During the last part of WWE SmackDown on Friday, Roman Reigns made an attempt to reach Paul Heyman, his Wise Man. However, he was inaccessible.
After Bronson Reed allied with the New Bloodline, Reigns decided to phone Heyman at Jey Uso’s encouragement, expressed as “make the call.”
Despite his attempt, Reigns was not able to connect with Heyman as his phone line was disconnected.
The following is a segment from the show:

Bayley was the first woman to get through in the WWE Women’s United States Title Tournament on WWE SmackDown.
During the Friday show, Bayley won against Candice LeRae and B-Fab, making her way to the next round. Her victory was marked by a roll-up pin on B-Fab.
Bayley is now set up to go against the winner of the match between Bianca Belair, Chelsea Green, and Blair Davenport in the semifinals.
Despite being banned from WWE SmackDown, Kevin Owens asserted in a video that he will be present on the show next week.
Earlier in a promo with Cody Rhodes, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis hinted that Owens was suspended until an internal investigation about his actions against Randy Orton concluded.
Owens shared a video on Twitter stating that he was being penalized for his actions against Orton, despite Triple H warning Orton about the potential repercussions.
Owens added that Aldis had invited him to the next Friday’s episode because Cody wanted his presence there.

Bronson Reed assisted the New Bloodline during WWE SmackDown, lending his strength in their onslaught against the Original Bloodline.
The episode on Friday night saw a confrontational showdown between the OG Bloodline, helmed by Roman Reigns, and the nascent faction led by Solo Sikoa.
Despite the OG Bloodline initially having the advantage, the interference from Reed shifted the tide, overpowering Roman Reigns.
The ascendancy quickly moved in favor of the New Bloodline, with Reed landing Tsunamis on the original group.
With both factions requiring a fifth member for the WarGames at Survivor Series, Reed seems to be the top choice for Sikoa’s final team member, although official confirmation from WWE is still pending.
Here is the segment from the show:
