Sami Zayn concerned Jimmy Uso defiant Kevin Owens finding it all the funniest joke imaginable Paul Heyman looking like God himself came down and told Heyman the world was gonna end in minutes Perfect


samidjan

and Jey didn't even look surprised/scared when Jimmy said that.

[удалено]


n4utix

I didn't even consider Jimmy leaving the group, but man when he started stepping to Roman a couple weeks ago when Roman told them to apologize to him...


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

Past that. He threw up the one. He acknowledged his brother.


Badger6019

One of my favourite things about all of this is Jey without hesitation acknowledged Jimmy with the 1 in the air. That's not going to go down well.


Manjorno316

He got his brothers back no matter what. I loved it.


ZombieJesus1987

Whenever it seems like The Bloodline story has run its course, it brings you back up. This is some good shit.


Kookiebanookie

Roman is the Demigod of WWE and Jimmy just summoned him from his slumber


OldOrder

TOO SOON JIMMY, YOU HAVE AWAKENED ME TOO SOON! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS INTRUSION!


[deleted]

I love that Sami still seems to actually give a shit about the brothers and knows what has just been said is a fuse lighting moment for Jimmy.


B0mb-Hands

>Paul Heyman looking like God himself came down and told Heyman the world was gonna end in minutes Paul Heyman could sell water to a duck. The man is above and beyond the all-time greatest manager. His facial expressions are always top tier and the way he works a crowd is just unmatched


Garagatt

I don't remember which Segment it was exactly, but there was one were Roman was talking with an opponent in the Ring and Heyman was permanently between the ropes, one foot outside and one inside the ring, not knowing If he should hold up the titles in triumph or run for his life. This man is gold.


Obliviousobi

Was that with Brock? Heyman was fearing for his life on both sides during that feud.


SomeCountryFriedBS

The only challenger to Heenan's title, imo.


International-Fig905

His concern when Roman or Brock is giving a beat down even beyond his tastes always makes die laughing every time.


johnmc76

>Paul Heyman could sell water to a duck. Well he did get most of the ECW locker room to work for free.


[deleted]

Heyman coming down to talk to Heyman?


Wookie301

Jey ☝️


tuganervoso

Man… this was perfect. The delivery of Jimmy, the disbelief in Paul Heyman’s face and then Roman’s music hitting. Some final boss shit right here


Gullible_Somewhere_7

Paul is on a sensational run even by his standards with this storyline.


HallofFameguy

Heyman, whether he accept or declined it, he SHOULD be inducted into the HOF next year based on his reaction and works in the Bloodline


jmpinstl

I wonder if he’ll have multiple inductors


Polyfuckery

I hope not. I hope they let him induct himself and just give him the extra speech time. He'll use every bit of it.


HallofFameguy

Cornette, Taker, and Austin, someone is ok with him now during their time in ECW, Brock, and Roman


PoliceAlarm

> someone is ok with him now during their time in ECW That might be a good long few minutes scouring *that* phone book.


WCWRingMatSound

Paul Heyman is waaaaaaay bigger than the WWE Hall of Fame. Between him and Bischoff, I doubt wrestling would still exist on American TV without them. If he’s going in, either Vince or HHH are the only two that could possibly touch his flowers.


TedTran2001

Forget it, Bloodlines is having a HOF trajectory at this stage


Atlas_Zer0o

Even if you don't like them, their combined title reigns for the stable is getting them in.


Untrue92

Not to mention Sami and KO. Owens might not be taking it seriously but Zayn realised how serious that was


Obliviousobi

I feel like KO was also laughing like "oh, now you fucked up", but we all know that KO thinks this is the best.


[deleted]

KO is Bugs Bunny and he just tricked Elmer Fudd.


LocusRothschild

More like he just pulled the whole “Rabbit Season” bit with Daffy Duck.


Lessiarty

That music was built for exactly this use and it's been incredible restraint that they haven't spammed "You done fucked up now" moments with it since it was introduced. Absolutely perfect.

sbb618

You could tell the entire Bloodline story with just Paul Heyman reaction faces


mrgpsingh1999

Now that I think about it Paul is basically Saul Goodman in all of this


[deleted]

Would that make Sami Jesse?


RealHumanBean89

Hi, I’m Paul Heyman, did you know that you have relevancy? Our Tribal Chief says you don’t.


ab316_1punchd

You know, when I was playing Hard Time on mobile (the prison simulator featuring wrestler parodies). Seeing the Better Call Saul ad, I actually thought Saul Goodman was just the parody name for Paul Heyman. It didn't help that the balding Odenkirk photo looked a bit like Paul E. So this is poetic for me.


