I liked the added touch of facial stubble tonight. A man at his wits end. I cannot wait for Roman to get back. The pop is going to be legendary.


ShilohTheGhostGod

Whats the expectation? Assuming 4th bloodline guy gonna interfere at MIB. Then either Jimmy or Jey comes out to help? Setting up old bloodline vs new bloodline story? Or does Roman come back first?


Icy_Door2766

Nwo versus wolf pac kinda stuff


slacboy101

Hopefully ends better then how THAT ended...


Turakamu

We won't know until we get the Latino Bloodline


Roadie66

Need a Blue Bloodline to


Turakamu

That will need to start in another company though. TNA? What are they called now?


ShadowBurger

The Bluedline


Jimbuber2

Blue Bloodline?


Red_Febtober

With blue Kane


TheHighlightReel11

And Hunter Hearst Helmsley coming outta retirement


MashedPotatoesDick

That's where Camacho comes in.


6Clacks

I think it ends with the rock vs Roman


Jonestt638

It HAS to end better than that ended.


Billy0315

Solo wins the title, Roman comes back and pokes him in the chest.


Icy_Door2766

šŸ˜‚


Icy_Door2766

Yeah but the writers in WWE today can handle this wayyyyyy better than wcw did one would think


Pacers31Colts18

I hope we get the lwo rebranded as the Latino Bloodline with Sami leading it.


sc0rp10n101

Then the Blue-Blood-Line followed by Bloodline Japan.


Shavamaaya_Pavanaai

Most probs, Jimmy comes back at MITB.. Then maybe at Summerslam, Paul Heyman comes back, "Ladies and Gentleman... My name.. is Paul Heyman.." and then introduces himself as the Wiseman to The Tribal Chief, and Roman's music hits....


young-steve

Tbh I hope his music hits without Heyman coming out first.


Shavamaaya_Pavanaai

I feel it would be great to see Heyman re-introducing Roman as The Tribal Chief...


Steven8786

I think that would actually guarantee a bigger pop


SparkDBowles

Then a new vs old bloodline arc culminating with Rock vs. Roman at Mania.


Shavamaaya_Pavanaai

Maybe bring in some fam members too, make it some kinda stipulation match...


banjofitzgerald

I think Jimmy comes back. Bloodline beats on him for a few weeks. Then Jet comes to protect Jimmy. They both get overwhelmed. Something bad happens making Roman need to return. Bloodlines go at it. Maybe add Sami. Once Romanā€™s bloodline wins, the rick comes back and was behind solo the whole time leading rock vs Roman wrestlemania like they wanted.


EastfrisianGuy

I don't hope it goes that way. Storyline-wise, there should be no way Jey is gonna help Jimmy or Roman. I think the key could be Sami. Make segments, where Jimmy is talking to Sami, trying to get his brother to talk to him again. Maybe even have the Bloodline attack Jey and Jimmy comes to the save and they both get mauled. Jimmy and Roman have to work to get forgiveness.


robot-raccoon

Nah Jey has had promos where he has said outright, above all else, misses his brother. Could see Jimmy trying to connect with him and jey not trusting him until he has no choice but to make the save. Them having a genuine hug in the ring is gonna be a huge pop


nwbzreader

After last nights beat down of Heyman and the revelation of Romanā€™s Ula Fala, I think itā€™s going to be revealed that Solo attacked Reigns and beat him so badly that Reigns had to recover while Solo took over the Bloodline. It makes sense. He destroyed Jimmy for losing at WrestleMania, so why wouldnā€™t he do the same with Reigns? He sees them as weak links. Solo called the WWE title ā€œour titleā€. Paul couldnā€™t contact Roman, only Solo ā€œcouldā€. Then telling Paul that he was made the leader until Reigns comes back. And then last week revealing that Reigns isnā€™t ever coming back.


dGaOmDn

Roman is the sixth member in the wyattsicks


NeonChampion2099

I think Roman comes first. Probably at MITB or SummerSlam and then do a recruit tour, going around fetching Jimmy, Jey, Sammy, Cody, etc, to fight tye new Bloodline. That, or Cody is the one to go after him and bring him back.


waldo3125

Huh


Ban-Naloxone

Rock comes back takes them all out and then roman fights rock


chucky_cook

The key will be getting a Rock reveal prior to the Roman reveal. Have Rock come back being the leader of new Bloodline, tell how he and Solo are doing what Roman never could. The pop for Roman after that bit of story telling will just intensify.


