The funniest part about this, was after Smackdown went off the air, the fans were chanting “YOU DESERVE IT!” to Reigns as he was trying to pick himself up. Comedy gold.
Best part the close up on roman as you hear the Usos theme playing. It's not paranoia. You can see the distrust and fear and paranoia on his face it's gold.
Wwe gotta upload that online
@@pleaseshutup7053they did it's on UA-cam. After Smackdown went off the air or something like that
@@DarkboyDranzer and the lyrics as the camera zoomed in on roman's face was "Its not paranoia, ITS THE USOS!" that was perfect i dont know if that was intentional but it was perfect
This feud doesnt need the title. The championship is a prop at this point.
I can’t express enough how much this storyline has revived my attention to WWE. Everything before 2020 was pretty much a pain to watch.
I remember 2017-2019 WWE lmao that was the dark era of wrestling it was WCW 2000 level of terrible
@@sarjeshkhadgi2841I still have ptsd from 2019 WWE 😣
2018-2019 was the worst year to watch wwe
@@SP2CrazyAll the terrible Raws and Smackdowns plus every PPV being 4 hours for some reason💀
@@sarjeshkhadgi2841 It was painful. Roman’s heel turn saved the product for me tbh😂 I was just exhausted as a fan watching especially 2019.
Jey doesn't get enough credit for how good his promo skills are. His delivery makes you believe everything he says.
I love Jey hen reminds me of my friend stick
hes the MVP of this whole thing
The chosen one
I've always been a fan of the Usos promo skills both of them really even in the super scripted environment their delivery and their style makes it their own
Man that was amazing
Roman’s tantrum 🤣🤣 and selling over both super kicks was top tier
I hate holding Roman up there for three years. Hate it. Particularly being a part timer. He sold the snot out of that last kick. Really impressive.
You could take 10-15 hours of this storyline and supercut it into a classic and very epic movie with the right editing
Could make a trilogy out of it. The formation of The Bloodline with Jey vs. Roman and then Jey becoming the Right Hand Man as Part 1. Sami joining and his eventually betrayal in Part 2. Then the downfall and dissolution in Part 3.
Wow. I mean, just no life. U got no life bruh
Fr
And then ship that edit off for consideration
@@copenormcbrokelegsproperra2909 And Part 4 should be when Cody beats him.
"Sami just sits on that equipment case waiting for people to walk by so he can nod at em." 😂😂😂😂😂
If u need me. I’ll be here.. in whatever building 😂😂
This storyline is why Heyman will always have a job with Vince. People keep trying to give HHH credit, but this is 100% Heyman and Roman.

@@thomas3146 no printer
HHH didn’t do crap. When Vince stepped out last summer they already booked Sami Zayn in the bloodline.
This was Vince idea, said by Heyman.
Booked by Reigns and Michael Hayes too, HHH is just going with it now when all is already done, you guys wanting to give HHH credit everytime is creepy.
@@alexpolanco7885 Probably because Vince hasn't been able to run a long term angle in twenty plus years. It's not exactly his MO these days.
The pop after that superkick was amazing 🔥🔥. This is officially one of the greatest storylines in wrestling history.
It doesn’t get mentioned enough, but the Usos have the best super kick in the business right now by far. Way better than the Young Bucks or Adam Cole.
Young bucks suck but no one will ever be HBK
It'd be nice if they did any move besides that and the splash, though.
I like the Bloodline story, but their superkicks are still leg-slappingly bad. But WWE shoots them well most times.
They half-ass their kicks. They get as much extention as Kevin Owens, and at least KO cab blame his gut.
Shelton Benjamin and Dolph Ziggler have great super kicks, too
Everything about this was incredible.
From Jey referring to himself as Joshua, to him sounding off at Jimmy in a shoot style (some may have even been a shoot), to Roman & Paul reacting as Jey was doing it, to the swerve, to the subtle way the other titles slid out of Paul's hands like he had oily hands to him even crying. Incredible.
