Jey pinning Roman at MITB is the right call, so as to help set up the Summerslam match.
Apropos of nothing, what's the contract status of Guerrillas of Destiny? Are they still with NJPW?

There was a rumor they were supposed to make the jump but Tama signed a new deal last year Him, Loa and Hikuleo are all in the G1 for next month

They got me a little because I was starting to think they'd keep Jey/Jimmy at odds a couple more weeks before Jey kicked Roman. Although thinking logically it had to be tonight. Roman's next appearance is the night before MITB and they're not going to leave it so long and announce the match less than 24 hours before the PPV. Re-posting what I'm thinking/hoping will happen: MITB - Usos beat Roman & Solo (he's not winning the title so I'd give Jey the honor of being the first person to pin heel Roman) Summerslam - Roman v Jey Survivor Series - Usos/Sami/KO v Roman/Solo/?/? war games (babyfaces win and have their big moment of triumph, Solo gets pinned and Roman blames him) Royal Rumble - Roman v Solo Wrestlemania - Roman drops the title to Cody This is all great but I don’t expect them to force new characters onto the heel side for War Games… I wonder if it’ll be LWO vs Judgment Day? Even though the Bloodline in the match makes the most sense.

I guess but everyone else in the match has been so entrenched in the storyline for years that two others that aren’t in the Samoan family would just stand out like a sore thumb IMO.

I like the angle that Roman can't trust anyone from his family other than Solo, so he just turns to people outside the family to help with his problem.

I guess, but there is not THAT much juice left to this story. And it still at no point has felt like Roman needed the title for this story to be the way it is.

It’s been Roman and the Usos for nearly 3 years now and it still feels fresh to most people. How would the crumbling of the empire for under a year not have much juice left? Seems like a LOT of meat is left on that bone to get us to Mania.

Oooh boy that was so good. When Jey started talking to Jimmy and got into it, I had to put my glasses on. Jey’s so fricken good man and that “you out!..and so am I” holy shit man hahaha Just great stuff. Roman sold that double superkick like a shotgun blast, goddamn. That second one?? Got-DAMN. Hell of a moment for all three guys.

The 1:35 mark, intentional or not, is f***ing art. That slow zoom in on Roman's dejected face as all you hear is "IT'S NOT PARANOIA, IT'S THE USOS" needs to be hung in a museum lol

Both “The Bloodline breaking up storyline is cooking along real nicely” and “It might be a better storyline if someone else had won the world title already” can be true.
That said… Jiminy f***, that double super kick to Reigns. Someone was aiming to give Reigns’s great grandchildren hereditary CTE from that, either the Usos with the kicks itself or Reigns from the bump.

So I only passively follow stuff outside of WWE & AEW. So what's the contract status of the Anoia members outside WWE?
There's GOD and Jacob Fatu. I know I'm missing others. What's the odds that we could see them show up?
I've been running with Jacob Fatu and Solo as a team on WWE 2K23 & out of everyone in MLW he's the most impressive to me.

I just watched this segment and my god, that might be the best sell I’ve seen from a double superkick ever. They flattened Roman.
I have to say they’ve done a real good job of dragging this out and keeping it a super hot angle even though there have been at least a couple of more logical endings along the way (Sami, Cody)