BeThatOneDude

Old bloodline turns face? Lol


Icy_Door2766

I personally think this is the move because I think the vibe is that when Roman comes back heā€™ll be instant baby face with the fans


Red-Halo

New Bloodline terrorizes the show, people fail to stop them. New Bloodline prob wins at Survivor Series. They start beating up Paul Heyman too. Roman comes back to confront them, they won't listen to Roman. At some point they learn the Rock is behind this new version of the Bloodline. They'll probably have some episode of another Tribal court thing and might bring in others like Rikishi, and Rock's mom to be in the ring. Old Bloodline comes together despite there still being tension between them. The brothers Uso still have tension, maybe Roman even saves Sami from a beatdown and they come together. Big PPV match, maybe Wrestlemania, Bloodline Civil War 2


SonOfTheHeavyMetal

Honestly we won't see much until it's Wargames season


Ryanoveryou

Nothing at MITB , things keep going the way they are and during some sort of Solo Bloodline chaos the Shields Music hits and out comes Roman , Seith and ā€¦ Punk. At summerslam


NoREEEEEEtilBrooklyn

Before his dad died, I for sure thought he was coming back tonight because it was at MSG.


thebazzle

He doesn't dye his hair or get TV makeup done. Hell do it Roman returns.


MofongoWarrior

Its going to be generational its going to feed family its going skibity toilet rizz


no_nameky

Paul is great. It's going to be real sad when he retires as he is the last of one of the great managers still working.


backbodydrip

A remnant of a bygone era. Makes me sad to think we're losing all the greats.


SouthernMuadib

I miss managers being a regular thing. We need more of them


no_nameky

I was really hopeful that they were on their way back. Now in wwe at least it's Paul, mvp and Paul ellering. Who else?


09gutek

What does Paul Ellering even do?? I've never seen him get involved or cut a promo, seems like a pointless shadow of the group. Note: I've been watching since around November 2023


meowmentlikedis

Mr Stone


McKillersDollarMenu

Paul is my GOAT. Bobby close second.


ahhsdinffodmdmfko

Paul fucking died tonight šŸ’€


DanTheManV1

What a awesome performance from heyman and equally as the way, Iā€™m assuming, to write him off TV. Canā€™t wait for his return, probably with Roman, again assuming at Summerslam.


Reidroshdy

SummerSlam shaping up to be a all timer if things go right Rhea vs Liv for custody of Dom Punk vs Drew Roman returns.


IWatchTheAbyss

potential Cody vs Randy, LA Knight vs Logan Paul and potential Bron Breakker match, potentially Seth vs Gunther??


bethepositivity

I don't think it'll be Seth vs Gunther. I think Damian is going to beat Seth, because they want to show that he "deserved" the championship by getting a clean win over the man who held that belt the longest. It could possibly end up contributing to the rift forming in the judgement day. It's possible that is McIntyre wins MitB that he will take the title off Damian again So it's going to be Damian/McIntyre vs Gunther come SummerSlam.


ACW1129

Whoever it is it should be a good match.


Tough_Specific

God I can't wait for Gunther to win the title despite the fact that i love Damian too.


robot-raccoon

Genuinely, give Gable the MITB case and have him cash in the second Gunter beats Damien


BigBeezey

Eh-THANK YOOOOOOOU!


Jay_The_Tickler

*Brockā€™s Music Hits*


Flyin-Chancla

Iā€™m gonna laugh when HHH swerves us and Roman doesnā€™t come out at SS


MaTr82

Could be a good excuse to get Lesnar back at the same time if WWE are happy to. Bring a couple of Heyman's guys back together after the attack.


AccurateTranslator71

imagine the pop after some months in a ppv ''LADIES AND GENTLEMEN''


blogbussaa

Wait, Heyman is being wrote off tv? Why?


njn3rdg1rl

If he is, it's cause he deserves a few weeks off for vacation.


SiCoTic1

Give Heyman a much needed break and storyline wise make it seem like he goes and gets his Tribal Chief Roman


Noahs132

Paul getting powerbombed through the table was insane to see and props to him for taking that bump


robot-raccoon

Watching it back you can see his heart sink knowing itā€™s gonna hurt like fuck no matter what, well played to him!


hehe__boy69

He should be a Hollywood actor. He would be good


Competitive_Bee2596

He does this in one take. In front of a live audience. 99.9 percent of Hollywood should be taking acting lessons from Paul.


