4 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Crown Jewel 2024 (Results & Review)
2. Another Bloodline House Show Match
To be perfectly fair to the Bloodlines (both original and new), their six-man tag match was less about the wrestling than it was about drama and the story that accompanied it.
But good God, that was an incredibly slow, basic match. There’s milking crowd reactions, and then there’s killing a whole herd of cows. Drama, drama, drama… basic wrestling in slow motion, and then a burst of action in the final five minutes to pull the match out of the single star region to something respectable.
Fans who are deeply into the Bloodline/OTC story probably loved all of this top to bottom, and that’s more than fine. But if you know the story beats already and just want to watch them play out in the most entertaining manner possible, a 15-minute snoozer that was only hot for the last three or four minutes (after sitting through 10 minutes of entrances) isn’t exactly your brand of elixir.
They hit the story beats, so consider that a victory itself. But this match will never be on any fans’ rewatch list.
