman to get on with it. The crowd chants, “ECW.” Heyman notes that those three letters are near and dear to his heart, but ECW is dead, just like he wishes Sami Zayn was. Heyman accuses Zayn of being at the head of a conspiracy with Kevin Owens from day one. He shows video evidence of Zayn being suspect, including lightly shoulder-bumping Reigns in the ring a few weeks ago. Heyman says it was essentially assault. Heyman says Zayn is guilty as charged, and the prosecution rests its case.

Zayn stands up and says he had a whole defense lined up in his head. What he didn’t count on was how he was going to feel sitting out here listening to Heyman say all those things. After all the times Heyman has hugged him and told him he loved him… this all hurts. The people see it. They have been seeing it for the last nine months. His defense is that he has no defense. Zayn tosses the mic at the table and sits back down. An incredulous Reigns lays into Zayn for having so much ego that he wont even fight for this. Reigns yells for Solo. Solo Sikoa walks up behind Zayn and sets up a Samoan Spike. Jey Uso stops him, to everyone’s surprise.

Jey says no disrespect, but he put together his own tape for evidence. Jey put together a defense video for Zayn, showing all the times he’s stuck his neck out for the Bloodline. Zayn gets teary-eyed watching it. Jey gets emotional and says Zayn has taken so many bullets for them. He’s basically bulletproof. He didn’t trust Zayn but Zayn still saw the good in him. That video showed Zayn’s loyalty.

Jey tells Zayn he loves him like a brother and tells everyone who wants Zayn to stay in The Bloodline to throw the ones to the sky. Both Usos and the entire crowd throw up the ones. Reigns finds Zayn not guilty. For now. Reigns tells Zayn to thank Jey because he bought him more time. Reigns tells Zayn he doesn’t want to see him after tonight until the Royal Rumble. At the Royal Rumble, Zayn will face his final test. Then we will see if Zayn is Bloodline or not.
