It's Official: WWE STILL Can't Finish Roman Reigns' Story

The longer it drags on, the more redundant it is and the less sense it makes.

If WWE was a fair promotion on the level, the Bloodline (and anybody else) would have been banned from ringside for a big Roman match years ago. (When the Usos were banned at Royal Rumble, WWE still found a way - a terrible and anti-climatic way - to keep the belt on Reigns at the 2022 Royal Rumble). WWE has inadvertently depicted itself as stupid and unfair, just to prolong the story. Where's the cage match (not that WWE know how to book one properly)? Why is the Bloodline allowed to interfere in every single big Reigns match? Is the implication here that it could all go on forever?

WWE as a storyline entity is complicit in the Bloodline's heel work, and there's no evil authority figure in play for it to make sense. WWE is not "cinema"; Triple H literally told you that at the WrestleMania 39 press conference. It is soap opera in which the good characters can't live happy lives for long because relentless, miserable drama is required for a medium that cannot by design offer the audience a happy ending because there is no ending at all. But mix it up, for Christ's sake. A winner can face a series of challenges. That's a story, one that worked very well when WWE was at its most popular. Twice.

The Bloodline saga is at this point actually very sh*tty, broken and meaningless storytelling, total procrastination for the only purpose of allowing it keep happening, but Jey Uso looks conflicted in the background so there are "layers" to it all.

So how will WWE finish a story that actually does have to end at some point?

Many people point towards Jey. Jey did a job for Angelo Dawkins on Raw last year. He is not the next face of the company. The idea that WWE thought of booking Jey Uso to dethrone Roman Reigns after a multi-year build at WrestleMania XL, in the autumn of 2020, is naive fantasy, sorry.
