Paul Heyman returned to WWE Smackdown for the first time since being taken out by the new Bloodline. The Wiseman assisted the OG Bloodline when it mattered the most for them. As the OTC's team did not have a fifth member and was ready to be a 4-member team, Heyman returned and claimed that it need not be the case. He returned with CM Punk as the fifth member of the OTC's team.
Earlier in the night, Solo Sikoa asked Roman to acknowledge him to end the fight between the two sides. Backstage on Smackdown, the Usos and Sami discussed with the Roman about their strategies. The OTC felt there wasn't a need for a fifth member. He claimed the four of them were enough to take on the new Bloodline.

Sami Zayn suggested the names of Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes. However, Roman was not happy with them. He ensured the Usos and Sami agreed for them to take on the Bloodline with just them being the team. With the same intensity, they entered the ring.
