During a recent appearance on the “SI Media” podcast, Roman Reigns explained his reasons for striking Seth Rollins with a steel chair during his match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.
Ultimately, Reigns lost that match and the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Rhodes.
The Original Tribal Chief said, “Any time I have the chance to f**k him up, I’m going to take it. That’s how I feel about him. Any time I have the chance to pull the trigger on him, I’m going to. He is a constant reminder and a lesson to myself on who to trust and how to trust them. If you can’t, how to keep him. That’s where I like to him, a chair’s length away.”
During a recent appearance on the “SHAK Wrestling” podcast, Paul Heyman declared that The Bloodline is his pick for the greatest wrestling storyline ever.
This Bloodline narrative has been ongoing for over four years, beginning with Roman Reigns’ alignment with Heyman on WWE television.
The Wise Man said, “Because of the longevity that the storyline has had, I would have to rank it number one. The money-drawing years of the Horsemen weren’t this long. The money-drawing years of the NWO weren’t this long. The money-drawing years of (Steve) Austin vs. (Vince) McMahon weren’t this long. (Hulk) Hogan vs. (Randy) Savage. Hogan vs. (Roddy) Piper, which put WrestleMania 1 on the map. Just in terms of overall storytelling and constant ebb and flow of affecting other people’s environment and how they tell their stories, I would suggest it’s the most significant, it’s the biggest money drawing, it had the most longevity, has held the most interest, and overall has done so by being the most intriguing and compelling because at every turn, you see the characters, not just turn towards what the story calls for, but the long-term effects of the development and evolution of these characters is never lost on us. If something happens that changes Roman Reigns in 2022, we don’t disavow knowledge of it in 2024. It plays into what’s happening in 2024. Because of that, and because we keep it consistent, I would rank it number one. All false humility aside.”
