The Bloodline had another big moment at Money In The Bank, so we’ll see what’s going
on there and where it could be leading for Roman Reigns and Jey Uso
Let’s start things off with the latest on The Bloodline’s civil war match and storyline
Last time we went over this story, we went over that disrespectful moment between Roman
Reigns and Solo Sikoa, where Roman has laughing at the thought of Solo Sikoa taking over as
tribal chief, which Solo obviously took offense to and wasn’t happy to see Roman laughing
at
We went over how that moment right there could be a very big hint that Roman’s attitude
will eventually cost him everything, including Solo Sikoa being by his side
But we get to Money In The Bank and the night already started off with a great segment for
the story
Kayla Braxton interviewed Paul Heyman and we saw a side of Paul Heyman that we usually
don’t see
Heyman was all red-eyed with tears rolling down his face as he spoke about The Bloodline’s
tag team match
He spoke about how he’s known The Usos since they were four years old and how he’s known
the family for forty years
Paul Heyman also said that he’s never seen Roman Reigns like this, in this type of mood
He said that we weren’t going to see the regular Roman Reigns, how we were going to
see a warrior that was raised by the wild Samoans
Heyman says that Roman was going to wipe the Usos off the face of WWE and how they won’t
be welcome at the next family gatherings
He said that the beating Roman was going to give the Usos was going to violate the rules
of Sports Entertainment, how it wasn’t going to be P.G., and how he feels sorry for whoever
has to see it
But Paul Heyman ends this interview with a very intriguing line, he says that there’s
nothing he can do to stop it
So thats very interesting and it makes you wonder if even Paul Heyman is feeling a bit
conflicted about The Bloodline’s split himself
Like he said, he’s known the family forever and known the Usos for basically their entire
lives, so is there a part of Paul Heyman that actually doesn’t wanna see this civil war
go down and wishes that everything was still all peaceful?
It’s a question we gotta ask especially after this interview where it just seemed
like Paul Heyman himself was so torn with everything that’s happening
And again, it’s Heyman’s opening and closing lines that are quite scary
He opened the interview by saying that he’s never seen Roman like this and then closed
it by basically saying that he can’t stop him or control him anymore
So this could be some massive foreshadowing for where the mental state of Roman’s character
could be going next
As it’s clear to see, Roman’s mental stability has been declining more and more over the
last few years
And it’s something we definitely mentioned before, but the longer Roman’s title reign
goes on for, the longer he appears to become more insane and mad with power
So with each day that goes by, Roman basically is becoming more and more unreliable and just
uncontrollable
A lot of fans often keep comparing it to Mad King from Game Of Thrones, and as the story
continues to unfold, we can definitely see the similarities
The Mad King had it all, he was king, he was sitting on top of everything
But as the time went on, he started to become mad with that power, started making insanely
Irrational decisions, and had to eventually be put down by one of his own men to finally
put the chaos to rest
And as Roman’s story goes on, the more and more his story does appear to resemble the
mad king’s story
But that appears to be what has Paul Heyman so emotional, Roman is entering a state that
appears to be uncontrollable and Heyman doesn’t know what to do about it
In 2020, Paul Heyman could’ve talked Roman Reigns out of doing pretty much anything
But now in 2023, it looks like Heyman has no control over Roman and even he is fearful
of where this is gonna go next
But then we get to the Bloodline civil war tag team match and it lived up to everyone’s
expectations
There were several false finishes that had everyone fooled
You had the stacked pin from Roman to the Usos where they both kicked out at the last
second
Then you had Jey’s ten count pin-fall on Roman Reigns while the referee was down
and then you finally the actual finish that saw Roman Reigns getting pinned by Jey Uso
to officially give The Usos the win
This was such a huge moment because Roman Reigns had not taken a pin since December
2019, exactly 1,294 days since he was last pinned
And with this pin, there’s some fans that believe that Roman could be seen whispering
‘I love you’ to Jey Uso during the pin, and how Jey acknowledges it by squeezing Roman’s
arm
Some fans claim they saw it, some fans say it’s a bit unclear, but that’s what was
going around
But it was an explosive moment that the crowd went nuts for
Obviously, the weight of the moment wouldn’t have been as big if Solo Sikoa ate the pin
Sure, Solo getting pinned still would’ve counted as The Usos getting the win, but the
moment was even larger due to the fact that it was Roman Reigns who got pinned
For almost four years, he went without getting pinned, he didn’t seem human, didn’t seem
like he would ever get pinned, but now The Usos exposed that Roman is human and can be
defeated
And after the match ended, Roman Reigns can be seen yelling at the top of his lungs outside
the ring, just in total disbelief about what just happened
Everything is coming crashing down for Roman all at once.
He lost Sami Zayn, he lost The Usos, Solo Sikoa could be the on verge of leaving him,
and now he’s been pinned for the first time since 2019
Everything is falling apart for Roman Reigns and has no one to blame except himself.
If Roman just would’ve stayed cool, everyone including Sami Zayn and The Usos probably
would’ve been still been by his side right now
But because of his own actions, all he does is drive people away from him
And another good thing about Roman getting pinned at Money In The Bank is that he can’t
shrug off the loss and blame Solo Sikoa for getting pinned
It was Roman who got pinned and lost the match, so Solo Sikoa has no fault here
As far as what’s next and early Summerslam predictions, it looks like WWE could be going
in the direction of Roman Reigns versus Jey Uso at Summerslam
The closing moments of their Money In The Bank match appear to perfectly set up that
match
Jey Uso was the one who pinned Roman Reigns and ended that long streak
And everyone agrees that Jey was the right man for that honor
After everything that Roman put Jey through for so many years, Jey got that perfect revenge
of being the first one to successfully pin Roman Reigns in his tribal chief era
And we can only expect Roman Reigns to absolutely lose his mind and go even more crazier than
ever now that he officially lost
And Jey on the other hand has never felt more confident because he was the one who pinned
Roman Reigns
So it does perfectly set up Jey versus Roman for Summerslam
It’s a match that’s three years in the making, Roman wants revenge for the embarrassment
at Money In The Bank, while Jey would be looking to do what he already did, pin Roman Reigns
again, but this time for the undisputed universal title
It just seems like the most sense for Roman’s Summerslam opponent
This entire Bloodline civil war arc truly began the night after Wrestlemania, so this
has been Roman’s main story for the last four months, so it only makes sense for it
to be topped off with that big showdown with Jey Uso
Roman facing anyone else at Summerslam would feel a bit out of place and random, it looks
like this is the big Summerslam main event match
And it truly is worthy of the Summerslam main event spot
Roman and Jey’s last two meetings took place in 2020, where there was nobody in attendance,
so this would be such a special moment to revisit this matchup but with a full crowd
in attendance for Summerslam
And with the title on the line, Roman should successfully retain against Jey, but the interesting
thing to wonder about is how exactly will Roman retain it
Does he beat Jey Uso straight up, or will there be more twist and turns involving Jimmy
Uso and Solo Sikoa?
Either way, it looks like the next four weeks of Smackdown will be used to build up to Roman
versus Jey
