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. Twas fabulous I loved every second

Haven't heard legit heel heat like that in a min Still say the bigger match is Sami/KO vs Roman Sami turning face is nice but he did a lot of shit that should get his ass whooped like KO was just doing Yeah, that wasn't "AW MAN THIS BOOKING SUCKS" heat. This was "YOU f***ING MONSTER" heat. And it was GLORIOUS. Literal “f*** you Roman” chants were ringing out. When was the last time a WWE heel elicited that reaction for being a bad guy?

I’m so tired of bloodline standing strong at the end. Just have Sami snap and hit everyone but jey who bails in tears but throws Sami the keys.
Just feels like we’re setting up for more segments of bullshit. When he does turn or kinda turn it won’t have same impact it would have had here.

I like this, with Jey giving him the keys and metaphorically freeing them both from the bloodline

No matter what happens, I'm glad we've finally sorted out the faces and heels here. It's been bothering me for like six months and really neutered actual faces trying to feud with this group.

That honestly must have been cathartic for Roman because they were booing him that much because that was the story, not just because he was being forced down people’s throats. They’ve come a long way.

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. I mean, it’s pretty logical that the next month will be Jey Uso’s crisis of conscience until Zayn is about to win the world title at Elimination Chamber and he betrays Zayn. I'm gonna Uncle Howdy jump I swear to god lmfao

When was the last time a WWE heel elicited that reaction for being a bad guy? On one hand, it's good that a heel is getting these kinds of reactions. On the other hand, has it been worth the time and energy over the past couple of years to get to this point with Reigns as a heel? The segment I liked as an idea, but in execution it felt like that "getting heat" thing Alvarez ranted about years ago.

They’ve come a long way. Man literally stopped when he heard the “f*** you” chants to acknowledge them before dropping the petals on Sami. Great, great shit.

Dropping the petals onto Sami's dead body was brilliant asshole heeling.

WWE: “Sami is going to turn but we still need to make Roman look strong.”
I get the different nuances all the wrestlers in this angle aare showing which is great, it just feels like they’re undercutting their own big moments.

It's only undercutting if they don't deliver by Mania, and the crowd very loudly, very clearly wanted something to happen when Sami hit Roman with the chair There wasn't really any other way this was gonna go, Jey walking out was actually a nice surprising ripple, but Sami wasn't gonna overpower Reigns and Solo let alone Jimmy too even with a chair, he was flanked from all angles.

This moment, after blue-balling the angle for many months, we needed a classic, old school wrestling babyface turn in which the guy who is turning waylays all the heels. Zayn looks like a shitty friend for letting Owens getting his ass kicked for so long but also a total dipshit for not laying out the Bloodline who would obviously overwhelm him with their numbers. And he had a chair in his hands to do it. Do people remember when the Shield turned face, for example, and how awesome that was? That's what was needed here. As a kind of deconstruction or decompression of classic wrestling tropes, I liked the closing segment of the Royal Rumble. But the old school flavour of meat and potatoes pro wrestling would have worked better, I think.

But now, this really does seem like the final "victory" the heel Bloodline will get before everything goes up shit's creek for them on the road to Mania.
