During a recent appearance at Fanatics Fest NYC, Paul Heyman discussed The Bloodline stable and the current storyline in WWE.
Heyman mentioned that he wasn’t worried about the storyline being downgraded when Paul “Triple H” Levesque assumed control of WWE creative in July 2022.
Heyman further noted that The Bloodline still has a long way to go in its storyline.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On if there were any concerns of Triple H downgrading The Bloodline when he took over: “I say this with all false humility aside. I could not imagine someone coming in, in this era, and saying, ‘Yeah, I’ve seen enough of the Bloodline. Enough of them. Alright, Roman, thanks a lot; see you later.’ Some people tried to rail me over the coals last year, ‘Paul Heyman said they’re only in the third inning. What a jerk off Paul Heyman is.’”
On how The Bloodline isn’t in the third inning yet: “I have news for you, I don’t even think we’re in the third inning yet.’ Now that you see the emergence of Solo and Jacob Fatu and the Tongans and the fact that they are a real threat, the first time, a real threat to Roman Reigns’ dominance, to Roman Reigns sitting at the Head of the Table, to Roman Reigns being the top star, to Roman Reigns actually being the Tribal Chief, how many stories can we tell from the position that we’re in now. You don’t know what Jimmy Uso’s stance on this is. You don’t know what Jey Uso’s stance on this is. You don’t know if or when The Wiseman will return. You don’t know who else Solo may or may not have in his back pocket ready to debut. You don’t know what Roman Reigns’ moves, what my moves, what anybody’s moves can be. All you know is that Roman Reigns is back, he’s back to reclaim the title of Tribal Chief from Solo, and Solo has so much backup right now that Roman is in deep, deep, deep trouble.”
On the strength of the stable and overall storyline: “I can’t imagine someone coming into power in this company and saying, ‘We’ve told the entire story of the Bloodline.’ I see someone coming into power and saying, ‘Oh my God, look what I get to play with now.’”
