• “Small Men Bark Loud” – Another Real-Life Bloodline Member Reacts To CM Punk’s Controversial Promo On Roman Reigns
During their latest segment on RAW, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk crossed the line with Roman Reigns by saying the following: “I’m gonna bury you next to your father.”
As we previously noted, real-life Bloodline member Zilla Fatu (son of late WWE veteran Umaga) saw this segment and said the following: “I am not a CM Punk fan no more. I’m about to slap CM Punk when I see him. When I see you CM Punk, I’m gonna slap the f**k out of you.”
Another real-life Bloodline member, Nia Jax, has commented on this situation. Here’s what the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion said on the Beyond the Bell podcast:
“I think small men bark loud. In that moment, he was probably feeling a little confident. It’s funny because you see him walk away right after he says that line.
That doesn’t bother me, because I know what my family is physically capable of. We’ve shown it over the last three decades what our family is capable of. So that’s fine.
He can speak all he wants, but when it comes down to it, the person who will be reigning over Phil will be none other than The OTC.”

• 2 WWE Hall Of Famers Confirm They Will Appear At WrestleMania 42
Nikki Bella and Brie Bella will appear at WrestleMania 42. During an interview on Access Daily, the Hall of Fame sisters told Mario Lopez that they’ll be in Las Vegas for the two-night event at Allegiant Stadium.
This news has fans wondering if we’ll see them back in the ring together. Even though Brie made a comeback for the Women’s Royal Rumble in January, the twins haven’t actually wrestled as a tag team since that night. Nikki mentioned that while she was in Vegas for WrestleMania last year, having both of them involved this year is going to make the atmosphere even more unreal.
While they didn’t specify if they’re wrestling a match or just doing special appearances, Nikki made it clear that “the Bellas are going to be in it” for the biggest weekend of the year.
On RAW after Royal Rumble 2026, The Bella Twins made it clear that they are coming for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship because they are the original women’s tag team.
• WWE Planning RAW Title Change At WrestleMania 42
According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE wants to put the World Tag Team Titles on The Vision. If Bron Breakker is cleared to return in time to face Seth Rollins, then Logan Paul and Austin Theory are expected to take on The Usos for the World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 42.
The seeds for this match were planted on this week’s RAW, when Theory and Paul ganged up on Jimmy Uso, which led to Jey Uso making the save. If this tag team match happens, expect Logan and Austin to become the new champions.
However, if Breakker fails to return before the Show of Shows, then WWE is expected to move forward with Seth Rollins vs. Logan Paul at WrestleMania 42.