Jey Uso deserves a singles championship after this performance man. He’s really elevated himself into a Main Event player during this Bloodline storyline.
Hope when the Bloodline storyline finally ends, Jey wins the big one and Jimmy just hugs him tells him to secure his legacy and he will be here when it’s time take people back to the USO penitentiary. Not a breakup just brothers going their own way to forge their own path knowing there the best tag team in the world
I apologize if someone else has said this but please Brian give us a bloodline omnibus at the end of this year.
Yes bro...they gotta do that
Seconded. A Bloodline Omnibus is a must.
Roman Done A Phenomenal Job Getting Over Jimmy, Jey, Solo and Even Sami Job well done
Cena said it too. That Roman is soo good at carrying people along with him. Also elevated Cody too
Let's not forget the smiling, waving Cowboy Brock character.... Brock wouldn't have been able to pull this off with anyone but Roman
Also helped KO
Main Event Jey Uso. This has been a great ride that propelled Jey into the main event picture. I didn’t have that on my bingo card 3 years ago
Lol he was main eventing against Roman 3 years ago
@@pleaseshutup7053 but no one believed he was beating Roman in 2020. That was still tag team Jey…
@@starshipfame1 fair point but that’s where he got the name main event Jey uso because of that feud I remember because it’s feud when I started listening to him Cornette
The SuperKick heard around the World. From the Bloodline to the Blood Feud. The best storyline in wrestling in a long time is reaching its final chapters and everyone involved deserves to be praised. This will go done as one of the best storylines in WWE history.
😂😂
B-b-but omega and hangman was the best longterm story telling ever! Uncle Dave said so! They did the thing with the call back to a PWG match from 2005 that only Excalibur remembers
Mark
@@orlandoigno482 Snowflake
Its called storytelling at its finest Jim, that is why people are not setting sits on fire. They are excited and they loved it.
This storyline is basically Sports Entertainment done right
Jey Uso vs Roman Reigns in 2020 was amazing now it'll be even better with the crowd
That superkick had so much weight to it man Jey has been getting used and abused for 3 years by Roman like he was manipulated for years that superkick was basically him overcoming all the pain and trauma and finally being happy,perfect storytelling.
Also that Sami Zayn and Jey Uso backstage segment was perfect they said so much without even saying anything🤷♂️
@@lawrencemowersiii7114when wwe cares they hit it out of the park wish they cared more outside the bloodline stuff
When Roman inevitably goes to Hollywood after his wrestling career winds down, he has to take Jey with him. His acting is impeccable. This man legit had me thinking he was gonna reject his brother.
Jey is showing top guy potential. I think he should stick around at the top of the card to raise his profile
U think reigns is going to Hollywood? His acting here is not good. Why's he always have that dumb smile and goofy as laugh.
I loved how Roman acted like a superior, entitled, dictator that was like, How dare you. The facial expressions and selling has been great even if Roman holding the titles to beat Hulk's record is a bad choice.
It clearly wasn't a bad choice. You don't have the bloodline/head of the table stuff with sami etc if Roman wasn't champion. Fact.
He doesn't beat Hogan until September 2024. The Usos are already gone. They'd have to reform with him again, or he'd have to bring in a new Bloodline, or just be him and Solo for the long haul, and at that point, you're jumping the shark pretty badly. Until the turn happened with Jimmy, the storyline post Cody losing was already losing steam. Continuing it for another *15 months* when they're already pretty much done as a fully formed faction seems almost impossible. I don't know how they stretch it to WM 40, frankly, with how fast The Usos turned post 39.
@Kratosx23 they haven't even got the rock back to truly challenge for the head of the table. Or whatever, which they have been trying for 2 years.
They also have other family members they can bring in.
How is it a bad choice if you're making this comment?
@Kratosx23 There's only a few PPVs left in 2023. You can run 3 straight Roman vs Bloodline title matches until Mania. Jey at SummerSlam. Jimmy at Crown Jewel. Solo at Rumble. What you do with him while he sits out potentially Extreme Rules, Survivor Series, and Elimination Chamber is up to chance.
