Roman's gonna come back and make up for his failed first face run. I know some people doubt he'll be cheered over Rock but I'm fully convinced he's going to be massively over as a face. It feels like fans have been desperate to cheer him for 1-2 years and the only thing keeping him heel was needing that catharsis of a babyface beating him for the title first. If Jey and/or Jimmy are getting beat down by the new crew and Roman returns to make the save I think the pop will be huge and he'll have no trouble getting over as a face.

I still don't get why he attacked Jimmy other than, it's Jimmy. Paul giving the concession speech for Roman is a bit meh. I feel like this would have worked better, particularly to establish Tonga and maybe help Roman turn if Roman had come out and did the concession then got murked by Solo and Tama.
As it stands, Tama debuted by beating up someone who is the equivalent of Vincent in the NWO.
Now, this is just the first step but at the moment if this leads to Roman and the Usos teaming as faces? That is not appealing. Jey having to earn the trust of the faces on Raw was solid. Jey getting back with Roman or even Jimmy at this point renders a lot of his story pointless.
However, that may change in the coming weeks, it's entirely possible that they will find a way to make it organic. As it stands right now, I'm just kinda underwhelmed by it all.

About a year later than a lot of us would have liked, but I'm glad it's finally happening.

So what happens with Jimmmy now? He looks absolutely cooked as a solo dude and can't go back to teaming with Jey. At the moment were all assuming that Jacob Fatu is gonna join Tama Tonga and Solo Sikoa. But what if Jimmy gets him at first to be a partner against them? Jacob could turn later, but at first we could be seeing a tag team feud.

They could just have Jacob debut next week and announce him as a new member but I think I'd do it a bit different.
I think I'd have a tag at Backlash with Solo and Tama v Jimmy and a partner. Jimmy tries to get Jey but Jey isn't ready to forgive him yet (plus he'll be busy in a world title match) so he brings in Jacob but he turns on him during the match and joins Solo/Tama. Then they cost Jey his title match and Jimmy runs out to try save Jey but they get beat down and the long game is Roman returning and the OG 3 facing the new guys. It feels like it could be a war games match but 3 v 3 might not be enough people for that and I wouldn't want just to add random members to make up the numbers.

Jimmmy's so far gone, I feel like Jacob aligning with him would make him DOA unless he turns on Jimmmmy quickly.

Also my main wish for babyface Roman is that he gets to keep "acknowledge me." It's too iconic to get rid of. Rock kept finally I've come back to etc during face runs despite it on paper being an egotistical thing to say but the crowds loved it.

Yeah I think it’s going to end up being Roman and the Usos against Rock, Solo, and Tama. Rock as a heel means Roman is going to turn face. Curious to see how it plays out. If Roman stays away long enough, he’ll get a monster pop once he comes back.

God I want Babyface Roman/Jey/Jimmy v Solo/Tama/Jacob on the road to Roman v Rock with Jimmy and Roman having to plead with Jey to forgive/help them like Rollins with Ambrose before Summerslam 2018. That pop when they fully reunite will be amazing. Putting Jey back with Jimmmy feels like a backward step for Jey, who is on a different level. We waited for literally years for a solo Jey run, and having it end so soon with most of it still wrapped up with The Bloodline would be such a letdown.

It was great. Solo has an awesome presence, so he can make it work.

This version of the Bloodline should be more fun because they don't have a deathgrip on the WWE title and the main event scene. Downgrading to a mid-card thing is the BEST thing you can do right now. Nah this is gonna elevate Solo lets goooo

If it were up to me, I'd keep them away from Cody for a bit and let them establish themselves as a group without Rock or Roman being omnipresent.

Yeah, right now with all the internal struggles, defeats and misfires. They have to regroup and recruit internally and go from there. Fix what's inside the house first before you step out of it. Also, feed them so classic jobbers. I want to see Solo, Tama and Jacob absolutely wreck and destroy jobbers like Braun did in 2016. Build em up from the ground.

wait a second. if roman is going to come back as a face eventually and needs a partner to help him out... SAMI!? I was already thinking about this. A face one time only 4 Hours Bloodlinesmen moment to take the new Bloodline down/or put them over would be cool.

It'd never happen because I'm pretty sure Rock's only got 2 matches left him and that's singles v Cody and singles v Roman plus his movie schedule is likely full for the rest of the year but a war games match at Survivor Series with Roman/Jey/Jimmy/Sami v Rock/Solo/Jacob/Tama would be perfect.

Maybe the new tribal chief is Haku. I dare you to tell him that he isn't. Chris Nilan made the 1987 United States team for the Canada Cup (hockey) because no one dared tell him he was cut.

Roman, Jimmy, Jey, and Sami vs Rock, Solo, Tonga, and Fatu would be a dope War Games match
