You never would have known they lost the tag titles. That’s the problem for me atm. Since Mania KO & Sami have been eating losses and The Uso’s are winning. I get you want The Uso’s to have a rematch but there has to be a better way. At least Roman is ignoring them that’s something I guess.

Here is my timeline of enjoyment with the Bloodline:
- Starting point with Jey vs. Roman to when Jimmy comes along to disrupt things: Pretty fun
- Roman/Jey/Jimmy just all being heels that every so often tease disloyalty + Heyman teasing being with Brock: Pretty boring and tedious
- Sami joining and ultimately leaving: Amazing stuff
- Right now w/ them all just being heels and still winning most of their matches: I just want it to end

If there was no Sami, I don't think fans would be talking about this as some epic story. |

If there was no Sami, I don't think fans would be talking about this as some epic story. Absolutely. It was a fresher way of bringing back the Jey stuff without it seeming cliche and gave Sami some purpose after a year of basically not doing much at all outside of feuding with Johnny Knoxville. The fact that it basically isn’t over when the tag title win was basically the end of one arch is baffling, especially when not only is Riddle being brought in to remind people he existed with this at one point but also Cody’s got no involvement at all even though Solo was the guy to screw him over is baffling. Like, I’d honestly have had all the champions (Cody would have won obviously) against Solo and the Usos at Backlash to keep this going and build the Brock match for a different show if they were going to keep this up for a bit longer. |

Without Sami like a majority of this is just a few repeating plot points/segments/matches continuing for three years with no end in sight
-Roman sits in his room brooding wondering if a Bloodline member will betray him
-Bloodline member shows signs they may leave Bloodline (they don't)
-Roman cuts the same promo about how much of a loser his opponent who doesn't matter is and how he's the greatest acknowledge him
-Bloodline beats everyone up (even in the Sami part 90% of the major plot points were still this but his work made it feel like it was maybe going somewhere)
-Bloodline arrives in their cars to start show
-Roman has the same match where he trash talks to the camera for 20 minutes then has a fart finish where an Uso interferes, deflating everyone
-Roman's other match types: him just easily squashing his opponent or him standing on the tag rope the whole time taking zero bumps and only coming in to get the pin

I think they will break up later after the Usos are unsuccessful in regaining the titles from Sami/KO. Jey took the pinfall at Mania and he will probably get pinned again, which would lead to Jey getting booted from the group. Which in the end makes Jey look like as big of a bitch as Cody. Sami is the only one that came out of this looking like he has any balls because he stood toe to toe with Roman and got tired of his garbage. Jey could have turned on Roman at anytime between them booting Sami and Mania and they had multiple storyline routes to do so and he just decided to stay Roman’s bitch and apparently that’s what he’ll be until he gets unceremoniously booted. It’s as bad as Cody getting cheated and letting it go instead of being a man and getting back at them. Imagine WrestleMania 15. Stone Cold vs The Rock ends when the entire Corporation run in and destroy both Austin and Foley. And Vince counts the pin and Rock retains. Followed by Austin calling Rock the better man on Raw the next night. Austin would have made the lives of every member of the Corporation a living hell until a rematch took place. Which is what should be happening. If Roman isn't going to be around, Cody should be taking out every member of the Bloodline until a rematch happens. It should be Cody teaming with Sami and KO against Solo and The Usos at Backlash. He'll, put some stipulations to make it interesting. If The Bloodline wins, then The Usos win the Tag Titles. If Cody's team wins, he gets his rematch. At least it would be something. |

They really needed that beginning-of-the-end moment, with Cody winning. Instead we get a stupid finish and the same crap happening again and again and them looking stronger than ever, and the leader disappears for weeks at time....
Yep this NWO 2.0.
Is Jey going to start the Bloodline Read and Black with Cody and Sammy?
Is the Bloodline going to end on a whimper with B-team of Manu and Sim Snuka

Even with Sami there were weeks upon weeks of, "Is Sami going to keep putting up with the Bloodline abusing him and killing his best friend?! Yes. How about this time?! Yes. How about this time?! Yes. How about this time?! Yes. How about this time?! Yes. How about this time?! Yes. How about this time?! Yes," with little progress or point.

Yes. How about this time?! Yes. How about this time?! Yes. How about this time?! Yes. How about this time?! Yes," with little progress or point. And the big Rumble moment with Sami was basically just 40 minutes of the Bloodline Beats Everyone Up™ and Will Jey Leave THIS Time?!?! (No)™, and then the Bloodline having Sami and KO's number like 90% of the time in the WM build after that so they could win one (1) match that already feels like it doesn't matter. |

It’s as bad as Cody getting cheated and letting it go instead of being a man and getting back at them. Perhaps but Jey was never going to leave until he and his brother lost the tag titles first. It's clear Sami is going to keep trying or "beating sense into Jey" until he Jey leaves the Bloodline. I would have liked to see their storyline end at Mania but I don't mind it myself. They needed to lose them but they had a perfect lead in to Jey vs Roman and Jey vs Jimmy after Mania. Roman strong arms Jey into the tag match by insinuating he’ll hurt Jimmy if he doesn’t. Jey sees that but Jimmy doesn’t so Roman plays off Jey as a traitor to Jimmy post-Mania. Jey should have turned on him in the ME distracting the rest of the Bloodline. |

It’s also so weird how the wrestlers and commentators act like Roman is just the god of wrestling when we see him cheat over and over and over.
You can say, like Ric Flair, how good he is but also call him a sack of shit. But it’s just, “God damn acknowledge that man.“

They can maybe reheat this storyline down the way but it will never be as hot as it could have been if you had Jey finally stand up to Roman and help Sami (or even Cody) at mania. They totally dropped the ball on this.

Bloodline B-Team would make ratings history if they fueded with Ernest “the Cat” Miller like the nWo B-Team did. Manu vs The Cat is the feud we all need. |

But it’s just, “God damn acknowledge that man.“ In general WWE takes this baffling approach to where cheating seems to be considered a perfectly respectable tactic that faces shouldn't indulge in but can do nothing but respect the hustle in regards to and it's just so damn weird and stupid. |

And make no mistake about it, absolutely no one thought that Sami would get as over as he did and that his association with the Bloodline would be as great as it was |

It's a weekly occurrence you'll hear "this piece of shit is also very good at wrestling. Which is why it's a shame he's a cheating piece of shit." |

Be prepared for Sami and Kevin to likely drop the titles back to The Usos really soon. The Saudi Arabia show is now Night of Champions again, and it's being advertised as "every single title will be defended". It's no longer King/Queen of the Ring themed.

It looks like a given The Usos are going to be going over at Backlash. |
