[braindead-virtually-tv]

Alright here's a question I've been pondering

Would you like to see WWE go back to brand exclusive PPVs and only have the brand's mix at the big four (Rumble, WrestleMania, Summer slam & Survivor Series)

Why or why not?

It's sad that Jey is on a different wave length. Like he knows something bad is going to happen. He knows something weird is going on. Something isn't right. While Jimmy looks disappointed but thats it. The end of Smackdown was very telling when you compare both their faces. I don't know if they are trying to prove their useful/themselves and that's why thry came out but it was an interesting contrast that Jey called out Solo and then the Usos came out for his even though Jimmy just had a match. Or that thry both came out with him right after they beat Alpha Academy. Nobody was out there during WM with them. THEY were fighting champions. They had more matches then anyone on the roster last year (so I was a little annoyed when Cory made a comment about Kevin/Sami being fighting championship when they were drafted but we know Corey thinks highly of the Usos IRL so I was quick to get over it lol). Hopefully Smackdown doesn't let us down

no, do you know what's crazy, i've just been watching some older stuff from early '22 and it's insane how angry roman looks when jimmy brings up that they're the longest reigning smackdown champions for a reason and that they can succeed without him and that he isn't the reason they're who they are (and angry because jimmy was more annoyed that rkbro disrespected the usos as a standalone) and it literally only just hit me that he helps them become undisputed tag team champs so he has it over them that they wouldn't be At This Level without him 😭😭😭 god i'm an idiot dhklkdhjlkj

but yeah idk i think they're definitely trying to prove themselves. i think that's why they keep going so hard on the "we're so loyal to the bloodline, guys, we LOVE roman, he's like, our favourite person ever, forget the lord and saviour, what about roman?" and it's like... obvious? now? that that's what they're doing? because they (jey especially) know they're pretty much running out of time and, on some level, they'll know roman's done with them. as soon as he started screening their calls and talking to them through paul and paul only, they probably had an idea. jey should, at least, because roman used to ignore his calls too back in 2020. he's been here before. 💀

i haven't got much hope for smackdown just because it's the smackdown before a ppv and they're usually non-shows but then backlash is also a non-show so who knows what's gonna happen lmao

SEXYY RED FACES BACKLASH FOR SAYING SHE 'LOVES' DONALD TRUMP & WANTS HIM...

@iamaffscandallover I really don't know who these young black ignorant people r who continue to think making these stupid comments so they can keep their name n the spot light. If she loves Donald J Trump fine. But thing has she even done any research on him r his policies no. I hate this type of ignorance. Has she done any research on his policies toward wm especially black women. R seen how he publicly treats black wm. Probably not. Her his stance Abt wm choice and their bodies. Pretty sure she would disagree on that. But to each its own. Ignorance must be bliss. No the good doesn't like Donald J Trump. These black people get a little bit of money name recognition and they lose their minds

Fantasy Booking The Fall of the Bloodline, Part I -- WrestleMania 39 to SummerSlam 2023

Intro

I don’t think I have to go into detail about WWE’s WrestleMania 39 and how it represented both the best and worst of the company. We got fantastic matches like the IC Title Triple Threat, Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair, and the Undisputed Tag Team Championship match. And of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the gut punch that ended the entire event with Roman Reigns retaining his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship over Cody Rhodes in typical and dull fashion (i.e. Solo Sikoa interference). 

A complete misfire that kneecapped the momentum one of the hottest babyfaces they’ve had for the sake of an arbitrary record (Roman reaching 1,000 days as champion). It’s something that’s inspired this piece I’ve written.

Of course, for this booking to work, we’d have to ignore things like Endeavour buying WWE and Vince McMahon rearing his ugly head once again. This booking just sidesteps that altogether.

Part 0: WrestleMania

Our story starts at night two of WrestleMania 39 -- specifically the Cody vs. Roman main event. It largely goes the same as it did in real life, however... the crucial change I’d make is that the Usos/Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens run-ins happen much later in the match. Solo Sikoa gets involved, yes, and he hits Cody with the spike. However, Cody kicks out of the Spear that Roman hits him with. Do it with a super-close near fall that everyone bites on. After this is where we get the Usos/Sami & KO spot, mainly because I just love the image of Sami and KO hitting Roman with their finishers before Cody tees off on “The Tribal Chief” with Dusty’s bionic elbows and then Cross Rhodes to finally Finish The Story™.

Honestly? The big bad heel finally being vanquished by those who he wronged is just a heck of a way to give them a comeuppance worth enjoying. WrestleMania is the place where the good guy should come out on top in the end, and it’s a lesson that I feel WWE has forgotten in recent years.

Now with that WM main event out of the way, let’s get to the meat of the story I want to tell:

Part I: The Tribal Chief Demands It

- Night after Raw: new champ Cody does not get attacked by Brock Lesnar. We’ll move that feud to Money in the Bank in London. Instead, Cody issues an open challenge for the championship, which is answered by Austin Theory. Cody retains. Sami & KO fight Alpha Academy.

