Note the brackets.

The Bloodline story doesn't need to rage on as a full-time concern on Raw and SmackDown. Jey and Jimmy Uso worked against one another in Philly, and Roman Reigns finally lost his Undisputed Title. What's more, WWE has that aforementioned blockbuster between Rocky and Roman to look forward to next year.

Other acts will race to the forefront of both major brands now Bloodline business has been iced for now. One more chapter may occur on the Raw after 'Mania, but that'll likely be the last anyone sees of the dominant faction's offshoot storylines until creative is ready to go in all guns blazing on a battle for the 'Chief' spot.

As for Paul Heyman, who knows? His Hall Of Fame induction could bring the curtain down on the ex-ECW's owner's TV run. It's either that or he also takes a break before Roman's return later in the year/early next year. What a rollercoaster The Bloodline has been.

It isn't finished quite yet, but it does need a breather.
