It was not a smooth return on Raw for Roman Reigns and The Bloodline at all
The March 20th edition of Raw marked the first time that Roman Reigns
had appeared on Raw in quite a long time and it truly was very eventful
The show kicked off by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn making their first appearance since they reunited
They talked things through, cleared the air on their small remaining issues and
they turned their attention to the Wrestlemania sign,
hinting at the idea of coming after The Usos and the undisputed tag team titles
So out comes The Usos to address that challenge from Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens
At first, The Usos seemed very dismissive of the
challenge from Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, especially Jimmy Uso
Jimmy didn’t think they deserved the title shot and was ready to fully turn them down
But it was Jey Uso who kind of had a change of heart and was
looking at the challenge from another perspective
Jey said that this was the perfect way to get rid of The Bloodline’s
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn issue once and for all
So Jey turns around and fully accepts the challenge from Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn
And from that moment on, it was official. It’ll be Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens versus
The Usos at Wrestlemania for the undisputed tag team titles, brothers versus brothers
So this segment was a big deal because it obviously made that big tag team match official,
but there was another element in this segment that will affect The Bloodline’s overall story
And that element is that Jey Uso fully called the shots and made
the decision to accept Kevin and Sami’s challenge all on his own
As we all know, Bloodline operations don’t usually run in that fashion
The way The Bloodline usually makes decisions is by all of the members taking the matters
and situations to Roman Reigns and for him to solely call the shots on their moves
So once again, maybe it’s intentional, maybe it’s not intentional… but Jey Uso
just basically disrespected Roman Reigns in the biggest way right there by making
the decision right on the spot on his own without consulting Roman Reigns at all
So that’s the first big strike for Jey Uso since he made his return to The Bloodline
We then see a backstage segment between Roman Reigns and The Bloodline members
The first sign of tension in this segment comes from Jimmy Uso to Roman Reigns
For the very time in a very long time,
Jimmy Uso was very snappy and had a attitude towards Roman Reigns
Jimmy was still upset about how Roman was going to blame Jimmy for Jey’s absence and his whereabouts
Even though Jey is back and Jimmy didn’t face any punishments from Roman,
Jimmy still hasn’t forgotten about that and threw it back in Roman’s face here
But then Roman asks everyone to leave the room except for Jey Uso
And this was the big moment that we’ve been looking forward to for a long time now as well
This was the first time Jey and Roman had a conversation together since before the
events of the Royal Rumble and what Sami did during that show
They did quickly interact with each other in a hostile way at Elimination Chamber,
but this was really the first time that they had a civilized conversation since before Jey’s walkout
Roman once again asks Jey about where he currently stands, is he with The Bloodline or not?
Jey Uso says that he’s with Roman and that he’s part of the bloodline
Roman dismisses Jey, but before letting him go,
Roman tells Jey that he loves him, Roman pauses and waits for Jey to say it back,
but Jey just stays there in silence until he finally gets up and walks off
Roman Reigns then tells Paul Heyman that he got the answers he was looking for from Jey Uso
So this is something that we haven’t really seen in The Bloodline’s entire existence,
both of The Uso brothers were giving Roman a little bit of a cold shoulder
Jimmy was snappy and raised his voice about how wrong it
was that Roman was going to hold him accountable for Jey’s previous actions
And even though Jey did say he was bloodline, Jey did call the shots during the opening segment
of Raw to book the match for Wrestlemania and he didn’t say that he loved Roman back
So for the first time in a while, The Usos are still with Roman,
but there appears to be a handful of issues there that are present
But Roman then makes a request for The Usos to go eat, go on the private jet,
and take the rest of the night off, but he requests for Solo Sikoa to
stay behind and come out with him later on in night for the main event segment
Now again, knowing the gaslighting manipulative machine that Roman Reigns is,
it’s hard to really look into his true intentions of giving the Usos the rest of the night off
Maybe Roman knew that The Usos weren’t really completely cool at the moment and they both had
some conflicts going on with him, so that was his way of maybe trying to show them
that he wasn’t holding any grudges and was trying to make things right with them again
Or maybe Roman still doesn’t trust them and is keeping a close eye on them, he just gave them
the rest of the night off and food as maybe a way to cool them down and make them think everything
is okay, but in reality, he’s still very suspicious of them. That’s highly possible as well
So since the Usos and Roman’s relationship is a bit bumpy right now, Roman went with
The Bloodline’s enforcer, Solo Sikoa, to be his main form of protection for the night
This led to Roman and Cody’s promo with each other to close out Raw
Roman’s main argument was that Cody Rhodes always runs away when things get tough
Roman said that Cody didn’t wanna deal with playing the Stardust role in WWE,
so he ran away from the company
Roman said that Cody Rhodes went and created his own promotion with AEW,
but when he couldn’t get over in his own promotion, so he ran away from that too
Cody’s response back to Roman was definitely heavy hitting and you can tell that it affected Roman
Cody once again pointed out all of the cracks that are being shown within The Bloodline right now
Cody said that once the world titles are out of Roman’s possession, Jey Uso will be the first
one to leave, followed by Jimmy Uso, followed by Solo Sikoa, how Paul Heyman would go back
to Brock Lesnar, and how Roman will be left with literally nothing and no one by his side
Cody also pointed out some similarities between himself and Solo
Sikoa
He said how Solo’s current position sort of reminds him of when he was the
right hand to Randy Orton during the days of the Legacy faction
Cody, speaking from experience, said how Solo may think he’s ready, but he’s not actually ready
So when Roman just retreats and leaves the ring after getting stung by Cody’s words,
Solo Sikoa stays in the ring to confront Cody
Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns are both surprised by Solo staying behind because
usually Solo is really good at following orders and does whatever is asked from him
But not this time, he didn’t quietly follow behind Roman, he stood behind to get in Cody’s face
As Solo is about to finally do something to Cody Rhodes, Roman holds him back from doing so
So with Cody’s remarks and Solo actually seeing Roman hold him back,
maybe Solo starts to have some thoughts and takes what Cody Rhodes said into consideration
So as you can see it was an extremely stressful night for
Roman Reigns that shows he no longer has full control over the bloodline members
Jimmy Uso is mad that Roman was gonna hold him accountable for Jey’s actions,
Jey Uso is upset with Roman for things dating back to 2020,
and now Solo Sikoa is being a little disobedient towards orders as well
So everything Cody Rhodes said could have a strong chance of
happening real soon in the very near future
If all of their titles disappear after Wrestlemania, could the Bloodline truly
be in its final days where Roman will be standing all by himself with no one beside him?
