10 Secrets Behind The Legendary WWE Bloodline Saga

9. WWE Didn’t Have It All Mapped Out

This is a quite-fascinating thought in a company which claims to think long-term, but…WWE didn’t have a ruddy clue where they eventually wanted Roman or his Bloodline to end up. They’d been flexible creatively since his return in mid-2020, and willing to experiment then pull back when sensing something wouldn't work, but there was never a concrete plan.

Until there was.

Things started to take shape once Roman began his "Acknowledge Me" stuff and raced through the first act of a cracking feud with Jey Uso. That, much like every other story beat throughout the saga, was given plenty of room to breathe; however, again, WWE were flying by the seat of their pants.

Remember, Reigns didn't actually get new theme music either until months into his 'Tribal Chief' run. He used the classic Shield tune upon returning, and critics (including this dummy) pie-faced the new entrance away at first.

It grew on everybody, to say the least.