The Royal Rumble segment still my favorite high point of the storyline. You can call me a mark I proudly am I teared up a bit watching that
Roman being so believable as a bad guy, Sami genuinely making you feel sorry for him. The intense beat down & Jey not joining in just walking away
I love how the twins have always stayed by each other's side there's times where I thought Jey would turn on jimmy
Jey dropping his shoot name was like "Damn..they're going deep"
It reminded me ofnthe Bret-Owen-Bulldog stuff from the 90s. Blurry lines between fiction and reality
They always find a way to make The Bloodline storyline more and more interesting every week.
All while AEW can't seem to draw a milly every week.
Brian: Just a thought.
Jim: “Yeah. But it died of loneliness.” Corny, you are the king!! Incredible.
They haven't had a story-line like this since Austin-McMahon. And there's only a few I could think of that are in that stratosphere in my wrestling lifetime (Note that I'm not as old as Brian Last and certainly not as old as Jim Cornette). Savage/Hogan/Elizabeth. Sting/WCW/NWO. Austin/McMahon. Kane/Undertaker origins.
The greatest storyline in WWE history when it’s all said and done, the layers and details in the bloodline story are just incredible.
Found the 13 year old
@@McGomezAddams Considering all you post is gameplay videos nobody watches, you seem like the 13 year old 😂
Let’s calm down now
@@Mattyice25 I know it’s soon to say, but for me there was no errors or low points to this story, and I know looking back in the coming years I’ll still feel the same.
@@McGomezAddams I am 37 years old and more into this storyline than any other storyline from when I started watching at age 10 until now.
When Jey kicked Roman I jumped out of my chair and screamed!!! 🔥
Mark
@@thafather414 God forbid someone watches wrestling and actually feels something. Gtfo
@@thafather414 He's 9, it's to be expected.
It’s so cringey when neckbeards use wrestler terms like mark to bully others in the comment section. Grow up jerk
One of, if not, the best segment of 2023.
This entire story needs to be nominated for an EMMY! It should have some EMMY awards already anyways.
As much as I'm a fan of "The Tribal Chief ☝🏾, that was one of the greatest "swerves" I've ever seen by Jey Uso. Props to all of them, but, especially Jey.
I think this is the best storyline in wrestling in years. I’ve loved it from start to finish. What does suck is wwe not putting this great effort into the rest of their storylines.
the sell on the double super kick to roman and how fast he went to the floor was absolute perfeciton
My dad who hates wrestling dvrs snackdown and raw and will fast forward the entire shows just looking for anything Bloodline.
Roman also sold it to the crowd for about 10 mins in ring after the kick. The crowd got to chant "you deserve it" for a solid few mins and Roman reacting to the crowd. It was great from Roman and Jey. Jey deserves Emmy for promo and set up of that pop. When he said "you're out" the entire crowd was silent until that super kick.
The highlights on Raw intercut childhood photos. They show that Jimmy may have been Prom King and Player of the Year. Great f'n storytelling.
Jimmy WAS Player of the Year, just ask Trinity
Roman yelling "you don't hit me"
Usos: oh yeah? Watch this! *Double superkick*
"You dont leave me"
Reigns is the greatest of this era.
“You don’t need me”
Interesting note, Solo took single super kick and didnt go down, Roman took one and went down. it took a double super kick from both the twins to knock solo out of the ring.
Roman was blindsided tho Solo wasn't since he saw Roman get attacked
I feel like if they wanted Jey to dethrone Roman they have the perfect copout...have Roman vs Jey at Summerslam where Jimmy is at ringside for Jey and Solo is at ringside for Roman...have a spot where the ref is "knocked out" and have Solo spike Roman and turn on him to side with The Usos and have Jey pin Roman...you could then have a modified Bloodline with three legit brothers and Roman could come back with revenge on his mind and you could set up a variety of matches different ways
This segment was awesome!
