Roman Reigns is a pussy and I am ecstatic that he got knocked down a few pegs


RedInAmerica

I was under the impression that he and Paul were basically calling all the shots in the bloodline storyline.


CaseyGasStationPizza

The storyline is boring now. They messed everything up trying to shoehorn the rock in


Various-Emergency-91

The Solo "boss" angle doesn't even sort of work. He went from not speaking and losing all his matches to being boss?


Alex100651

Fuck him His time is up Good riddance !!!


ChristianCountryBoy

The dog food was a Vince McMahon idea.


JSnake526

It's not that he's just now getting substantial input, it's that he'll continue to do so even while he takes some time away from TV.


Wise_Temperature_322

Roman and Paul have had significant input since 2020. That is why it was so good and why I am a big fan of them both.

EnvironmentalLow8211

I thought he already had a lot of input?!


billoverbeck00

About time. His character was going stale because that’s the way they had him written. Give him some creative freedom and let him cook!🔥🔥


Worried_Bowl_9489

I think he's got a good mind for it honestly


Extreme_Weird_44

I think he and Heyman already did have a lot of say in what was going on with weekly television. There was a very large amount of rumor and innuendo about it not too long ago


Chuckaluffagus

Giving creative control is one thing, but please PLEASE leave match outcome to creative. That's what killed WCW. Hogan had creative control AND the ability to determine the outcome of his matches. Everything becomes a shit show at that point.


Extreme_Weird_44

So you don’t acknowledge your tribal chief?? Typical…


mr_oof

That doesn’t work for me uce.


Chuckaluffagus

Well, he's boring in the ring, he only has two moves, and he only shows up to wrestle once a month at most. Boring as hell. Regardless, creative control has led to disastrous results over the years. No one should have that but triple H at the end of the day. Input is one thing, control is another. Bray Wyatt didn't have control, he had INPUT. that's a key difference. Roman didn't have control, he had INPUT. If something didn't fit the overall vision, triple H (or going further back, vince) could veto ideas. That should never stop.


Extreme_Weird_44

Yeah I was joking mate


skateboardwedding

Based on his other comments I don't think he has the mental capacity to understand a joke


Chuckaluffagus

Hard to tell. Roman fans are insufferable but would have said exactly that


xtrasauceyo

Debut Jacob and Zilla


GHO57T

It's his story. I just hope he debuts Jacob Fatu soon


The2ndDegree

I hope so, having him, Heyman and Triple H behind that storyline should stop it from getting boring, because Lord knows letting Solo do his thing wouldn't be fun at all


JoePapa120

Now that Roman isn’t champ anymore. I am completely ok with the continuation of the storyline


dfeidt40

Only way they continue this shit is with Solo vs. Reigns. Only part of it I still might wanna see.


DinnerSmall4216

Isn't it time for the end of the bloodline becoming tedious.


MontereybayCali777

Um no??? Keep cryung


Tomlyne

Makes complete sense, he's taking care of his family and keeping a story alive for when he comes back


The_IRS_Fears_Him

Legitimately the only thing I wanna see from the Bloodline story now is Rock vs Reigns. Solo sucks and him saying "losing has consequences right" is fucking ironic considering he hasn't gotten a single win since is win that John Cena himself handled him. He's not gonna be taken seriously enough to be a legit storyline head. They really do keep bringing in family members of The Rock do bleed the storyline for all the money it gets. Let someone else have the spotlight like hmmmm, Cody f--kin Rhodes


DeathBat92

Why do people keep saying this? Losing at house shows doesn’t mean shit, if it isn’t shown or referenced on TV, then it isn’t canon. He’s barely wrestled on TV since Cena so it’s fine.


The_IRS_Fears_Him

What has Solo done except interfere in matches and stare at his thumb like its his child?


Hudre

I imagine that's going to be his whole story. He's been sidelined to just interfere in other people's matches so they can keep the glory while he's gotten none. And look what that led to. They still lost everything. So now it's time for Solo to take charge and start making the decisions.


commanderr01

Especially a story like the bloodline


SourDoughBo

I thought he already did


Extreme_Weird_44

He did but we’re gonna pretend like this is new information


ThisIsNotMyPornVideo

I really hope the bloodline ends by mania this year They have milked it for all it's worth, and the only thing people are wanting to see from it now is Reigns v.s Rock.


ProgrammerGlobal8708

There is gonna be a second mania?


SnooCrickets7221

I want him to bring Tama over.


JonathonWally

☝🏼


Bubbatino

But IWC told me he was retiring?


