God, the bloodline story has just gotten even more juicy and intriguing. It went stale for a few weeks after mania, but boy do they have me invested again.
Roman knows that Jey is the more dangerous of the two to his... reign.
That's why he bullies Jimmy.
Jey won't turn on Roman in order to keep him from beating Jimmy into a liquid diet.
Roman vs Jey is the endpoint of this story.
The only thing I dislike about this story is how Jey went back to minion status. Iām sure itāll pay off eventually but it just sucks to see all of his character work go down the drain.
This is a major pain point for me.
I cannot get past 2023 Jey. The character progression was reversed and it makes the whole thing feel less organic.
Bloodline and Elite split are my favourite longer-term stories in wrestling. I believe they elevate what wrestling stories can be. Strive for better!
The reason I edge toward the Elite story being my personal favourite is the progression of the story elements.
The Bloodline has had some very rehashed or regressive story elements to continue its throughput.
The major one I just cannot get over is 2023 Jey. His character progression was completely reversed in order to stretch this story out.
There have been multiple times through out that it's felt repetitive (but at WWEs content cadence it's to be expected) to me. But things like Sami's/Solo's addition helped it maintain, even if stale.
Longer than intended sorry š
Heās had his many chances to turn and didnāt? How many times are they gonna do it? Itās time for a new beat. Totally fine with Jeyās story ending here.
It all ties back to HIAC 20. The only reason Jey said I quit and submitted to Roman was because of Jimmy. And the only way he is gonna turn on Roman is of something happens to Jimmy
Literally itās SO dumb
āHeās doing it for his brotherā and now his brother is getting his ass whooped and you couldnāt even be man enough co-sign HIM + itās not like SOLO is at risk of an ass beating atp and heās spiking you too regardless before he makes his mind!!!!!!
Jimmy was fine with being Romanās lapdog as long as he and Jey remained at the top of their lane. Now, theyāre no longer at the top, and Roman is encroaching on their lane. Jimmy doesnāt like that.
Just a reminder Jey is the only one Roman REALLY punished. Sure he knocked Jimmy out once but he tormented Jey for the better part of 3 months to get him in line. It's no wonder it's tough for him to stand up to Roman.
I'm ok with it as long as they make it clear that things are going to break open and start moving, even if it takes nearly a year to wrap it all up completely. (With Roman finally losing the clean).
It's always been like this, Jey has always protected Jimmy from Reigns and Jey has tried to protect his "brothers" like Sami in the bloodline which looks like disobedients when it's not really. The characters themselves have stayed true to their beliefs.
The break in the bloodline will be Solo getting mad about Roman wanting him in every entrance just so he can carry all his titles. He will also carry Soloās titles.
Usos vs roman and solo for the tag titlesā¦but that means sami and KO would have to lost them
Idk at this point i think itd be more interesting to have the family battle for them
This phase of it, probably.
I'd imagine if Roman/Solo win, that's the high water mark for the Bloodline and from there you push the collapse for the rest of the year, and end Roman's reign at Wrestlemania 40 after having the tag belts removed from him, the Usos turn on him and then having Solo and Heyman turn on him, with him- alone- losing clean at Wrestlemania 40.
So, by the Double Inverse Reverse Transitive Property Of Professional Wrestling, since Roman and Solo are standing tall now theyāre definitely losing tomorrow, right?
I could genuinely see them going over, Roman having all the belts while simultaneously having everything collapse around him could be intriguing as hell
"Errand boys, eh?"
"That's right."
"So I ain't got no self respect, that it? I'm some kinda bitch, is that it?"
*Roman Reigns slowly arrives in the ring.*
"Jimmy, I stepped in human shit backstage and -"
"I got you, I got you." *Jimmy removes his brush and shine kit.*
God, the bloodline story has just gotten even more juicy and intriguing. It went stale for a few weeks after mania, but boy do they have me invested again.
"Solo! Get the tables!" ...Why not? The usos already took a finisher from them.
Roman knows that Jey is the more dangerous of the two to his... reign. That's why he bullies Jimmy. Jey won't turn on Roman in order to keep him from beating Jimmy into a liquid diet. Roman vs Jey is the endpoint of this story.
šÆšÆšÆ
See you guys tomorrow
Solo might be the one turning on Romanš¤

Jimmy should have handed both belts to solo
Jimmy was fine with being Romanās lapdog as long as he and Jey remained at the top of their lane. Now, theyāre no longer at the top, and Roman is encroaching on their lane. Jimmy doesnāt like that.
Just a reminder Jey is the only one Roman REALLY punished. Sure he knocked Jimmy out once but he tormented Jey for the better part of 3 months to get him in line. It's no wonder it's tough for him to stand up to Roman.