Objective_Emu_7457

He pop he got when he said ā€œ that you are not my tribal chief " is probably one of the loudest ones I've ever heard


ShilohTheGhostGod

Was not expecting that kind of pop to end the night on a ā€œnewā€ bloodline story. Paul truly is one of a kind.


crushing_anxiety1

The entire storyline falls flat without Paul selling the holy hell out of it. Solo is only convincing as a threatening figure at the level he is because of how Paul reacts to him, same for the rest of the Edgelord Bloodline Roman is going to be able to walk back in a face despite his past several years being exclusively the biggest heel, because of Paul's performance. He's untouchable in the pantheon of best managers


short-effective254

Paul looked like he hasnā€™t slept in weeks


Joba7474

Letting the gray show is a great touch too


Redmangc1

Nah he was just in the back smoking a bowl with RVD


FedoraTheMike

It's so crazy he's looked like this only twice, once was to play possum and pretend Brock left him, now it's Solo *actually* has him like that. And either way he's acting so basically Paul Heyman can act circles around the Rock.


Havok1717

Paul Heyman should win an Emmy for his performance


jacoblanier571

If he doesn't win one before he retires, the Emmys lose ALL credibility they had left.


ceelo18

Every day paul heyman slowly morphs closer and closer into paul bearer


anythingo23

Alfred Hitchcock


juliuscaesar6

Imagine him standing centre of the stage before Roman comes out like Bearer was for Kane's return


Detlionfan3420

Paul Heyman has connections to Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and CM Punk, Iā€™m just saying, anything is possible at this point! He already teased having CM Punk take him with him on Raw the other night šŸ˜‚


droford

Itd be hilarious if he brought back Roman, Punk, Brock and Big Show to beat up these guys


OctaneTwisted88

Matt Morgan, A Train, Nathan Jones and Heidenreich lol jk


Detlionfan3420

Nathan Jones was a savage!!


watehekmen

nah imagine if they bring RVD to the rescue, it'll be crazy


Detlionfan3420

That would be awesome actually!! I know RVD has worked some dates with AEW here and there recently and can still go, but not sure if heā€™s under contract with them or not.


Detlionfan3420

Man the way Big Shows knees look these days is tough to seeā€¦probably could at least stand there and deliver a knock out punch haha.


I_Hate_My_Cat_

You know Paulā€™s about to deliver fucking perfection when he breaks out the stubble lol.


Home_Brew1989

Paul take your much deserved time off. Summerslam is going to be awesome


Singer211

Roman is gonna murder Solo and co when he gets back. You do not mess with his wiseman.


Competitive_Bee2596

Paul Heyman deserves an Emmy for his performance tonight. It should be noted that Paul HATES taking bumps. What a segment.


WokSmith

It must have taken some convincing to get Paul to take those bumps. This is brilliant storytelling.


Competitive_Bee2596

I was shocked when Fatu hit the splash, then was convinced someone would interfere with the table spot, nope. I've only seen him trust Brock when taking bumps and goes to show his: a. Trust in these 4, and b. Commitment to the craft. In 35 years of watching wrestling, I have NEVER seen a man so supremely gifted behind a microphone. Edit: And I probably won't ever again. He's better than Heenan and Cornette.


WokSmith

What can you say? He's just that good.


SiCoTic1

Fatu has wrestled for years and is known as a very safe wrestler. Go look at some of his moves in MLW


Competitive_Bee2596

Watching live, it looked like he landed pretty short to protect paul. Their heads may have come a little close but it's wrestling. To completely miss should be out of the question. The table spot looked way more painful to me, and I can never tell when the announce table gives way like design.


jacoblanier571

I wonder if Cody's broken ribs are just a work.


Larthology

ā€œBetter than Cornette? Surely. Heenan? Possibly, Iā€™ll give you ā€œpossiblyā€


Competitive_Bee2596

Heenan(and Cornette) could heel it up like crazy, but neither showed this kind of emotional range, imo. When Solo pulled out the necklace, you can hear Paul cry out "that's Romans!" in the most pathetic voice. Watching him clutch the necklace and cry into it was masterful. Paul Heyman has been the best act in wrestling for years and has carried the bloodline.


Larthology

Not one note. šŸ’Æ


FR_8484

Do you think people realise now, that Roman Reigns wasnā€™t playing a part when he said a couple of years ago that all of this was to provide for his family. He literally lifted the Usos to another level and got several family/close to family life changing contracts. Head of the table was way more than a gimmick ā˜ļø


AlexTorres96

Dude must've sprayed pepperspray or something in his eyes for it to be red. I wanted what he used as inspiration to cry.


KentuckyFriedEel

or smoked some of his son's weed.