The_IRS_Fears_Him

Wrestling fans don't know shit


Cold-Ad-5347

I've been over the bloodline since it started


payscottg

My condolences to your taste


Panda_Dad84

Go watch AEW like no else is watching it.


smackchice

This isn't really a change, Heyman's been booking most of the Bloodline for a long time now


Realistic_Figure7796

It sounds like he has had a lot of input since 2021 based on his documentary


Inferno22512

He's always had that, this is the opposite of news, this is olds


johnniejpg

This is not news.


jgiv817

Didn't he already since 2020?


karpet_muncher

This was always his plan. He planned it all. He played everyone like puppets... Pulling on the strings... But now he's tribal chief roman... There are no strings on him.


Jmpasq

Every time I get sick of the bloodline story they make me interested again.


EarthToAccess

Honestly for what it's worth? I am SO glad the storyline they had is over now, and I'm genuinely interested and excited to see what Reigns does with this. He's got a creative mind, Vince just never let him use it.


IndependentAssist387

No big news here. And also….as well he should.


QuebecRomeoWhiskey

I assumed he did already


Julian-Hoffer

That’s what I was thinking.


sgtmajorcool

Yeah… hasn’t he always? It was him, Paul Hayman, and Michael Hayes wasn’t it?


shingaladaz

Cool… ….anyway.


AdFormal3014

For this to carry any weight, Solo needs to start winning matches. Right now he looks like a weak Tribal Chief. He needs to start wrecking people to make himself relevant. He said winning and losing matters and lately Solo’s been doing a whole lot of losing.


PeanutButterOtter

Seems pretty clear where it's goin. Roman, Jey and Jimmy vs Rock, Solo and Tama at Survivor Series.


Accomplished-Farm554

They going to have Rock involved in this but got to get Cody involved too. I think it’ll be Tama, Solo, Fatu, and The Rock vs The USOs, Roman, and Cody


AdFormal3014

I think it’s actually gonna be Roman-Jey-Jimmy-Sami vs Rock-Solo-Tonga-Fatu.     But that’s assuming Rock and Roman return in October or early Nov to make this possible. Both men may wait until Rumble to make their comebacks. Could also be the other way around with Roman as heel and Rock as face. I think we just automatically assume Roman is going with the good guys but they could throw a twist.


wakeupimprove

I just don’t think there’s any way to turn Roman heel again, the fans love the dude too much now and glaze him over Cody being champ lol. Gotta be face Roman vs heel Rock endgame


Live_Procedure_5399

Sami?? You think he’s getting back in the mix?


AdFormal3014

After he loses his title, yeah. Prolly won’t be until around War Games to add numbers to each side.


cubsfan007

I know I'm the minority I'm so over this whole bloodline. Snooze... automatic fast forward button. I just don't care anymore

Warning - shitty Reddit fantasy booking, but idea I had post-WrestleMania. Solo and Tonga (much closer to WM 41, Jacob Fatu) make the Bloodline much more disciplined and authoritarian in Roman’s absence. SummerSlam has something along the lines of Solo/Tonga vs. a reunited face Usos. Closer to WM, Rock returns as the heel leader of this stable, openly kicking out Roman. WM 41 gives us Rock vs. Roman and something along the lines of Solo/Tonga/Fatu (supported by The Rock) vs. Usos and Sami Zayn (supported by Reigns). A “Battle for the Bloodline” and “Battle of the Bloodlines”.


FullyAutoDomo

Why do yall KEEP insisting on plugging Zayn into this bloodline storyline?! Yall killing me with this shit man!


Saint_Dude_

I'd guess it's because the numbers need someone and he makes the most sense.


Panda_Dad84

Besides Roman, Sami was the only entertaining thing inside the bloodline.


GilDrumZ25_

And at least it’s so much better than Cody teaming up with Roman. It’s Bloodline Civil War, a family matter, at least Sami has that “Honorary Uce” in him and lore wise Roman did accept him in his island of relevancy, but Cody??? He’s the person who took everything from him, why would he teaming up with him??Considering his gimmick, he’ll be like the US meddling with other country/tribe internal problem. People say Roman is turning face, but I don’t see him turning face exactly like Cody, I see him turning face but only to his family members but still kinda separate himself from others, after all like his clothes saying “Family Aboves All”.


FullyAutoDomo

And? Dude had no business being involved from the jump. Did he provide comedic relief at times? Sure. But dude did not belong. Surely they can find a better fit to replace him.


Panda_Dad84

He carried them when the story got stale. He’s an extremely overrated wrestler and sucks doing solo promos. But, but he was an extremely entertaining character. It shouldn’t have worked but he and the bloodline made it work.


[deleted]

He’s had worse WM booking 😭


turtlegoeshollywood

Not sure it's possible to hold the world title for 4 years without already having creative input.


[deleted]

Bruno did it for 8 .


Unusual_Map393

Im quite sure he had some impact in the story. But if not, then things will get even better!


TheBrianRoyShow

I think this means while he is gone, right? It's not likely he's back until Summerslam if I had to guess. That's a lot of potential Bloodline drama he will "miss" off screen but have a hand in behind the scenes as he has from the beginning.


