The OG Bloodline didn't quite have a four-man reunion as Roman Reigns felt his time was wasted by Jey Uso and Sami Zayn on the November 8th episode of WWE SmackDown.
Roman and Jimmy Uso opened the show, but before Roman could speak, he was interrupting by Jey's music. Jey said that there was a misundertstanding, and wanted Roman to hear out Sami, which brought out Sami.
Sami began by saying that the kick to Roman at WWE Crown Jewel was not on purpose, but made it clear that the only reason he showed up at WWE Crown Jewel was to save Jey. Sami said it has been a long time since he's been in the ring with Roman, and he's thought about all the things he would say and do. He admitted that when they were all in the ring together at WWE Crown Jewel, it was special, and took him back to the time they had together. "A time with family."
"Listen to what he has to say... please." --

Sami said there was part of him that still had a soft spot for the time they shared as the Bloodline. Sami believed the Usos and Roman felt it too. "On some level, you want all of this back." Sami said he doesn't think Roman is indifferent towards him. "I think you love me." Sami pointed out that Roman was smirking and remembering the old days. Sami said it could be like the old days, but the ball was in Roman's court. All Sami needed from Roman was an apology.

Sami then said the apology wasn't for him, he wanted Roman to apologize to Jey.
Roman told Jey, "I'm sorry.....I'm sorry that I ever let you waste my time with this. He's not in our family. He's not blood. He's not honorary. He's not an Uso. It's not about him. It's about SOLO!" Roman then called out Solo.

Jacob Fatu showed up on the screen and said Roman wasn't the Tribal Chief, which makes him just like everybody else. He said Solo moves on his own time and would come out when he pleases. "At the end of the day, you will acknowledge that."
Backstage, Jey confronted Roman and questioned why he didn't hear out Sami. Roman said that Sami means nothing to the family and if Jey wants to hang out with him, he could leave. Jey reminded him that he talked disrespectful again, he was out, but was giving him a pass this time. Jimmy questioned what was going on with Roman, and Roman said he could go be with his brother.
"You talk to me like that, Uce, I'm out! That's your ONE PASS, UCE." --

At WWE Crown Jewel, Sami saved Jey from an attack by The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, & Jacob Fatu). As Roman, the Usos, and Sami had Solo surrounded in the ring, Sami went for a helluva kick as Roman went for a superman punch. Solo moved, and Sami hit Roman.
