RAW XXX 30th Anniversary Show was set to host the Bloodline Acknowledgement Ceremony. But after recent developments, the segment has been scrapped and replaced.
Every Generation of The Bloodline Was Scheduled To Appear
PW Insider reports that the heavily advertised ‘Bloodline Acknowledgement Ceremony’ for RAW XXX 30th Anniversary Show has been scrapped. The Bloodline Acknowledgement Ceremony was scheduled to have every generation of The Bloodline (the Anoa’i family) present for the official acknowledgement ceremony of ‘The Head of The Table,’ Roman Reigns.
WWE legends such as Rikishi, Samu and the legendary tag-team of Afa and Sika were among the many confirmed to make an appearance. But plans seem to have changed.
The Bloodline Acknowledgement Ceremony is set to be replaced by a ‘Tribal Court’ segment which shall oversee the The Trial of Sami Zayn. This segment will add another layer to the intriguing storyline between ‘The Honorary Uce’ Sami Zayn and the Bloodline. The WWE has expertly told the story of rising fences between Zayn and The Bloodline, with a potential double-cross from either party.

Reason Behind RAW XXX Change of Plans
It is speculated that there are two possible reasons for the sudden change of plans.
First, many assumed that The Bloodline Acknowledgement Ceremony would be the foundational base to set up a feud between the Anoa’i family’s most celebrated wrestler, The Rock versus the Anoa’i family’s self-proclaimed Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. WrestleMania 39 seemed like the perfect stage for such a marquee match with the Championship on the line.
But The Rock recently stated that he would not be fit in time for WrestleMania. Some speculate that The Rock not being able to make it to WrestleMania diminishes the entire purpose of the entire Bloodline Acknowledgement Ceremony.

Meanwhile, others feel that the change of plans is a step in the right direction. The Trial of Sami Zayn would only brew more interest in the dynamic between Zayn and The Bloodline. The Trial becomes even-more must-see after the recent developments on SmackDown.
Last SmackDown, Owens and Reigns were supposed to sign the contract for their Championship match at the Royal Rumble. But all hell broke loose and Owens blind-sided The Bloodline. Sami Zayn was conveniently ‘late to the scene’ while his former best friend Kevin Owens, single-handedly ambushed the entire Bloodline. By the time Zayn had made his way to the ring, the damage had been done. Owens went to the extent of power-bombing the Undisputed WWE Champion, Roman Reigns, through a table.
Even without the Bloodline Acknowledgement Ceremony, RAW XXX is shaping up to be a high-calibre event. The return of WWE legends such as Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Ric Flair, Triple H and Shawn Michaels have been confirmed.
