I appreciate that Solo is at least being given the ball. I think Roman’s coming back to take that necklace at the end of the show.
It’ll be more interesting to see how they handle Cody after the return. Is he the 1B to Roman’s 1A? How will that look? Will the Bloodline stuff almost become self-contained like the Codyverse was? It should be fun.

I hope that Cody retains his importance when Roman finally comes back from vacation. |

Since he came in, he's felt more like the leader of the group than Solo does. Once it clicks in his whirling tornado of a head of like “…Wait, why am I following YOU?”, that’s another story you can tell. Solo losing at S’slam should set that up. |

I mean, if Bloodline Pensacola v Bloodline Black And Red is meant to be the WarGames match, you’ll have to hold off on that for a bit yet. It’s possible as a WM41 match, I guess. |

The new bloodline is very scary. They do a plodding main event even worse than Roman!?!

I wonder if the reason Roman barely shows up anymore is related to his health. As far as being a star, he's in his prime. The audience has grown a lot since 2022, and Roman was the biggest reason for that. Don't you think WWE would offer him as much money as he wants to at least show up once a week, or every other week? He'd still have a lot of time to spend with his family.

I really think they need a mouthpiece. Solo can cut a promo, but its not like they are amazing

I said it in the SD thread and I wanna say it here. I think Solo's kinda underrated given some comments recently tbh. While Jacob is amazing, Jacob ain't getting booed like Solo nor does Jacob have Solo's history and silent demeanor. Solo is the smart silent calculated dude. Jacob is the wild uncontrollable monster.
Both carry different roles. I couldn't see Jacob as leader because he's too uncontrollable to be leader but as an enforcer? He's perfect.

Oh look, the show ends with the Bloodline beating down and chumping out the babyfaces AGAIN.
How riveting.

I do like the distinction between Roman's Bloodline and this Bloodline.
Roman's had a coolness factor. They were heels that did get booed, but also fans bought the merch like crazy, popped for the slogans, and threw the ones in the air.
This Bloodline (which has to be revealed that Rock is calling the shots), doesn't have that coolness factor. They're just vicious motherf***ers.

They’ve been doing this for years now, I’m sick of it. |

Plus, imagine if WWE is setting up where it’s the Rock is the true leader of the new bloodline and not Solo-only gets better. |

No cap, I’m kinda digging Solo being presented as basically the Urien to Roman’s Gill (or the Starscream to his Megatron) the angry second-in-command who’s just waiting to shove their boss out the way so they can sit in their chair, even though they lack their boss’s leadership skills.

Calling it, Hikuleo will appear at Summerslam and cause Solo to win Solo as WWE champ? Bold prediction my friend. My only issue with Hikuleo is he is 6'8, but he holds himself like he's 5'5. He also was not the sharpest performer in New Japan |

At this point, I guess we just want to see the Bloodline publicly flogged to make up for the heat endings.

Or are you just saying he's kinda meh?
