That backstage segment tonight with Sami and Roman might be their best one yet. Sami comes across so earnest in wanting to be accepted by the group. In a way it reminds me of Eugene thinking he was a member of Evolution. He wanted nothing more than to be their friend but they just used him.
When they eventually snap and beat the hell out of Sami he's going to get so much sympathy he'll immediately be a massive face again like his NXT days.
They keep mentioning Owens' name too so hopefully he'll eventually come to his old friend's aid. They're overdue to win the tag-titles together and I can't think of a better team to end this long Uso reign.

I’m interested in the idea of Sami unintentionally starting the Bloodline’s downfall with his antics, then teaming up with KO to win the titles from The Usos.

Beginning of the year I was sure KO and Zayn were gonna go to AEW. I’m so glad they didn’t as they’re both having great years. It’s been one of my wishes in WWE is for them to win the tag titles since like 2017. Seems like it’s finally gonna happen.

Sami has been really good in this role and it is going to be weird as hell seeing them both face/tweener again as it seems they will be the ones to take down The Usos

That backstage segment was top notch (Sami starting to say 'Tribal Chief' on the phone before correcting himself to say 'Roman' was a nice touch), though the IC 5-way match was great too.

You actually got rewarded for keeping up with this storyline and all the subtle things Sami and Roman are doing is top notch

I hope they keep playing it like Roman actually genuinely enjoying Sami's presence and not used to enjoying someone else's company in like years because he's only been around Wiseman and the Usos the last few years.

After what feels like a decade, we are finally getting some non-Brock related storyline development with Roman which is a nice change of pace.

Only kinda related, but Michael Cole dropping references to El Generico and old wrestling shit lately to prove he's a real fan has been great.

Sami would be a great character in a 1980's sitcom. If you include all aspects of pro wrestling (wrestling, promo, charisma, etc) I think Sami might be the best. He's as entertaining in the ring as he is in on the mic

Honestly Roman genuinely liking/trusting Sami more than his own cousins could make for some juicy storytelling.

I thought it was great. Reminds me of that scene in Happy Gilmore:
Sami: "Let's get something to eat. There's a Red Lobster nearby. My treat!
Roman: Maybe some other time.
*Sami grabs Roman's arm.
Sami: Roman, I thought we were gonna be friends?
Roman: Oh, we're friends, I've just... gotta go!
Sami: Okay, well, I'll be at the Red Lobster if you change your mind, Uce. Godbless!

Giving Drew a boot to the corner to help Roman. "HAHA! JACKASS!"

I have been entertained. I like the Sami winning the 24/7 title and thinking it is a big deal idea that some have said.

Sami is my absolute favourite thing in all of WWE right now, I've been loving this honorary Bloodline member storyline. He's the best.

The storyline and interactions are great. That backstage segment with Sami and Roman is about as good as acting gets in pro wrestling.
I’m here 1000% for Sami/KO vs. the Usos. I’d love to see Sami’s face run stretch out to a world title chase culminating at Wrestlemania 40 as well.