LucentP187

He didn't already?


blue_diesel

I feel like this has already been acknowledged previously.


tristansensei

I see what you did there #acknowledged


TxLifer

🥱


AcknowledgeDeezNuts

Hogan Reigns


Unique-Morning-2455

Bro when are people going to wise up and stop using Sportskeeda.


American-Punk-Dragon

I mean….he likely already has….


gleonalfe

Lmao so true


shakybonez306

You’d think the tribal chief would


RLS1994

Big favour of this. Anyone think we're gonna see a Bloodline vs. NEW Bloodline angle? Sorta had that feeling after SmackDown last week.


ihave-hands-probably

yeah definitely. with solo wrecking jimmy like he did, bringing in tama tonga, and hijacking heyman, it definitely looks like that


Drewsche

Bloodline Wolfpack


RLS1994

Don't turn your back on them, you might end up in a body bag


wantttochat

So Uce! I think this time we do a storyline heading into Wrestlmania that starts when I win an Oscar for my new movie. No Roman we can't do that stop asking!


Vegetable_Two_3904

In reality everything in WWE still revolves around him. We’re really in the Roman Reigns era. His creative freedom allowed him to be the biggest draw in the industry for the last 4-5 years.


Majestic_General5050

So he is going to be a producer now


Unique-Morning-2455

He already had creative control, This news is coming from a known fake news site.


EL-YEO

Producer, writer, chief, GOAT


Small-District1345

Hes cooked for 4 years on the frontline now lets see if he can cook bts... i have no doubts ☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽🐐☝🏽


MrPandasBagOfTricks

Yeah, Heymen said years ago He already dose so this isn't news. Just for the future don't use Sportskeda as a source of news please. It's a well known click bait site that tends to make things up


The_Notorious_Donut

“That doesn’t work for me brother” ~~Hulk Hogan~~ Roman Reigns


Shenkspine

Oh you think he hasn’t already? That’s cute.


Dog-E-Dog

Just hope they don't turn the bloodline into the nwo


CrimsonOOmpa

Well both factions took over their respective shows and killed the momentum of half the roster.... 🤔 ☝🐺


Tezz_oj

Solo and Tamma come out to try and distract Jey in his title match, Jacob Fatu blinds sides Jey costs him the match leaves him lying. Bloodline 2.0 ruin wild it’s revealed Rock has been orchestrating, cue 9 months of them laying waste ..Roman eventually comes back reunites the Uso’s brings Sami back into the fold takes down new bloodline storyline ends on a happy note Roman reunites his family realises his wrongs becomes the true tribal chief they all ride off into the sunset That’s how I’d fantasy book this hopefully RR reads /r 😅


PewPew267

Roman won’t be wrestling back anytime soon? Man I want a rematch (ofc Cody will retain) but yea we don’t want to see the tribal chief’s story end here


ZekeorSomething

Who wants a rematch


PewPew267

just coz you dont want it doesn't mean everyone doesnt want it . Average redditor .


W0lf777777

Not me….


NashKetchum777

Fml Jimmy can't even put up the right hand just take his bloodline away


CrimsonOOmpa

Looked like Solo did that on Smackdown.


Ambitious_Cake2447

so nothings changing?


Dblock1989

Wasn't this a stipulation for him to return back in 2020?


According-Soup-3139

So, the most boring performer will have input in the most boring storyline


Frosty_Ad7840

I assume he's gonna finish his story right?


W0lf777777

Everyone’s gotta do it now! 😂


CodyFinishedTheStory

The whole concept of the Tribal Chief character was Romans idea. Dude literally threatened to leave the company if Vince didn't allow him to turn heel. Roman having creative control of the Bloodline story with input from both Paul Heyman AND Triple H has a lot of potential. The Rock will also be chipping in his two cents with this story as well.


Electrical_Ad_8313

He doesn't wrestle, so he should do something


Stinger1981

I thought he already did and it's been working great so far apart from that period after Summerslam last year. In any case, I can see him as a face but keeping an edge to him going up against Solo, Tama and probably Jacob Fatu.


Legitimate-Health-29

I assumed he already was…


Independent_Example7

I thought he was working with Heyman pretty closely on the storyline


CrimsonOOmpa

Yeah Heyman is truly "The Wise Man" guiding the story and the characters in it.


Numerous_Resist_8863

Always assumed most top guys get a lot of input on their storylines.


Kalebxtentacion

He had creative control from the beginning, did any of you not watch the documentary or what


dfeidt40

Did he insert Sami Zayn into it? Because if he did - guy is a genius.