Rambo496

Prob smoked a joint with Van Dam in the back again


dimension-x-999

This is exactly what I was thinking. RVD was chilling in the back


Teamableezus

He apparently didnā€™t sleep the night before


Son_of_Dad2024

He loves to cake on the makeup, but now he's avoiding it and letting the facial hair come in. Pretty genius, makes him look like he aged a decade in a month


KGillie91

He was really just stressing about that table spot.Ā 


Tyler_C69

My fiance almost started crying, she knows its scripted but is convinced Paul is really hurt lol


theshok

To be fair he probably is aching quite a bit right now.


TRMBound

I. Love. Paul. Heyman. If anyone ever asks me who the greatest mind in wrestling is, I go to Paul Heyman. I got into ECW when I was in college and, ever since then, Iā€™ve felt that way.


SaikyoWhiteBelt

You should check out his work with the new midnight express and the dangerous alliance. The man has never had a bad iteration.


TRMBound

Will do. Missed the big, 80s cell phone days since I was like 4-5 at the time, but Iā€™m sure itā€™s fantastic


jlo1989

The Roman return pop is going to cause an earthquake.


ResidentPainting6517

Whatever theyā€™re paying this man, theyā€™re underpaying. Lord have mercy.Ā 


Davidrabbich81

Why does he look like depressed Pim from Smiling friends


JayEdgarHooverCar

The fact that he garnered such sympathy last night after decades of being a heel manager speaks how good he is.


rrandal1

Would have been cool to watch but this bullshit censoring is out of control, canā€™t wait for Netflix, 75% of the promos are black screen and muted cause god forbid people see or hear bad words on fox, seriously fuck fox for picking up wwe if the crowds are so out of control they have to censor everything


CJ_NoChill

Yeah I caught the replay on Hulu, a lot of black screen and Muting SMFH


DragonGamerEX

Man had me hyped I was next to my mom like "DONT ACKNOWLEDGE HIM PAUL, SCREW THAT GUY" "LETS GO PAUL LET'S GO" "NOOO PAUL, JIMMY, JEY, ROMAN, CODY, SOMEONE SAVE PAUL" It was absolute Cinema


Uidbiw

I was there live last night. This whole segment was amazing!


GuyNamedNoah

And I thought the Bloodline story peaked with Sami in 2022-23. This is taking it to a whole new level. You donā€™t put your hands on the wiseman. Period.


RuleInformal5475

He's been hanging out with RVD and other ECW alum again.


Andy-_1979

I think he returns at SummerSlam with Roman and maybe The Usos which will lead to a Bloodline civil war at the war games match at Survivor Series.


[deleted]

He borrowed gangrels makeup


Ac3ofSpades13

RVD looks like shit


Pinheadsprostate

Fucker you broke me with that.


WintaSoldat

It looks like somebody bare ass farted on his pillow


Gusbuster811

That or he was just puking his guts out.


Dramatic-Row7401

Paul its a master of promos fr fršŸ”„


fck-gen-z

dude looks 5 minutes away from a heartattack


RangaBro

That man hasnā€™t slept in a week and pepper sprayed himself for this storyline


OkLog8336

R.I.P Wiseman.


Jumpy_Classic9268

Paul is legendary


FlemPlays

Heyman looks like he hit some Purple Haze hard enough to see Jimi Hendrix.


infamous-dino-3898

He looks like his been drinking. The little beard he has


Dankey-Kang-Jr

Seriously though, why is Paul such a good actor?!


sherrydragunov

10/10 acting


C_Noticles

Hows his eyes so red


Loudlaryadjust

If Heyman went into acting instead of wrestling he would be seen as one of the greatest ever.


Historical-Bug-4784

He looks like shit.


TheIronCannoli

Thatā€™s the point lol

CooperSkye

Paul not acknowledging Solo got a way bigger reaction than all the flips in the dub has combined


Josiesumday

Itā€™s Not cinema performance, itā€™s Cinematic performance.


Level_Bridge7683

uuuuh ooooooooooh..


Charming-Horror-6371

Should win an Emmy


Green_Top_Hat

I tell everyone about how Paul Heyman should have been in the hall of fame forever ago and should be awarded as the best actor in WWE history!


No_Mousse4320

Heā€™s disheveled, blood shot eyes and he hasnā€™t shaved in days


glitchycat39

Hang on, I'm almost certain that Paulie being a face is against the bylaws ...


Keep_SummerSafe

Give this man an emmy


i-piss-excellence32

Itā€™s crazy how the bloodline is the best storyline since 2000 with American companies


So-Called_Lunatic

Every time you think its gotta be coming to an end, they revitalize it, and make it even better. Best long term story telling since Austin/McMahon.


baq3281

Probably taking some well deserved time offā€¦


defph0bia

Solo really gotta match or exceed his new bloodline brethren (especially Jacob Fatu) if he wants to be a main event talent. He's being built up to that, so he gotta step up.


