Roman Reigns and The Bloodline arrive on Raw in Air Jordan 12 ‘Bloodline’ on Nov. 9

Roman Reigns and members of The Bloodline appeared at the November 9 episode of Monday Night Raw wearing Air Jordan 12 sneakers as Jacob Fatu returned from injury and the group confronted Royce Keys’ 946 faction.

The footwear stood out for its black-and-red styling linked to The Bloodline’s identity and coincided with a major segment on the red brand. The Air Jordan 12 debuted in 1996 and was designed by Tinker Hatfield, featuring stitched side panels inspired by the Japanese Rising Sun flag and introducing full-length Zoom Air cushioning to the Air Jordan line. The model also figures in Michael Jordan’s 1997 ‘Flu Game’, when he scored 38 points against the Utah Jazz. Nike’s Jordan Brand gifted Reigns an early pair ahead of his WrestleMania main event match against CM Punk; Reigns unboxed the pair on X (Twitter), saying: “The Bloodline, baby, that’s where it all started.” WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns later gave an on-foot look at the upcoming Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline”, currently expected May 23rd for $215 retail, with the sneaker available via the Nike SNKRS app and select Jordan Brand retailers and priced at $215 for men’s sizes and $155 for Grade School sizes.

The sneaker reveal preceded the episode’s focal confrontation between Reigns and Royce Keys’ 946 faction. A video package showed The Usos and Solo Sikoa outside the arena joined by the returning Jacob Fatu, and the group had set fire to The 946’s truck before making their way toward the ring.

Inside the arena Reigns initially engaged Keys and other members of The 946, but numbers caught up with him and the segment escalated into a full-scale brawl when The Bloodline arrived. Jacob Fatu made an immediate impact on the encounter, flattening Carmelo Hayes and then delivering a top-rope splash that sent Hayes crashing through the commentary table.

The returning Samoan Werewolf’s involvement swung momentum in The Bloodline’s favour as the two groups continued their rivalry. With The 946 in retreat, Reigns took a microphone and issued an official challenge to Royce Keys and his faction for a WarGames Match at Survivor Series.

The challenge confirmed that The Bloodline will face Royce Keys’ 946 inside a WarGames Match at Survivor Series on November 28 in Houston, Texas.