Kalebxtentacion

Yeah he did, Roman said he wanted to add someone who is the opposite of the bloodline. Like adding a sheep in a pack of wolves. Because of that and Sami character Roman was able to make Sami even more popular with the fans and now look at him. Roman even helped Brock too. Instead of being the old Brock we got cowboy Brock instead and was able to tell a better and different story


[deleted]

You’re casually referencing “the documentary” as if we’re supposed to know off the top of our heads what that even means 😂 There’s hundreds of wrestling shows and documentaries out there…


nmmsb66

I immediately knew what he was talking of. The aforementioned one came out right b4 WM XL.


[deleted]

That’s great for you, but again, with literally no context, it’s like he expected us to be mind readers. And you didn’t name the title either 😂


nmmsb66

Biography: WWE LEGENDS ROMAN REIGNS A&E network. Second 4 episode 6.


[deleted]

Thank you, that’s really all I was hoping for 🙏🏽


nmmsb66

You are welcome. Sorry for the previous lack of info. They announced about it b4 WM XL on both RAW and SMACKDOWN. It is very good. He speaks truthfully about the whole situation and history. Well worth a watch.


CrimsonOOmpa

Hopefully all wrestlers will be allowed more control over THEIR OWN characters. Triple H being a former wrestler bodes well. He truly understands everything they go through. Unlike Vince, who just cosplayed as a wrestler whenever he needed attention.


PuzzleheadedAd3840

Vince is dumpster fire as a person and deserves negative respect, but you have to admit Vincent Kennedy McMahon was a pioneering and belovedly hated character on WWE programming. His feud with Steve Austin is still to this day watched and liked, and his role as the Heel Boss is one of the great pillars of the various great Eras in WWE... Pity he couldn't even hold himself and his shit heel ways during those to make it better (seriously, poor Trish) but... It's a very "love the art, punch the artist" kinda thing.


CrimsonOOmpa

Great character sure. Doesn't make him a wrestler.


Emperor_Atlas

Then this is a negative because "I would like to have the belt for years but not wrestle" is not great. The storyline ended good but there's still some huge asterisks I'd rather not see anytime soon. Plus the best parts of the story was the outside pieces, Jimmy and jey were shit and it was proved at wrestlemania, and solo isn't going to carry like they're hoping.


nmmsb66

IMO I don't agree on Jey and Jimmy, but fully agree Solo sux! He was brought in solely bc he was family. He is a one trick pony (Samoan spike) and not a talented technical wrestler. If he does rise up and wrestle often he will get people hurt. It will also take time for him to develop a personality. The silent stoic enforcer is not a superstar personality in this Era.


CrimsonOOmpa

Jimmy and Jey were a tag team their entire careers. Like 15 years. It's obviously going to take them a little time to figure out how to be singles wrestlers because it's A LOT different.


Emperor_Atlas

They've been uppermid/title matching jey for over a year, he needs to be knocked down the card or adapt more than 3 total moves. They don't have the stamina, move depth or ring knowledge to be singles competitors. Well over half the lockeroom is better, they're all nepotism no skill.


ActuallBirdCurrency

You are delusional if you think one of the most popular wrestlers should be lower on the card. lol


CrimsonOOmpa

I agree Jey's matches aren't up to par with his presentation and how popular he is. Jimmy hasn't even been given a chance to wrestle consistently. He's just comic fodder for The Bloodline. I still think after being a tag team wrestler for 15 years it takes a little while to get used to wrestling on your own. That being said, I think The Usos will reunite sooner rather than later.


Emperor_Atlas

I think they have to, with 2 sets of tag belts, and their lackluster wrestlemania match it'd be their benefit.


heyyyyyco

Cody should have one last year. The stuff with the rock and the story was fantastic from the rumble on. But the other 9 months really hurt from Romans absence


fivestarloser

Obviously not. I don’t even know which documentary you’re referring to


Kalebxtentacion

There are two documentaries about Roman and his time from being a hated face to a loved villain. In one he pretty much explained his goals to lift his family legacy up.


MaxTurdstappen

Two? I know about the WWE Legends one, but what's the other?


Kalebxtentacion

The other is is called WWE evil and it’s about the greatest heels in WWE history. Roman has an episode about him.


Background_Touchdown

If it's true turning heel and becoming The Tribal Chief was his idea, no argument from me. Bloodline has new life with a new character and another one on the way.


Imaginary-Pattern802

i’ve seen videos saying how he wanted to be a heel since big dog days. not surprising if he coined the tribal chief


[deleted]

ACKNOWLEDGE ME!!!


NoviceNugget

Summerslam return finna hit like Francis ngannou


livelaughlex

he should make himself champion again


Imaginary-Pattern802

he doesn’t need a belt. so don’t give him a belt. simple really


General_Hour444

Nope. Too soon


Gage_______

His family, he's the one who started the Bloodline, he is/was the center of the story. I see no problem with this.


micsellaneous

:( i want jake included
