The Public Slaughtering of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens

[Alyce: Old Media Enthusiast]

That was a f***ing masterclass of an ending.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Bloodline has been the best thing for a hot min and it did not disappoint

KO/Sami out for blood against them is going to be crazy and add in the Jey factor as well

[The Rick Jericho]

[Dave the Dave]

It was compelling but I’m over the torture porn Roman stuff. I am excited to see it going forward though. Finally progression

[Lizuka #BLM]

Honestly my primary emotion for it was, "Thank f*** this storyline is finally budging," though I am curious to see what comes of Jey walking out. Really hoping he returns to being a singles star off of that.

[mcstoklasa]

Roman is a f**king megastar. He is so good in this role.


And in the end I'm so glad Rock didn't come out.

You don't build up Sami (and KO) with this incredible storyline just to have a man in his 50's show up and make it about them.

Sami Vs Roman at Mania? I know Cody has to be there too.

[WinOwensWin]

Such a fantastic ending. Just incredible story telling. And with Jey walking out. Just awesome.

[Chris Legentil -- Mind Freak]

Actual perfect segment. Jey Uso dude.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

That only made me think Sami needs to beat Roman at Mania even more. Sami/Kevin winning the tag titles doesn't even feel like the right end to the story anymore given Jey is on the verge of turning already.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Might need some extra security at the Samoan embassy in Ottawa after this.

[XIII]

Glad that they didn’t pull the lazy Rock or Stone Cold move.

Bloodline stuff is some of the best writing out there, I think that Roman’s long assed reign really adds to the story.

Sami has to get the match at Mania, that pop when he beats Roman will be INSANE

[Heartbreaker]

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

All time great Angle, honestly.

Soap opera stories remain king in wrestling and the reaction tonight kinda showed why.

[The Gallus Mark]

The pop for Sami’s chair shot was unbelievable.

Jey walking away was brilliant. He’s been conflicted over this stuff for literal years. Such good stuff.

[Alice Syndrome]

That wasn't worth it taking 2 and a half actual years to get to this asshole point. I'd have enjoyed it if it didn't immediately lead to standard Bloodline ending of endless beat down continuing and them standing tall anyway. Just have Sami and Jey walk out after the chair shot for crying out loud.

Also screw Roman for selling that chair shot for approximately 5 seconds, and screw whoever decided to have that overrun by 20 minutes.

[Bang Bang Bart]

Probably the last PPV to end with the Bloodline standing tall(ish), because no way Elimination Chamber and both WrestleMania nights have that sort of downer ending.

I get wanting Zayn to get the world title as part of this, it’s such a great angle that it warrants it. But it leaves Owens with nothing, and he’s too involved in the story now to leave it empty-handed.

I supposed they could do it like when Kofi Kingston got his world title shot, and Big E and Xavier Woods basically gave up their WM aspirations to go all in on Kingston. But I’d still feel bad for Owens.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Roman has two world titles. Pearce has had to deal with his shit for years now. Make him defend one on each night as punishment.

"BUT CODY'S SHOT" dilemma solved.

[Fade]

Captivated. I couldn’t post. Didn’t even move for a while.

[khali]

After that, you HAVE to do Sami/Reigns at Mania for two big reasons.

-That pop when he hit Reigns. They can’t just not wrestle each other after that explosion of a reaction.
-Jey walking out makes Usos vs. Owens/Sami a lot less relevant. That dynamic is totally different now.
