Yeah, the story for all intents and purposes still seems to be leading to Cody again But they have got multiple people over; so I guess that is your long term plan It really hasn't felt like it's been worth it to wait on Cody for an entire extra year the way this is going. Every time it feels like something's about to happen to Roman it just... doesn't happen. I mean; Sami and KO are over as tag champs, Jey is looking a legit singles wrestler; Solo is coming into his own and Jimmy who never really had any solo run whatsoever could be stepping up into something Taking Cody out the equation (who has gotten more over since Mania), people they are associating with Roman is in a better position then they were before |

Boy you know you've done something special when a lot of the argument is boiling down to "Oh my god who could care about this shit anymore?" "I CARE!!" Poor Punk, he thought he was the truly divisive angle maker these days  |

Business says otherwise with them doing well The long term plan is divisive but it is working for them I can't deny that the storyline has peaked very well at times But this feels like the second worst low point since Cody loss, just like WCW Russo shit, not a fan at all. Feels like they're stretching like Laffy Taffy now. I'm not sure how it's that far of a low. Everyone told me there was no chance of Jey winning, and he didn't, but he came out looking strong and there's an Uso feud come out of it. |

Honestly should have just ended the Usos’ involvement in Roman with MitB. Don’t even have Jey challenge him for the belt. Just a thoroughly stupid call.

I wish I could give two shits about an Usos feud but my god I do not At least they aren't gonna be tag champs forever anymore? |

I did enjoy how disgusted at Jimmy that Graves and Cole were

Pick up the phone, Jey, and call Sami. Make amends. And kick the shit out of the Bloodline. Jey with Sami Owens vs Jimmy, Solo, and Roman at Survivor Series? |

I mean it has worked Fair play to them that they can dragging it and not only have it not hurt business; it has kept shit moving. It is frustrating but from their side they are pushing the right buttons they need to |

Put Cody on the babyface side and whoever Cody is feuding against at the time on the heel side. Start threading the needle by early winter if WWE is going to do Cody/Roman II at Wrestlemania 40. |

Screw business. I do not care at all if it’s selling tickets, shit is still shit.

So Jimmy spends weeks trying to get through to his brother to stop being Romans bitch, then screws over said brother. What the f***?

Prior to tonight my guess for WM 40 was Roman/Cody 2 and the Usos Explode. It would be hard for them to go right back to tagging because they pinned Roman in a tag match, so it almost feels like the tag titles would be a little beneath them at this point. Always felt like Jey vs Jimmy was where they had to go, or maybe a triple threat with Solo.
Although I expected this to happen closer to Mania. This is early.

Wasn't one of the big buildups to the reason this match happened because Jimmy got his ass kicked by Solo per Roman's request?

That was hilarious. This story has gone from Shawshank Redemption levels of quality to The Room.