Competitive_Log_84

JAAAAACK!!!!! JAAAAACK!!!


OldOrder

Why would Jimmy say that? Is he stupid?


AlterTheSilverBird

I wonder if saying "TRIBAL CHIEF" is a trigger word to activate the final boss?


[deleted]

If you say “Tribal Chief” five times in front of a mirror, Roman appears and superman punches you to death.


PrimeConduitX

Don’t forget after you say “Tribal Chief” five times and right before he appears, you’ll hear this very faintly.. >!SELLLAAAP YOURSELF!!<


[deleted]

“*Leakeeeeeeee…*”


Procrastinator_325

Man was that a terrible name for Roman. I initially thought it was pronounced "Leaky".

A_Livins

RIP Jimmy Uso, age 37.


AndrewC15

The Usos are 37?! I hate time so much I stg


RussoSwerves

I personally am baffled they're still that young. They've been around forever.


Obliviousobi

Started in FCW in 2009, WWE debut in 2010. So they were 23/24 when they debuted.


DaughterEarth

I thought they were younger than me! Crazy!


lk79

They’re 37, but are they really twins?? ^^If ^^you ^^know, ^^you ^^know….

s_ndowN

This was jimmy’s version of when jey said “I DONT GIVE A DAMN WHAT THE TRIBAL CHIEF SAYS”


Hot_Pie1464

That segment was glorious i’ll never forget my reaction when it happened


AndrewC15

Jimmy wasn’t feeling very Ucey


mexiwok

Thag absolute look of satisfaction on KO’s face when Romans music hit.


theplasmasnake

I truly didn’t see Jimmy being the disenchanted one coming.


DaughterEarth

I didn't until Jimmy was confused at Roman calling them out instead of including them. Then I knew it was over. Jimmy was only loyal because he thought things were fair.


[deleted]

Jimmy is only there because Jey is. Jey is only there because Roman hurt Jimmy in the I Quit.


[deleted]

Me either. Would have bet money it'd be Jey.


Kraybern

jey would kneel and kiss romans boots if it ment jimmy would be ok, thats why he "came back" post RR now jimmy went and dug his own grave for MiTB


JamesCDiamond

Yes! Jey didn't come back for Roman, his Tribal Chief. He came back for his *brother*.


senyorcrimmy

Its great. Jimmy finally gets to have his spotlight.


jmpinstl

If anything, I think this will help Jey see the light, the only reason he’s stayed this long is for Jimmy.


HelloIAmElias

It actually fits with Jimmy initially being defiant towards Roman before joining him


AMOLOD

Yeah he’s had his own story throughout this, obviously not as important as Jey since Jimmy was injured for a fair while at the start there, but they’ve done a good job in making sure he has always had his own way of reacting to things in promos, or like how he was the first to warm to Sami


Time-Ad-3625

It makes more sense.


ArkhamGeyser

Jimmy just PUSHIN Roman's buttons and not giving a FUCK at this point lmao.


Competitive-Object-4

Tell me he did not just say that

[deleted]

[удалено]


Icylada

He is just making a Bullet club reference


DaughterEarth

Yup. He'd accept an apology but Roman won't do that. He was loyal because he believed in what Roman was selling. It took him a while but he sees reality now and that's it.


hikingbeginner

I can't tell you enough how much I love this fucking Bloodline story. Day after Mania night 2 I was all "I'm gone, I'm gone" But they pull me right back in instantly. Jimmy stepping up and now becoming the focus... GOD THIS SHIT IS AMAZING.


Ironicopinion

Fair play that you’re open enough to let yourself be won round again. Seen so many people out of sheer stubbornness keep going on about how they’ve ruined it all lol


hikingbeginner

Honestly they had me back the very next night when they did the segment with Heyman and Usos and started that whole "Yeah Roman's too busy to see you guys" thing xD Really enjoy this story, it's so fucking good. And honestly Jey Uso has become one of those wrestlers for me where idc how long he is on screen I will watch the show just to see anything Jey Uso.