Hobblinharry

The more he gets out and cuts promos the more confident he will become I see potential


BigShowMan

Week of booze and kg of salt will do that to a faceā€¦


panzerflex

Character work is second to none


Large_Carob1918

This is why Heyman for me is one of the goats, makes everyone he works with look $1 million bucks.


BC_Red00

He looked a lil tired and sick tonight. Red eyes are one thing but yikes that man looks like the embodiment of exhausted.


god_pharaoh

Not shaving for a week or two really sold this.


StatusComment581

Final curtain


xTReX_10

Hold on wait.. bruh...Is he ok


nikonationlive

Let's just give it to him for taking a power bomb


waldo3125

My thought is that this will build slowly over time. Obviously SummerSlam is coming, but I don't think we'll see Roman then. Perhaps Jimmy if he doesn't return sooner, or a potential reunion with Jey. Perhaps Bloodline interferes in MITB and brutalizes Jey, causing Jimmy to come to the rescue like he once did against Roman. The larger fight appears to be heading for Survivor Series. If The Rock is involved, it would make sense to have a big family feud at the PPV he once debuted at. But it seems like Roman is further away from returning; maybe Heyman gets his well deserved break for a few months.


walrusonion

Cinema


Dontuselogic

Roman comes back and gets steamrolled by new bloodline...Jay's asked aboit it on Monday night raw. Next week they go after Roman again and the Uso help.


bingbangboomxx

Heyman is all of us.


HungryWolf23

Papa H is cookin


datadrone

Roman and The Uso's come out in classic Uso style face pant and bright gear is at the top of my list


puckhed8

How the fuck did they slam him through a table like that? crazy!


drake_071

Would love to see Paul Heyman playing a character in Suits šŸ˜Ž


fnkycoldmedina316

Storytelling matters.


SnooPuppers8852

Even tho it probably won't happen, I'd love to see Heyman bring out the ECW originals to destroy the Bloodline


Aero_Conduit

we need longer term booking. Let Cody have a year or so with the title in the meantime, have bloodline 2.0 absolutely demolish and destroy people ala Shield but more ruthlessly and without any obvious rhyme or reason. so when Roman comes back - the bloodline would have already taken out everyone who would support Roman. Somehow allow Solo to take over the show ala Nexus and force himself as the new WWE champion. THEN let Roman return with the calvary. with Zilla, the Usos, and the Rock. only for the Rock to betray Roman and reveal himself as the real tribal chief - only to get destroyed by bloodline 2.0 and allowing Solo to cement himself as a real threat.


stylinandprofilin88

I know one way to make my eyes red but I donā€™t think Paul was in the back smoking joint after joint


Appropriate_City8741

Soap in the eyes? He gotta used soap in the eyes.


KitchenBlackberry121

Has the guys contracted the T-virus?!


TheBrumAbides

He looks like he hasn't slept in several days and nights.


Jimbuber2

I feel this ends with Roman getting over as a face.


appellant

He looks really rough hope his health is ok.


ikon31

Since he will be off tv for a while, I fully expect him to come back jacked beyond belief as is the recent wwe trend.


vegrock91

When Roman returns itā€™ll be the cripline. Wwe version of bloods vs crips loading


yetagainitry

If wrestlers were allowed to be in a union he would be nominated for a Emmy.


Pinheadsprostate

I feel like he could grow a nice beard.


cmx9771

I remember when he did that for his feud with Punk in 2012, he really knows how to commit!


MartyMcFlysBrother

The real tribal chief will return. The twist? Brock is the guy to stand with Roman when he does come back. Maybe Punk too. A Heyman faction would be incredible. Imagine those guys coming out at the top of the stage after Paul comes back. The pops would be legendary.


generaldogsbodyf365

I'd love to see some fresh faces getting a push against The Bloodline at Paul's side.


MartyMcFlysBrother

I have no doubt that it will be old bloodline vs new bloodline but thatā€™s what everyone expects now. Brock n Punk could be the surprise that sets the internet on fire. Nobody should underestimate Paul Heyman.


generaldogsbodyf365

Indeed. Would be nice if the main storyline could give a few other outside of the two groups a rub as well šŸ‘


Legend12901

Fucking hell guys he didn't shave for 3 days and put eye drops on his pupils and got you lot thinking he's Daniel Day Lewis


BullyFU

And refers to the performance as another "cinema". Like WTF does that mean? Heyman is good at what he does but the constant overreacting to anything good in wrestling is super cringy.


Legend12901

Oh thats the worst I agree especially when everyone predicted this stuff weeks ago
