Now there is a chance that he overcomes Cody like he has in the past, but thinking about things:
If Roman does lose at Mania, what happens next with him?
Does he go onto a new feud with the Usos now that he perceives that they failed him (hinted at Sami taunting that he did what Jey wanted to do but didn't first)?
Does he get another shot at Cody to try to get payabck?
Or does he go persona non grata for a while, taking time away from the picture until the time is right (Summerslam at the earliest is what I would pick)?
What do you guys and gals think?

I imagine he takes a long ass break (he's only been on like 3 shows since EC anyways) and doesn't come back til a rematch with Cody at Summerslam, but it'd be more interesting if the Bloodline continues to dissolve after losing all their belts culminating with Jey hopefully finally beating him.

He disappears for a while. Solo answers Cena's open challenge on the RAW after mania with Heyman as his manager to keep around as a character. Don't know what happens to the Usos though.

Mini losing streak that ends at Backlash, after which he disappears until Summerslam.

Ideally I'd probably have him lose to Sami at Backlash then leave for a long while. You can do the Jey match down the line after he's built up more.

Roman goes after Sami and blames him for the Bloodline’s woes at Mania. Challenges him to a match at Backlash, where Sami beats Roman clean. Then Reigns peaces out for a bit while the Bloodline spirals.

Here's what should happen: Roman should come out and demand his rematch thanks to the rematch clause. However, Adam Pearce shuts him down by revealing that his contract for the match with Cody didn't have a rematch clause. The reason: Paul Heyman didn't put on in the contract because he thought Roman was going to win. Roman then has to fight someone else (maybe Kevin Owens or Sami Zayn) for a shot at the title. He loses and goes apeshit, beating up everyone: his opponent, some referees, the announcers, some agents, etc. This prompts Pearce to suspend him. This gives Roman a kayfabe reason to be gone so he can take a well-deserved break.

Roman vanishes for a bit.
Heyman also vanishes for a bit.
Eventual return likely sees Heyman back with Brock to do a program with Cody.
Roman returns as a face later.

Rematch on Raw or Backlash which he wins. Have him not be pinned for threeish years afterwards.

Roman goes insane after his support group falls apart, infighting ensues between him and Jey after Roman fails to regain the title and Jey tries to defend the family instead as Roman's paranoia kicks in. You can try to summon The Rock or something down the line but, to me, a Roman so desperate to regain what was his in order to avoid his fall from grace that he throws his family into the fire is more interesting that "Roman has to win to get his title run to 1,000 days".

Honestly, this is the best thing they can do. He really should not appear again until Summerslam

If it was me, I'd have him and the Bloodline make their first appearance on the Smackdown following. Roman talks about failure and points out the Usos losing, Solo getting taken out, and it all costing him. This leads to the Usos and Solo laying him out with the last shot being Jimmy and Jey holding him up for a Samoan Spike from Solo. The Bloodline is a three man group, with Jey being the front man but no real later. Roman's gone until MitB at the earliest.
Have Solo starting to climb for the briefcase with the Usos help and Roman's music hits, out walks Paul Heyman which distracts Solo long enough for someone (Gunther since Imperium?) to win. Paul hypes up they thought the Tribal Chief was dead but he was only wounded and he will return at Summerslam.
Summerslam is a six man, Bloodline vs. Roman & ?? (not of huge importance but KO and Sami could help solidify a face turn) with Solo and Roman brawling off.
Roman and ? face the Usos at Survivor Series. Solo again gets involved and the Usos win.
Royal Rumble Solo and Roman eliminate each other and brawl to the back.
Finally at WrestleMania 40 in a Philly street fight, Solo beats Roman.

Loses the title to Cody at Mania
Loses the rematch at Backlash
Loses to Jey at hell in a cell (bringing it full circle as hell in a cell is where IMO the bloodline really starts as Roman makes him say I quit).
IMO you cannot have Roman up and dissapear for a long while without concluding the Uso arc because it would just leave a dangling carrot of a story and they would feel completely adrift.

Roman takes a month off on vacation and we get a 5 minute update per show on what he & his family have been doing that day/week.
can still have Roman pulling the strings of the bloodline via text/videocall/Heyman sowing more seeds of dissention in the rest of the bloodline by them resenting him not being there.

One thing I’d add: I’d make it clear that despite being defacto faces, the Bloodline sans Roman will still not have many friends in the locker room, mainly because the faces will remember how much the group terrorized them. Then you build towards Solo and the Usos becoming full faces when Sami and KO step up to help them.

For the longest time I thought this Wrestlemania should be the end of heel Roman and he should drop the title, take a break for a while then eventually return as a face to confront whoever the big heel at the time is.
At this point though even after he drops the title I think he has to stay heel long enough to finish the Roman/Jey story. Roman/Jey was the first big feud of the Bloodline/Tribal Chief saga and I think Jey finally getting revenge on Roman for all the mental abuse he's inflicted on him should be what ends it. The question is do they immediately go into that after Wrestlemania or does Roman disappear for a while and they save it for a bit later.

I would also like to see him take on face Rollins before he goes face again. I know they had the rumble fued but they were both heels and they have unfinished business
