Cody Rhodes may have another hidden role within The Bloodline story, so we’ll see what’s
that about.
We’ll also check out Dana Brooke’s original idea for the 24/7 title, and much more
Let’s start things off with Cody Rhodes because he might have just got another big
role leading into Wrestlemania
Cody Rhodes is preparing for one of the biggest matches of his entire pro wrestling career
He’ll be taking on Roman Reigns in the main event of Wrestlemania 39, trying to end a
total reign of 900 plus days, by far the longest WWE title reign of the modern era
So that alone is quite the impossible challenge
It also doesn’t help that Roman Reigns has the numbers advantage over Cody Rhodes since
Roman is obviously backed by all of The Bloodline members
The only other individual that wants to take down Roman Reigns just as bad as Cody does
is no other than Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn was working alongside Roman Reigns and The Bloodline for just around 9 months
and he also felt the intensity of going against them as well
So Sami Zayn knows everything there is to know about Roman Reigns and The Bloodline
from both sides of the field
The other individual who seemed like he was ready to take down Roman Reigns was Jey Uso,
but we gotta temporarily scratch Jey’s name off the list because he’s back in with The
Bloodline for now
So the only other real name left to help out with the big case of taking down Roman is
Kevin Owens
Sami Zayn has gone to Kevin Owens several times and offered him the opportunity to team
up together to take down Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, but Kevin Owens rejected Sami
Zayn’s offer multiple times
Kevin Owens did not reject Sami Zayn’s offer in a hostile way, Kevin is just extremely
hurt about everything Sami has done to him over the last few months and Kevin is having
a hard time forgetting about all that
Just look at War Games as a perfect example to why Kevin Owens said no to Sami Zayn’s
offer multiple times
Sami Zayn literally attacked Kevin Owens with a low blow and just offered Kevin Owens up
on a silver platter to a pack of wolves
Sami was willing to treat a long time friend like that in order to step up within The Bloodline
ranks
And even way before that, Sami Zayn was ignoring Kevin’s advice and allowed several attacks
to happen to Kevin Owens when he could’ve prevented it
And sure, Sami Zayn has completely changed and has been taking a stand since Royal Rumble,
and he has even saved Kevin Owens a few times after Royal Rumble
But in Kevin’s eyes, he’s still thinking that it’s too little, too late for all that
Kevin Owens just can’t bring himself to team up with Sami Zayn because of everything
that has happened over the last few months
Of course everyone knows that the story is building up to Sami and Kevin’s full reunion
and it looks like seeds have already been planted for how that will unfold
There was a backstage segment on the March 6th edition of that featured Elias and Bronson
Reed having a conversation to set up a match for the following week
And that conversation was important, but if you look in the background of Elias and Bronson,
you’ll see that another important conversation is happening in the background
Cody Rhodes can be seen talking to a visually frustrated Kevin Owens
This has been a tactic that’s been heavily used on WWE television since late last summer
You gotta pay attention to every inch of the screen during backstage segments because there
could be two or three storylines progressing all at once
And that’s what was happening here with Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens’ conversation
We weren’t able to hear any of the words that were spoken between Cody Rhodes and Kevin
Owens, but we’re to assume that Cody was trying to talk some sense into Kevin Owens
about reuniting with Sami Zayn and how it’s the move he needs to make
And to further that idea, Cody Rhodes was the one to come out at the end of that raw
to stop The Bloodline’s attack on Sami Zayn
So Sami Zayn does have an ally against The Bloodline with Cody Rhodes, but obviously
Cody can’t be much help to Sami because Cody will have his hands full with Roman
The man that could perfectly help Sami Zayn with The Usos and Solo Sikoa is Kevin Owens
So it looks like Cody Rhodes will end up being the reason why Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens get
back together
Cody is the one that’s trying to convince Kevin Owens to forgive Sami Zayn and how they
all need each other to take down Roman Reigns and The Bloodline
So with Cody Rhodes getting in his ear and with Jey Uso now abandoning Sami Zayn, maybe
these are all the little factors that will get Kevin Owens to forgive Sami Zayn and team
up with him again
If anyone is gonna take down Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, it has to be a group of
superstars that are all on the same page
And if Cody, Sami, and Kevin could get on the same page, that trio is quite the threat
to The Bloodline’s titles
It would be quite the scene if Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Cody Rhodes are all covered
in gold on the Raw after Wrestlemania and they accomplish their goal of bringing The
Bloodline down
So that little backstage segment was proof that Cody Rhodes is hard at work trying to
bring Roman Reigns down
Cody Rhodes even recently appeared on the Out of Character podcast and he explained
what him and Roman have in common and some things that they don’t
Cody had this to say on Roman Reigns, quote:
"He's not feeling that pressure unless it's the pressure of wanting to keep it going.
The pressure he's feeling is this is a regular day for him, 'oh, I'll wake up and comb my
beard and slick my hair back and I main event WrestleMania.
That's what I do.'
That's not something I've ever been able to say.
So, I won't succumb to the pressure because I know he's not going to.
And I think it's one of the factors in why this is gonna be one of the biggest and best
matches bell to bell of all time.
Because the level of athletes that we both are and what it means for both of us to win.
Because don't believe a wrestler if they tell you it's not about winning or losing.
It's about winning and we both wanna win.”
End quote
So a lot is on the line at Wrestlemania and we’ll have to see who comes out on top between
Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns
——————
Dana Brooke recently spoke with Fightful and she confirmed the old rumors and reports that
she was in fact trying to push for the 24/7 title to transition into a women’s intercontinental
title
Dana explained that she thought it would open up tons of new opportunities for the women
since it’ll be another title to go after for them
Now in theory, maybe it would be nice for the women’s division to have a mid card
title because that will open up several more opportunities
But the division is still pretty thin even for the main women’s world titles, and everyone
knows that the women’s tag team division only has like one or two teams in it at a
time
So the lack of deep roster depth and the lack of overall amount of television time the title
would get is the big downsides to Dana Brooke’s idea
But as we know, Triple H was never a big fan of the 24/7 title and eventually started thinning
out its television time before finally having Nikki Cross throw it out in the trash and
it hasn’t been seen since
But it’s still interesting to hear about Dana Brooke’s idea that she had in mind
for the title
Do you think the women’s division could benefit from an intercontinental title?
