[CBoz]

Are these qualifying matches or are they going to be first round matches?

Feud of the year already and we're in May and they haven't had a single match

 

[BrehWyatt]

I love that today's WWE is making viewers pay attention.

Calling Why the hell would Tama Tonga be in this shyt

Solo should have that spot, and if he does, he should win the whole thing.

Another hint/clue

Rhea wasn't paying him enough attention.

 

[CBoz]

My guess is Asuka's been working with that knee injury she got a while back on SD and Drew that elbow w/e he got that. Keep them out until they are needed, like CatC in Scotland for Drew.

None of them should be in it.


And Gunther taking that shyt. Bout to be his summer all the way to the title.

Hope it actually goes somewhere unlike the other backstage easter eggs HHH has done the past 2 years and then just dropped



Hurt Business specifically

More than fine with Gunther winning. He's one of my favorites.

But I believe having Solo win it actually works to establish the group as a real force to be reckoned with. As it currently goes, people who leave the Bloodline/Roman's influence (Jey, Sami) actually elevate. Bloodline v2 solely became about ensuring Roman stayed champion, as evidenced by Jimmy/Solo consistently losing.

And then Roman pulling out of the draft literally tanked the group's value. I think it would be good to suggest that MAYBE the Bloodline would be better off without Roman (while it isn't true, casting that doubt raises intrigue for what the story seems to be).

It’s better to do that by just having them fukk everybody up like The Shield/Wyatts than to be wrestling in tournaments. They shouldn’t give a fucck about that outside of fuccking up Orton in his match.

I like the idea of this iteration of the Bloodline being significantly more dangerous in gang warfare/unorganized combat, but you can't have the group acknowledge that losing has consequences only for them to not win anything of note. Even the Shield scooped up championships.

The Wyatts were a special case as Bray's character didn't need a championship to remain a threat, but they still won titles.

One of the Bloodline's foundational principles is based on winning shyt and being the pinnacle of success/a dynasty. So either this iteration makes it clear that this group is about straight up havoc, or they should win something here and there.

I noticed she had a lowkey knee braces on during Backlash.