The bloodline story is so compelling, I'm hooked every single week. Just everything about it has been incredible. I never thought I'd see a story this well told and well acted for so long. It's the best thing in wrestling right now.
They really took it to the next level with this storyline since January.
Another absolutely brilliant Bloodline segment. Loved the whole 'your out of the Bloodline' pause 'And I'm out too' Marvelous. Also Paul's face slowly going from grinning to worried lol.
I actually HAVE seen huge stars, not just jobbers, go down like that with just one super kick.
Back in those days when Shawn Michaels did it and it wasn't a two dozens super kicks fiesta in 30 secs routine done by some talent less hacks.
That’s so true..people pay hundreds for a ticket to watch a weekly soap opera instead of actual wrestling matches. Vince is a genius.
Wrestling is a soap opera
@AlasdairMacAoidh don’t compare real sport to a tv show about fake fighting please. We saw wrestling fans bitching about the design of a f’n belt in the last month lol
That segment was so awesome I watched it about seven times straight on UA-cam
See if the sharks are on a low cholesterol diet had me ugly laughing.
I'm glad Brian brought up how Roman sold the double superkick it was an INCREDIBLE the way he went down
That was so well done, they had me thinking Jey was definitely leaving the bloodline when the segment started and then when he did turn on Roman I was totally shocked
That look before the super kick was amazing
Cornettew podcast got me back into wrestling, i started watching again around aew debut but didnt really pay attention, same with wwe. All because of corney I’m hooked again.
The Only 3 that matters in 3 years not the Young Cucamonga Kids and Twinkle Toes
The Bloodline is undoubtedly a top 5 storyline of all time, maybe even top 3 after some deliberation.
That Superkick by Jey was absolutely perfect
The double superkick (and the selling by Roman) was the cherry on top
The sell was so damn good
I was waiting for Brian to say "perfect time to bring in Jacob Fatu....Fatu and Solo vs The Usos at SummerSlam."
This is what you loved about the WWE bc they can plan Amazing story telling when pushed.
The best thing on tv this weekend
Jey Uso is so top tier. Best facial expressions since Eddie Guerrero. He's taking the title at Summerslam
I doubt that now. 😅 would be nice.
Yeah I agree, best facial expressions since Eddie 👏🏿👏🏿
Rather then a shark, Paul needs a walrus tank. Even the crowd chanted walrus at one point of this epic event
Curious if Jim still thinks that Jimmy is the better promo, and what he thinks of Jey potentially being the end to Roman's reign
“We’ve been trying to groom you. Manscape you…” lololol
This is probably the closest moment to matching Shawn super kicking Marty.
I know, non-action sucks, but the Bloodline Saga is FANTASTIC!
See, AEW can take a few classes from WWE especially with this. THIS was perfectly executed, with the fact that Jimmy turned around and said "Guess what! Yo out!" and Roman had the shit eating grin on his face like "Yes! I split the Usos up and turned them against each other!" and then seemed to not hear the "And I'm out too!" before the superkick.
I loved how Roman as the narcissistic heel threw a hissy fit in the ring, Heyman trying to grab the two retired titles like someone had smashed them with a hammer (kudos points for those who remember that segment) and got double superkicked. When Smackdown went off the air, you could literally hear the crowd chant "You deserved that!" as well as Michael Cole saying "Roman's empire has crumbled! Et Tu, Jimmy!" which was a great add on for Cole to say. This definitely had Triple H's fingerprints on it and not Vince's.
Idk what roman did in 2020 when he walked away due to his concerns with his health but god damn hes gotten so good at promos, selling moves and everything. Idc how hes held his titles his work is amazing
The sharks wouldn't have ate Paul. Professional courtesy
When this storyline is said and done, WWE better release a Bloodline History package, with all matches and segments. i follow it here and there, but its the best thing going for WWE right now, the story and everyone is on their A game.