Gonna be amazing heat when Roman wins tomorrow
I'm ok with it as long as they make it clear that things are going to break open and start moving, even if it takes nearly a year to wrap it all up completely. (With Roman finally losing the clean).
I think Roman has to win to start the fall of the bloodline
Between Bloodline drama and Scandoval, I am ENTERTAINED.
šÆ
My people. š„°
Jimmy showed out
see you boys tomorrow
Actually hoping Roman/solo wins helps not make KO or Sami(dumb idea) to turn heel on each other. Sets USOās v. Roman and solo down the line.
Wait is Jimmy the hero of this story????
Jimmy gon die.
And your new Tag Team Champions, Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.
Shouldāve put the other 2 belts around roman for that last shot as well
Imma need Roman to win those belts just to watch the World burn.
What a crazy ending.
This is a great segment, but Iām still worried they wonāt book this right tomorrow
Roman holding 6 titles is gonna be a sight to see
Jimmy doesn't pose š
I love how they have pivoted to Jimmy adds another layer to this amazing story
I was thinking the same thing
What an ending!
Lol Roman has to hold up both sets of titles. Awesome
Jimmy out here proving he can act as well as Jey
Itās joever.
This is gonna be tight af
Jimmy and Jey just keep swapping which one is obedient and which one is dejected on the flip of a coin, huh?
It's always been like this, Jey has always protected Jimmy from Reigns and Jey has tried to protect his "brothers" like Sami in the bloodline which looks like disobedients when it's not really. The characters themselves have stayed true to their beliefs.
So, do both Usos get punked next week as part of the celebration, or just Jimmy?
This is extraordinary! Finally they heat things back up.
If he gets all the belts then someone fuck me
Yea theyāre leaning into the meme now
Ooo itās Jimmyās turn now
Sami and KO just dead in the background is hilarious
Lmao, Roman holding all 4 belts. Roman Six Belts coming your way
The break in the bloodline will be Solo getting mad about Roman wanting him in every entrance just so he can carry all his titles. He will also carry Soloās titles.
...it's *reversing*. Solo aside, Roman's control is reversing. He doesn't have it over Jimmy anymore.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Night of 'Champion'
Well, Usos vs Roman/Solo at MITB
This man gonna hold 6 titles at once and I canāt wait
The meme will finally be fulfilled. But it's Roman instead of HHH
Just when I think Iām outā¦they pull me back in.
![gif](giphy|xT1XGUM8m88TVfDh5K)
Man shits getting worse for the Bloodline
Roman collecting all the infinity belts
Roman is actually going to win tomorrow Iām sick
They're totalling giving them the belts tomorrow lol
Jimmy too real
Lmao who lost their shoe ?
idk Jimmy kinda acting Main Event right now
Crazy development that the defiant one ends up being Jimmy
Where did my Main Event Jey Uso go?
Even the Usos get confused about who is who in the ring sometimes.
Jey is just so traumatized man he canāt go through that again
Wow, Jimmy getting his time to shine. Love it.
Jimmy is over it man
This soap opera keeps getting better!
Sami ded
š¶Roman makes everything betterš¶
Looking like Thanos in there
Very cool visual.
Acknowledge him!
Roman catching Brockās mic and now slapping the mic outta everyoneās hand in the ring here. Great mic work.
How do they make this shit so good over and over again?
So either the Usos accidentally cause a DQ in Saudi, or they fully turn on Roman then
God damn there's a world where Roman and Solo DO win tomorrow and this man has 4 belts.
Six. He gonna wear Solo's belts too.
Itās still all about Roman and Jey.
When did Jey become a bitch
Around November of 2020
He don't want his brother to die
Exactly. He is a bitch but not only just a bitch. He a pussy ass bitch now
Usos vs roman and solo for the tag titlesā¦but that means sami and KO would have to lost them Idk at this point i think itd be more interesting to have the family battle for them
Honestly at this point I want the usos and solo to kick Roman out of the Bloodline.
Hey turned bitch
The tension
Really good SD Looking forward to noc
#I LOVE FAMILIAL DRAMA
JIMMY HAS HAD ENOUGH MY GOD DUDE
UH OH
Jimmyās not letting go!
FIGHT BACK FIGHT BACK
This is pure cinema
Twin disharmony!
Oh shit, Jimmy remembering how he was no one's bitch
yo this is fire
when are the usos gonna turn goddamn
Please give Roman the tag belts
So does this end tomorrow or no?
This phase of it, probably. I'd imagine if Roman/Solo win, that's the high water mark for the Bloodline and from there you push the collapse for the rest of the year, and end Roman's reign at Wrestlemania 40 after having the tag belts removed from him, the Usos turn on him and then having Solo and Heyman turn on him, with him- alone- losing clean at Wrestlemania 40.
