This Bloodline shit never ends. Triple H is every bit as much a one trick pony as Bischoff was. The only difference was Bischoff's trick actually worked when it was in its prime, whereas all you could really say about peak Bloodline (around Roman vs. Sami time) was that it was an improvement over previous WWE.

I been off WWE for years but I feel like that's really underselling the impact that the Bloodline had on restoring fan interest in WWE and finally making Roman the star they were trying to force him to be for the first half decade.

Of course with that being said, it certainly isn't drawing me in and I'd be a lot more compelled to watch is they presented something new that isn't Roman, Cody and Seth in an eternal game of musical chairs.

I think the big problem is the fact that we're going back to a restored Bloodline after it had fallen apart 2 years ago.

If it ends with Roman getting retired and the bloodline ending permanently maybe it'll work out but I just don't see it.

Also Roman is at the stage of his stardom where he needs to start losing to future talent to set up the next generation.

I consider the Bloodline Saga one of best WWE storylines during a 4-5 year period. 2020 was the prologue with Roman returning as heel and beating the acknowledgement into Uso, leading to the birth of the Tribal Chief. There were some lowlights of course, like the forced Brock Lesnar matches but even that led to Roman becoming undisputed champion earning final boss status.

Then, late 2022-mid 2023 was peak Bloodline with Sami Zayn as honorary Uce, the Sami turn and finally the Usos turning on Roman. Absolute cinema, nothing could touch it imo. Obviously they botched that too with Jimmy turning heel because reasons, but still.

Then the epic climax at WrestleMania 40 with the fall of Roman and Cody finishing the story. You could say that the war with Solo afterwards was a nice epilogue with Roman winning Tribal combat to remain the OTC.

And now....now it's just pointless. What if Fatu ends up turning on Roman and beating him for the title down the line? Who cares? He already lost twice and if the plan was to get the belt on him they should have put the belt on him already. He's been wasted as a wild dog on a leash, with a different owner this time. And if all this doesn't end up with Fatu going over then it's even more pointless. Meanwhile the Usos are back to being their 2021 versions, only with no gold this time. And at least back then they were heels, now they're faces with heel attitudes.

Rant over. Now let's pretend that the future holds Fatu vs. Breakker vs. Oba at some WrestleMania because that would be money and all three are ready for it.

The Uso’s being Romans bitches again makes absolutely no sense after everything what’s happened, I’ve got a feeling Herman will end up being back too.
