The Bloodline just put on another cinematic scene, so we’ll see what’s new there.
We’ll also check out what’s going on with Alexa Bliss, and more
Let’s start things off with Roman Reigns versus Kevin Owens from the 2023 Royal Rumble
Early on during Royal Rumble weekend, there were some early reports that Roman Reigns
and Kevin Owens were going to main event the Royal Rumble event over the actual Royal Rumble
match itself
As everyone is aware, the Royal Rumble match always main events the actual Royal Rumble
event, so when the news came out that Roman and Kevin were going to close the show, fans
figured something bigger than the Royal Rumble match itself was going to go down during the
close moments of that title match
So the first big piece of the story took place at the Royal Rumble pre-show
The Bloodline members were all backstage, everyone was quiet, but tensions were still
high because the elephant in the room was that Sami Zayn once again disobeyed Roman’s
direct order to stay away from the Smackdown before Royal Rumble
Roman scolds Sami Zayn for this, but Jey Uso actually speaks out and takes responsibility,
saying that since The Usos were kicked out of the building, he called in Sami Zayn to
be there for Solo Sikoa
Roman’s new order was that Sami Zayn would be coming out with him during his title match
against Kevin Owens while everyone else stays behind backstage
So we get to the match itself
Sami Zayn is out there with Roman Reigns, he’s throwing the one up, but obviously
he’s not himself
Sami looked nervous and frightened the entire time from start to finish
The first real time in the match where Sami Zayn was tested was the point in the match
where the referee gets knocked out
Roman orders Sami Zayn to get him a steel chair
Sami takes forever to find the chair and then once he gets has the chair in his hands, he
thinks about it and hesitates for a moment before giving it to Roman
And it was the hesitation and stalling that allowed Kevin Owens to dodge the chair attack
and get the upper hand for a moment
But ultimately it’s not enough and Roman Reigns comes back to win the match against
Kevin Owens
And this is of course where The Bloodline took things to the next level
Defeating Kevin Owens wasn’t enough for Roman Reigns
It looks like Roman already had a post match attack planned for Kevin Owens
That’s why all of the other bloodline members came out with everything that Roman requested,
such as the handcuffs
It also looks like Sami Zayn was left out of the loop about the plans for the post match
attack on Kevin Owens, so this was all shocking and quickly happening right in front of him
The Bloodline handcuffs Kevin Owens to the ropes and they all go at it with him
Roman Reigns is in position to slam Kevin Owens right in the head with the steel chair,
but Sami Zayn steps in the way
And Sami’s explanation was pretty reasonable, he was saying that Roman already won, he made
his point, and how this post match beatdown was beneath him
So Roman turns things around and decides to give Sami the chair
That was Roman basically saying ‘well if it’s beneath me, then here, you do it’
So Sami Zayn takes the chair and after a while of thinking the situation out, Sami hits Roman
Reigns in the back with the chair instead of hitting Kevin Owens
The moment was definitely meant to mirror The Shield’s moment of betrayal where Seth
Rollins betrayed Roman Reigns by hitting him in the back with a steel chair
So similar situation here, Roman Reigns basically got betrayed again by someone who he thought
was dedicated and close to him
So Roman, Jimmy, and Solo Sikoa all instantly jump all over Sami Zayn and take him out
But it was Jey Uso who quietly stood in the corner and looked like he was still unsure
if Sami had truly done anything wrong or not
You can hear Jimmy and Roman reminding Jey that Sami wasn’t his brother and to look
at what he just did
But Jey doesn’t budge and eventually rolls out of the ring and walks up the ramp by himself
while The Bloodline continues the attack on Kevin and Sami
Everyone thought that the day Sami Zayn gets kicked out of The Bloodline would be one of
the most glorious days of Jey Uso’s life since he always hated Sami
But now we see such a big twist and a completely different story and outcome following Sami’s
removal from The Bloodline
Instead of Jey celebrating and enjoying the moment, Sami Zayn’s courage to hit Roman
and take a stand has awaken something within Jey
A part of Jey has to agree with Sami Zayn.
He had to think that the post match attack on Kevin Owens was probably too much and after
nearly three years of taking orders from Roman, Jey has to be tired of not being in control
of his own decisions and actions
Jey also probably sees a lot of himself in Sami Zayn and how the situation unfolded.
He probably wishes it was him hitting Roman with that chair instead of Sami
Jey Uso was the very first individual to feel the wrath of this new version of Roman Reigns
back in 2020
Jey was beaten down, told what to do, and basically was in Sami’s same position all
those years ago
So to see the exact situation pretty much happening again probably reminded him of 2020
And like we saw the court segment as well, Jey Uso is well aware that Sami Zayn never
had a single bad intention towards The Bloodline
He was loyal and wanted nothing in return from them.
Plus Sami added more depth and man power to the bloodline’s numbers
So to lose Sami Zayn in the group basically over nothing was probably where Jey Uso drew
the line at
Jey Uso also took to Instagram to post the quote or “I’m out” along with the red
blood drop emoji
A lot of fans are reading into that caption from Jey
A lot of fans are wondering if he’s saying that he’s out of The Bloodline or what exactly
is he out from?
Well it looks like Jey was referring to strictly the Royal Rumble, saying that he had to get
out of there
It doesn’t look like he was declaring himself out of The Bloodline quite yet, that’s something
that he definitely wouldn’t do over an Instagram caption as well
Plus the fact that Jey Uso is still one half of the tag team champions
Sure, he may be upset, he may be starting to stand up towards Roman Reigns, but it definitely
looks like Jey Uso will still be sticking around for a while longer in the bloodline
Especially while they still have those tag team titles in their possession
Once those titles are gone from the Usos, then all bets are off and maybe we’ll see
even bigger cracks show up between Jey Uso and The Bloodline
But it looks like Sami’s removal from The Bloodline may have just accidentally started
the downfall of The Bloodline
—————————-
Alexa Bliss came up unsuccessful during her title match at the Royal Rumble, and then
she was greeted by Uncle Howdy after the match
We see the same video we’ve been seeing for a few weeks now
It shows the abandoned playground, highlights of Alexa’s time with Bray Wyatt, and it
ends with Howdy asking Alexa if she still feels in charge?
So maybe that’s the story and direction here
Alexa won’t really break through and win big matches until she fully embraces Howdy
and let’s him take control of her
Similar to Bray Wyatt, if Alexa does let Howdy take control, we’re guaranteed to see a
brand new dark version for Alexa Bliss
It won’t be her old 2020 or 2021 self, this will probably be a brand new spin on the dark
Alexa Bliss
Some fans are even throwing around theories with the new version of Aus-ka
Alexa and Aus-ka were former tag team champions together, and with the both of them now embracing
their dark sides, could Alexa and Bray even bring Aus-ka into the fold there?
So there’s still a lot to come out of all of these stories
