The Natural Posted June 29 Posted June 29 34 minutes ago, Ziggy said: I'm pretty sure Roman has had the most creative say in the direction of this whole bloodline angle since he's been gone. Heyman as well but I'm sure mostly everything we've been seeing with this new Bloodline has been Roman's vision not only to make people want him back more and more but to give Solo the ball in a way he probably wouldn't be given if Roman was around. I don't think Solo would be excepted as much as a boss time heel if Roman was still on TV. I really don't think WWE would even give Solo this role yet if it wasn't for Roman structuring this angle in a way to build up heat for his return. I don't know how long it's going to take but Jacob Fatu is going to be a star. The only way he won't be is if WWE gets in his way or if Roman himself feels threatened by Jacob getting to his level Feels like Jacob Fatu is a star already and he's only made two appearances. Amazing how the Bloodline story is still going strong from starting in 2020 to 2024. 1

I did see Paul take a bodyslam from Lex Luger at a Meadowlands house show .... this was the show that featured Lawrence Taylor in Luger's corner. 2
For Great Justice Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Really impressive how they’ve laid it out. Pretty clear this leads to Wargames, but on the way we’ll get the duality of Jimmy, Sami and ultimately Jey rejoining Roman one by one, just like they did in leaving him one by one. Really well done stuff. 2

Brock Lesnar put Paul Heyman through the announce table vs. Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2022. Edited June 29 by The Natural 1

While I'm sure Roman and Heyman take the lead Heyman admitted a while ago they actually have meetings with all involved on direction. Its interesting since that is probably anywhere from 6-12 people involved at any given time. Edited June 30 by Eivion 1
Phantom Lord Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Theres video of a Heyman vs Ryback at msg from like 2012. The Shield is involved but Heyman goes through a table and takes Ryback's finisher.
The Great ML Posted June 29 Posted June 29 (edited) Paul was always basic on his bumps, even going back to WCW 1991. He’d take a body slam from El Gigante or a Steinerline sparingly. I’d say the bump from Friday might have been the most physical one he’s ever taken. Edited June 29 by The Great ML
Greggulator Posted June 29 Posted June 29 I believe Michael Hayes produces every Bloodline segment. Awesome Smackdown bookended by two incredible segments. Great babyface fire at the beginning. KO is just the absolute greatest — playing to the crowd perfectly before flying off through a table like a madman. The final segment was a perfect mugging — they built up to it perfectly over the weeks but it was still so shocking and looked brutal. New Bloodline rules. 1

This shouldn't be surprising given that he was drafted a 2nd time back to main roster and as far as I know NEVER showed up on any WWE product. Maybe he snuck in on a Main Event show I just watched him on Mase and Mansoors Twitch. I think y’all should check it out as well as the interview with SRS. I can’t think of him name but he reminds me of the Spirit Squad member that used to date Torrie Wilson. I think he’ll do well on the indies . I think he’ll go the Mustafa Ali route and kill it on the indies before going back
Steventon Posted June 30 Posted June 30 The Bloodline stuff is all good but the one thing that I can't shake is that Solo was basically canon fodder before this. He was always talked about like he was a threat, but was basically a JTTS who only had 1 win in the last 6 months and has like that 1 win over Cena in Saudi Arabia as his only notable singles win. If the plan was to have him in this role, they really should have done a better job Rumble to Mania building him up and even having him win something at WM. Until the arrival of Jacob, this has felt more like nWo B-Team rather than Wolfpac. 2