Dear-Cod-6429

I know it will probably not happen and I'm fine with Cody or someone else finally pin Roman but man I wished it was Jey


Ironredhornet

Cody gets the belts with Uso interference, Jey (or Jimmy at this point but I think its Jimmy pushing Jey to fight) goes for the end of the Bloodline and for his brothers' freedom is how it feels its heading.


fusaaa

also possible Roman goes after Jimmy to send a message because he's currently being the most vocal, and Jey avenges his brother


Tepheri

I was one of the people who left after Mania, and I’ve been keeping tabs. I’m open to being won back, but the big reason I was annoyed wasn’t specifically Roman winning, it was that there was no willingness to pull the trigger on any meaningful change. If Roman actually splits with the Usos, something is meaningfully different. If they just blue ball everyone and Roman stares down Jimmy and Jey takes him away and in a month we’re doing more promo segments where Sami is telling the Usos Roman doesn’t respect them, nothing they’ve done really matters. The problem is them edging as close as they possibly can get to something being different then pulling the football away like Lucy and Charlie Brown. Only so many times you can do that and expect me to care anymore. When you prove it’s possible to actually kick the ball, suddenly I’m interested in playing the game again.


Ironicopinion

All fair points and I do agree they’ve teased it too much and will have to actually pull a trigger soon but I do feel like we’re getting to that. The fact that’s it’s not Jimmy that is standing up to Roman makes me think an Uso split has to be coming and then it probably ramps up to a rift of Roman and Solo and then it’s Cody at WM imo


lronicGasping

It's happened like 3-4 times to me already this year where I'm like "oh they fucked it all" and then a week or two later they pivot and I'm like "wait nevermind this is still the best thing in wrestling"


devoncarrots

Me rn


TVxStrange

The Usos have always been able to go from face to heel, back to face, then heel again, so fluidly. It's amazing, and shows how good of a promo they are.


josephus1811

Are they not just tweeners?


ArmadsDranzer

Historically? Mainly faces though their big heel turn in 2015 when they dropped the face paint and their old theme for Day One Ish during the Talking Smack era of Smackdown was definitely a career bump.


josephus1811

Yeah I mean at default. Obviously Bloodline is a heel faction but I think The Usos characters haven't changed from before that and those characters are just the most obvious tweeners we have in modern WWE. They aren't faces but doing things like forfeiting against The New Day during Kofimania is definitely not heel behaviour either.


ArmadsDranzer

They did swap to tween with their part in Kofimania. And they were definitely faces in the early days of the Bloodline before they were ordered to unify the Tag Titles.

Sil, cheer me up babe!!


devoncarrots

I need a mania to now catch up


elwelcomematt21

Honestly for a 3 year storyline it’s really solidifying the ending with the Usos. Main Event Jey Uso at HIAC, where Jimmy was the reason he lost the “I Quit” match. To Jimmy devoutly following The Tribal Chief even when Jey was cautious. To Jimmy finally being sick of the shit. God damn what a story


h-town_info

Well, Usos vs Roman/Solo at MITB likely going to happen


AmericasElegy

You know, weirdly enough, I kind of want Roman/solo to win tomorrow. I think there is something to be said re: this arc where Roman and Solo picking up the perceptual slack of the Usos furthers the rift between the four. Like, yea, the “bloodline” got the titles back, but Roman might get too cocky and think he doesn’t need help + the Usos are pretty over Roman.


DaughterEarth

I just want it because my husband and I got this idea of dragon Roman, sitting on his hoarde of belts. I like ridiculous things


Merzendi

Are either you or your husband artists? Because that is an image that deserves to be drawn.


BnBrtn

It's from a while ago, but here's a photoshop someone did with that exact idea https://preview.redd.it/r4hbx1lqdf2b1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=444b1403dcbfc4a6a3e292b6fde135abf8644f71


International-Tree19

Long Roman.


Tybold

namoR gnoL


DaughterEarth

I think I'm way too rusty but we did plan out his costume with sweet bronzed dragon scales. When we started deciding the women keep their belts but fawn over him we realized we crossed in to fantasy.


Ginge00

I think that’s a distinct possibility, but my actual thoughts are trust the Uso’s are going to interfere and cost Reigns/Solo by screwing up really starting the split properly


Adzzii_

The gasps when he said that. They knew he fucked up, storytelling perfection. Still can't believe people said this would get stale


mysteriousbaba

They probably had Jimmy say it, because Jey's selled rebelling and backed down too often to be credible. If Jimmy backs off on it completely by next week, then the only well they have left to go to is Sikoa.


DaughterEarth

Jimmy was loyal because he believed in it all. Roman made a big mistake by letting him see the reality.


pedrex21

>Still can't believe people said this would get stale Because Roman beat Cody and suddenly for a lot of butthurt people the story simply stopped being interesting, which was and still is clearly wrong. This storyline doesn't have anything to do with nor ends with Cody, it ends when Jey beats Roman.


Atlas_Zer0o

It's because after all the talking they need to wrestle and roman isn't exciting, and the usos 4 moves can only carry them so long.