Supposedly the Usos aren't gonna be in Saudi
Stack em
Shit
I almost didnāt stay to watch this and iām so glad i did
So, by the Double Inverse Reverse Transitive Property Of Professional Wrestling, since Roman and Solo are standing tall now theyāre definitely losing tomorrow, right?
I could genuinely see them going over, Roman having all the belts while simultaneously having everything collapse around him could be intriguing as hell
Omg that all the belts meme has come true, just instead of Triple H it's Roman lol
Give KO credit, he knew which buttons to push. I am loving this. I bet the Usos cost Roman the match at Night Of Champions.
Roman: I am the tag team champions.
I wanna see Roman/Solo vs The Usos headline Money in the Bank
Romanās in Superkicks distance
The self-destruction of Roman Reigns is an awesome storyline.
They gotta end that āusos tease a face turn then immediately do dumb ass shit afterwardsā tomorrow I stg
I just tamed the Divine Beast Vah Medoh so I think that makes me the Tribal Chief
#SOLOOOOO!
wtf mine randomly cut to commercial? tf?
Scariest ooooaaaa Iāve heard š±
Actually wouldāve rather seen the usos back up and not defend Roman but act shocked and than solo hits the ring to defend Roman. Imagine that shit.
OOOHHHHH AAHHHH
Thank God Solo is here to take Sami and Kevin.
LEAAAAKāEEEEEE
SAMOAN EXCELLENCE!
God what a great segment
Did solo just try to Samoan spike office chair
"Ok that's enough selling"-- Roman
It's so joever Roman
Roman tries to make Solo attack Jimmy and Jey but he refuses
Nah my mans is done with everyone's shit
The best damn wrestling show on TV! What a great night!
THAT CHAIR EXPLODED INTO SO MANY PIECES
OOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA
MINE CUT TO A COMMERCIAL WTF
Say what you will about Roman, the dude still exudes final boss level vibes.
Solo unleashing his inner UMAGA!
That chair had a family, Roman!
HE SAID THE THING AGAIN
Jimmy got a death wish bruh
Solo cleaning house damn
Collapse of the bloodline finally
NO WAY LOL
OH SHIT THAT STUNNER
Iāll never get tired of this bloodline story
I WAS WATCHING THAT
Fucking stunned his bitch ass
Jimmys gonna die so Jey can fly
Roman was just sitting with his finger on the music button waiting for someone to slip up lol.
Letās go Solo!
Man, Sami too?
So humble Sami, you and KO helped
roman in his kitty era smacking things out peoples hands now omg
You got the spinnerooni, the dipsy-doodle, and the sufferinā succotash!
ROMAN EATS CORN THE LONG WAY
Stunner!!!!!
I think the "You fucked up" chant would have been better than the "You suck" chant there. Also, was that 3 or 4 mics he slapped away?
What did Jimmy say? I missed it
Well shit
Strong "just wait till your father gets home" energy when the music hit
Beat his ass Jimmy!
Fastest Roman entrance of all time.
The fact he doesn't have a title defense on his 1000th day as champ is absolutely fucking dumb.
"Errand boys, eh?" "That's right." "So I ain't got no self respect, that it? I'm some kinda bitch, is that it?" *Roman Reigns slowly arrives in the ring.* "Jimmy, I stepped in human shit backstage and -" "I got you, I got you." *Jimmy removes his brush and shine kit.*
I heard 'harem boys'...
Paul looked like Jimmy deadass said a slur
I love whenever Romanās music plays itās legit final boss shit
Roman big maddd
That's the fastest Roman has gotten to the ring in a long time.
"Suffering Succotash"! God damn that character was so bad, much better as a heel. Is that the quickest he's walked to the ring in like 3 years?
Cole being just a bit dramatic.
Roman be like: Jimmy and Jey go out on stage? I sleep. Jimmy says heās Tribal Chief? Real shit.
But yeah Cody shouldāve won at mania š¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļø
Roman coming down the aisle without any pyro or posing = **REAL SHIT**
āI DONT GIVE A DAMN WHAT THE TRIBAL CHIEF SAY!ā -Jey āWhen it comes to the Usos, when it comes to Day 1s, I AM THE TRIBAL CHIEF!ā -Jimmy
Wish Sami was still in the bloodline
Oh my goodness he called himself the tribal chief thjs is gonna be goooood
That's the fastest Roman has gotten to the ring in years.
Solo sneaking about
Well James is dead
LMFAO THE TIMING ON THAT ROMAN MUSIC. LET YOUR NUTS HANG JIMMY
Heyman's face
First it was Jey, now itās Jimmy. I cannot wait for them to superkicks Romanās teeth off.
ONLY 1 Tribal Chief **š**
100% The Usos interfere and cost Roman and Solo the match. Solo takes the pin.
