WWE announces 946 faction debut against The Bloodline

WWE has announced that the new faction 946, consisting of Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, and Lucien Price, will make its in-ring debut in a dark match following the October 2 SmackDown event in Denver. The group is scheduled to face The Bloodline members Jacob Fatu, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso in a six-man tag team match.

The rivalry between 946 and The Bloodline has intensified following several recent incidents, including the abduction of Solo Sikoa prior to his Money in the Bank qualifying match. Future matches involving 946 have also been advertised, including a bout on October 9 in Lafayette featuring Seth Rollins, Solo Sikoa, and LA Knight against the faction.

While The Bloodline remains a central figure in the storyline, Roman Reigns was notably omitted from the upcoming dark match lineup in Denver. Internal WWE rosters still list The Bloodline members as heels despite recent shifts in their onscreen dynamics.
