The Narrative: It's Roman's fault the Bloodline is breaking up.
The Truth:
It's Sami's fault. Sami came to the Bloodline to regain his credibility.
And at the peak of popularity because he was part of the Bloodline he turned on Roman by hitting him with a chair and betrayed Jey after Jey defended him at the The Tribal Trial.
Yet he claims he still "cares" about The Usos after taking their titles and ending their record breaking reign. 🙄
In this story the narrative is that Sami has to be the good guy when he's not. He caused the cracks in the Bloodline.
Jey said Sami didn't belong in the Bloodline because he's not blood.
But the narrative is that Roman has to the bad guy because he's the one with all the power and people especially those who related to Sami (the underdog) love to see the most powerful fall.
What is Roman's fault is insisting that Sami be part of the Bloodline.
This is fantastic storytelling. Best in the WWE in years and no story is gonna match it.
My opinions about this storyline are unpopular but that's fine...
