This week’s episode of WWE NXT featured an appearance by The Bloodline as they got involved in a tag team match.
WWE announced that The Street Profits would replace the Rascalz on Monday evening. Trey Miguel needed to undergo unexpected minor surgery on Sunday and was pulled from the bout.
Tama Tonga, Loa, and Fatu ambushed both teams during the match, which ended in a no-contest. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that The Bloodline appeared because WWE didn’t want the Street Profits to lose and wasn’t going to change the titles.
Meltzer wrote, “The decision to have the three be involved in the finish was made when the decision was made to put the Street Profits in the match. There had been talk of having the three do a run-in on NXT even before Miguel & Wentz pulled out, but it wasn’t finalized until they needed a way to get out of the finish there.”
It was added that WWE wants the idea out there before moving to the CW that any main roster star could appear unannounced or announced.”
