For me it wasn't just Cody losing, it's also the Bloodline didn't implode.

It was RIGHT. f***ING. THERE.








Also props to Cody for not having boo-boo face.

I prolly would've.

Honestly I'd have probably told Hunter to go f*** himself the instant I got to the back.

I think that is what's bothering me the most the day after. The whole six months leading into the show was dissention in the Bloodline. There was absolutely no hint of dissention in the Bloodline this weekend. The Usos simply lost.

[Cry Me a Wiggle]

It was also 20 years after Triple H beat Booker at WrestleMania XIX. At least we didn't have the added wrinkle of "RACISM WINS," but yet again an all-conquering heel defeats the hot babyface from another promotion. Time is a circle. There is nothing but misery booking.

I think the Bloodline will implode, they're just going to drag it out a bit. I can see Roman getting on Jey for taking the pinfall and losing the belts on Saturday which will start Jey leaving the bloodline (probably) later this year.

What if Roman would have called an audible and let Cody go over? They surely wouldn’t punish Roman severely

Honestly, it is bad timing to have him lose here yes, but given he was attack by people other than Reigns, one of them multiple times including the ending, in story I can't see how this is any worse than when Rock was screwed over at WrestleMania 2000, save for not being allowed to beat someone up afterwards.

Not saying the decision to have Cody not win here was the right one, but saying he's an Omega Bitch is a bit of a stretch IMO.

It wouldn't be so bad if he went through the exact same thing every single challenger has gone through with Roman for the past 3 years.

At some point in the match (more likely multiple points) the bloodline will interfere.

The ref will get knocked out and Roman will either be pinned far beyond a 3 count or the groggy ref will do a slow count that should have been a 3 count.

Roman wins lol.

Cody seemed to have figured this out and was priming KO and Sami to stand with him to counter some of that, except they sat in the back for half of the interference.

I agree though, saying he's the omega bitch is a bit much.

[Final Countdown Jones]

Just like my fanfictions.

Yeah, I think in the grand scheme that HHH/Booker still holds the trophy for worst feud and world title booking decision in company history. But yeah, it's just all about THE HEAT.

That story was so great…until that.

I do want to see video of Solo stealing the belt from Negative 1 though

In my head he gave him a Samoan Spike when he took it.

I'm not crazy about it either but that's where I think it will be headed.

Forbidden Door- Bloodline vs Dark Order

edit- also i guess they didn;t want to take down the Bloodline all in one weekend. now they can have roman be all passive aggrressive to the Usos "you know. i did my part and kept this family together by keeping my title. I wasn;t the one letting the bloodline down at wrestlemania. and what did you two do? where are YOUR titles? You lost to that traitor sami and you sit here looking me in the eye. have you no shame?"

eventually leading to Jey willing the title at say summerslam-ish?

[Rolent Tex]

Cody went full Goldberg which is spot on considering HHH was involved both times. Superstar comes in from another company and beats a major star in their first feud (Rock/Rollins) and then proceeded to look like chumps in their first major title shots thanks to shenanigans from the champ’s heel faction.

[Push R Truth]

Cue tonight "Wrestling has more than one loser family..."

It's been headed that way for months.

The cracks were showing with Sami's defection. This was the perfect moment to begin the end of the Bloodline. Instead Jey bitched up yet again and fell in line. How many times is he going to get disgruntled with Roman and 'challenge' him, only to fall back in line. This was the time to pull the trigger. By the time they get to it, few will even care anymore.

Perhaps you're right it might end up that way, then again Jey might end up leaving for good.

Of course WWE can't help themselves and want to drag it out even further.

I actually thought he looked nervous coming up during his entrance. Made me think he was winning more, but yeah. Both had great poker faces.

I wonder if this is just some bullshit so they can put the belt on him in Saudi Arabia, you know, to please the fans they actually give a shit about.

I feel like somebody *cough*VINCE*cough* saw how close Reigns was to 1000 days as champion and decided moving the boyhood dream from the Biggest Stage of Them All to some random ass side PPV PLE was worth it.

Though, now that you mention it, I wouldn't be surprised if the big title change ended up happening in Saudi Arabia, for the full effect.