- Back with the Bloodline. Roman disappears from WWE programming for a bit. Partially to advance the story, and partially to let the real guy get a much-needed break. However, this doesn’t mean he’s just gone. Instead, we have Paul Heyman acting as Roman’s proxy, issuing orders to the Usos and Solo. One of these orders leads to a huge six-man “Winner Take All” tag team match at Backlash. Cody and Sami/KO putting up their respective titles (Undisputed WWE World Title & Undisputed Tag Team Titles) versus the Usos... and Solo Sikoa. The Tribal Chief has demanded that Solo take his place in the six-man tag match and win back the UWU on his behalf.

- At Backlash, the good guys retain their titles after Jey Uso is pinned by Cody with a Cross Rhodes. The fact that the Bloodline failed to regain the titles is enough to piss Roman off to a point that he appears on the Smackdown after Backlash (May 12th) to hold what’s billed as a “Bloodline Summit”.

- At this Summit, Roman goes full blast on the Usos and Solo, questioning their commitment to the “family”. Specifically, he takes out most of his frustrations on Jey Uso, repeatedly calling him too “weak” to be loyal to the Bloodline. Before Jey can make his case... WHAM! Superman Punch from Reigns. At this point, Roman just batters Jey while Jimmy and Solo are basically just ordered to watch. “This is what happens when you fail your Tribal Chief!” Roman shouts at Jimmy and Solo. Smackdown goes off the air with Roman just walking off as Jey is tended to by Jimmy and Solo.

Part II: A Summer of Discontent

- We’re now on the build to Money in the Bank as the Usos and Solo are given their marching orders: the Usos have a rematch with Sami & KO for the tag titles, their last chance at it; Solo qualifies for MITB and is tasked to win the ladder match on the Bloodline’s behalf. There’s one catch, though... Roman wants Solo to surrender the briefcase to him if he wins.

- This is the point where we’re starting to see signs of clear frustration from the Bloodline members. The Usos discuss amongst themselves that they might just not give a shit anymore because of how much of an abusive asshole Roman is. There’s that gaslighting finally being slowly broken. Meanwhile, Solo is feeling the pressure himself, Cody’s warning that “he’s not ready” still ringing in his mind.

- Money in the Bank: the shit completely hits the fan for the Bloodline. Sami & KO once again defeat the Usos to retain their tag titles and Solo fails to win the MITB ladder match (which is won by... we’ll just say LA Knight). Oh, and Cody defeats Brock Lesnar in the UWU title match, because of course.

- Post-MITB, Roman returns yet again, with this being his Thanos “fine, I’ll do it myself” moment. He’s invoking his rematch clause to officially challenge Cody Rhodes to regain his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at SummerSlam. In the meantime, though, Roman has had enough of the Bloodline repeatedly losing big matches and essentially “benches” them for the entire month of July.

- Meanwhile, Roman decides to “better his chances” so to speak by ramping up the viciousness in attacking Cody, hoping to injure him before August 5th. You could have a moment where after a particularly tough match for Cody, Roman attacks and just destroys him, hitting Cody with repeated Spears. I know, overly long heel beatdowns are a contention point for some, but I promise you this’ll be the last big one. 

- SummerSlam: Before the match, Roman decides he finally has a use for Solo and the Usos, ordering them to be at ringside during the match versus Cody and acting only when he says so. The trio are clearly angered by this but just go along, without a choice in the matter. Our main event finally happens and it’s the standard back and forth Roman Reigns/Cody Rhodes match. But, when it comes time for the Bloodline to intervene, they do not help. First Solo walks off, and then the Usos, leaving only Roman alone. From there, we get your usual array of near falls, but it’s Cody who wins yet again, solidifying himself as The Guy right now.

Part III: Crumbling Down

- On the post-SummerSlam Smackdown: Roman is super-pissed at his family for abandoning them and banishes them. It’s here where the ticking time bomb that’s been endlessly ticking since April finally detonates. Solo and the Usos proceed to beat the everloving crap out of Roman, hitting him with the Samoan Spike, a barrage of superkicks, and then the 1D. The Bloodline, as we know it, is officially dead now.

- But... that’s not the end of the story. As a bit of a coda to this, Roman decides that he can’t trust his own flesh and blood any longer, so he brings in the team formerly known as Guerillas of Destiny, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa. He’s made them his own mercenary squad and he sets them against the Usos. You could even have GoD feud with Sami and KO for the tag titles too. As for what happens after this... we’ll get into that next time, when we cover what happens with this feud from September to WrestleMania 40.

[simplecomplexity168]

Just saying, but after seemingly no Damian at WrestleMania 38 and then he shows up looking like a hot goth snack daddy on a leather stick and makes a statement with Edge, this 'Damian barred from ringside at WM Backlash" thingy better mean something else is brewing in the dark.

I mean,.. right?