I grew up watching the Rock n Roll Express, Midnight Express and the Road Warriors and loved those tag teams. The USO’s may be the greatest tag team ever, if not they are putting up a great fight in to be.
Remember the south park wwe episode where wrestling was all about storylines and cutting promos the fans were glued to it
Codys prophecy is coming to be
Aunt Lola has surpassed Mama Cornette for my favorite witticisms. 😂
I had a feeling Cody lost because they wanted Jey to be the first guy to beat Roman. Summerslam is gonna be wild.
Cornettes delivery is hilarious at times.
"The problem is your BROTHER"
It was a perfect segment.
This was epic amazing stuff 🔥🔥
i don’t think the bloodline interview for the main event is a negative against WWE. it shows how over Roman and the bloodline are that the fans go crazy just to hear them talk.
Imagine down the road if a big heel faction is running wild. Usos trying their best. Maybe get solo back in the tribe but are still out numbered then out comes roman.
Fans do "WHAT?" chants when heels are talking out of their asses; it's actually pretty consistent.
Sami was posted up on that random crate like he was in 2K.
You could make a movie out of the Bloodline saga. This has been pure gold.
Best storyline of all time Already!!!
It's rare when I watch something a second time and pop just as much as I did while watching it live, but I did here!
If you put Heyman in a shark tank, he'd be running the tank in 30 minutes.
I don't even know how long it's been, probably the 90s, since I watched wrestling on TV live. I always record it. Every year the percentage of the show I fact forward through goes up. It's gotta be between 80-90% nowadays.
This reminds me so much of the South Park episode where they debate what wrestling is. It's hilarious
I'm disappointed Travis's artwork isn't of Paul in a shark tank.
Omigosh it's almost as if things in the seventies aren't the same as they are in the 2020s 🙄
“Jey, it’s time for your answer. Are you standing with your brother or with me, the man who put food on your table? Speaking of tables, up next is a word from Ikea, the finest in build it yourself furniture at prices so good that “Your Tribal Chief” acknowledges THEM.”
FUCKIN HILARIOUS JIM! "The Sharks wouldn't bother him; professional courtesy" HAHAHA
Paul Heyman above the ring in a shark tank would have been an awesome illustration. lol
The ‘what’ chant is the worst thing to ever happen to wrestling
I used to think that until people started singing Seth Rollins’ song.
I didn’t like it when Austin started it. His promos were better without it. McMahon buying WCW was worse.
Cody, Judgement Day and The Bloodline have kept my interest in WWE at a time when it started to dwindle. All of them deserve a bunch of zeros added to their checks!
I think the line that really worked me into believing jey was turning on jimmy was "you've been doubting me? I expect this from him (roman), but not you."
I feel a rock intervention in an upcoming story line
"We've been trying to groom you, Manscape you!" 😂😂😂😂😂
Caught that💀💀💀
Jey was out there stressing me out im thinking he bout to ditch jimmy when he hit me with the “Im out too” i lost my shit
This storyline proves that no matter how many DUI's you get, as long as you're related to the top star you're ok to get several accolades and a huge run on top
Great segment
This is WWE’s best storyline since the Mega Powers
Jim I laughed at the manscape joke. I know Brian didn’t, but I did.
Imagine caring about CM Sux, when there is this masterpiece on tv.....
The weird thing about cornette not understanding this is, wrestling has always been a business first and foremost. You can talk about all the history and legacy, but the most important thing since day one of all the carney shit has always been drawing money.
This is storytelling is whats drawing money. You would think a historian like cornette would get it.
Even going back to his peak years it was still about drawing money, and he knows that. The wrestling he thinks is awesome is still not the same and looks faker than wrestling that drew the money in the 40s and 50s.
This shit evolves.
Today, how the bloodline is playing out, its money and it is most of the money. A month from now, if logan paul being WC and drawing a ton money from watching on his cell phone was the money, then you know the whole industry would change again.
Tldr: i love 99% if cornette's shit, but its hilarious to me when i hear him talk about how the bloodline storytelling is confusing to him.