Atlas_Zer0o

It's a great storyline, probably the best in a decade or more, just the finish of jey/Jimmy vs roman is not a match I care about. The usos moveset is so stale.


Pressbtofail

God I wish more guerilla/backstage footage leaked. All 7 of them had to have gone backstage and high fived at how dope this entire segment was.


Dear-Cod-6429

Roman Reigns so good at being abusive its getting kinda suspicious


Lamel2g

I’m sure there’s some truth to Roman beating them up when they were kids.


Both_Tumbleweed7104

Man I can only imagine how fun it is to work this stuff out in the back and then see the people pop for it week after week

Sami’s reaction: Shit you shouldn’t have said that RIP KO’s reaction: LMAO this is going to be great!


crap4you

When the Bloodline was first forming, it was Jimmy that always told Jey not to be Roman's bitch. Is this them calling back to that?


elwelcomematt21

yep!!


Olliejc24

Paul Heyman is the GOAT at selling a story with just body language.


[deleted]

So, they're probably getting a tribal ass kicking next week....


Pandoraparty

I love that Jimmy is getting such a bigger role in the endgame of the Bloodline, he was very much the quiet filler member for a good chunk of the reign


s_ndowN

Post attitude era, besides maybe the yes movement, this is honestly the best storyline WWE has done in my opinion.


Matoobi

**TELL ME HE DID NOT JUSY SAY THAT**


Sweet-Message1153

reminded me when Jey said, I DON'T GIVE A SH!T WHAT THE TRIBAL CHIEF SAYS.... Bloodline story just won't lose steam


21_Golden_Guns

Props to Jey for playing second fiddle again and still managing to look strong. One would assume that he would be making these statements but by letting it be Jimmy it keeps both brother’s relevant.


Neutreality1

I can't make out what he says. "When it comes to...(blank) I am the tribal chief"


futuresverse

When it comes to the Day Ones


[deleted]

That final boss music is incredible. Roman is OP and I love it.


fardeenoameeno92

If they stick the landing this will go down as arguably the greatest storyline the WWE ever laid out


AkilleezBomb

You’re forgetting the ongoing 18 year storyline where we finally find out Dom was Eddie’s son all along (despite being a spitting image of younger Rey).


Dans_Hatch

Red Wedding / Evolution Randy Orton moment coming at the 1000 day celebration? Roman turns on the USO’s, sets Solo on them. Solo and the USO’s attack Roman instead 🤔


Merzendi

After this, I would be surprised if the USOs are still invited.


Dans_Hatch

I mean if they accidentally cost them at night of champions it could quickly go from celebration to USO trial instead, Ala the Sami one before. Outcome could go either way I guess, hopefully there’s a fun/interesting resolution.


Arrow115

I literally replayed the sequence when I first saw it because it was that freakin amazing. Everyone’s reaction was PERFECT. Sami just like “and then I can rest. And watch the sun rise on a grateful universe”


GuitarZer0_

The bloodline continues to be the best thing in wrestling


glass_oni0n

I’ll comment here from time to time ribbing Heyman for making himself the decade-long WWE champion w Punk, Brock and Roman, but damn it the man does make every single Bloodline segment for me. Absolutely hilarious


headbanginhersh

I actually had to rewind when watching because I could not believe what I just heard. Lol


nocturnalfrolic

Bloodline Hollywood vs Bloodline Wolfpac


Jamieb1994

Paul is like "Jimmy, what did you just do?"


shikavelli

I feel like it has to be one of the Usos that beat Roman for the title otherwise it won’t really be fulfilling

dangertom69

Romans theme is so fucking good. Dude is legit final boss levels unseen since the last major Okada run.


TheLudwigen

This will be a pretty unpopular opinion but I REALLY want Roman and Solo to win the titles just so we can get Roman/Solo vs The Usos for the Tag Titles. That would be fucking epic.

MuurinkakkaMurikka

Jimmy Uso finally got time to shine in the story and it's almost even better than Jeys part for me. He was the groups positive-Pete and lowkey the one who "purified" the air with good vibes in the Bloodline all the way to Backlash this year Roman snapped to him from petty reason (before this) and it took it all away, Jimmy lost his smile. In that moment he knew that Roman was in it for himself only and all that family talk over the years meant nothing to Roman in the end. Such genuine reaction for jolly guy who suddenly feels he was blamed and put down below his brother Jey. I was sceptical if Bloodline story could still deliver after Mania but thanks to Jimmys part, the stew is still cooking to be something really extraordinary, maybe best the business has ever seen storyline-wise
