The return of the ex-Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns to WWE at SummerSlam 2024 is set to make the storyline of The Bloodline heat up.
During an interview with Newsweek, “The Wiseman” Paul Heyman indicated we can expect plenty of surprises in the unfolding storyline.
Below are the key points from the interview:
In discussing Roman Reigns’ return, sans the title: “Roman Reigns has always been the champion any time he’s appeared in a significant TV feature, up until SummerSlam 2024. Throughout the entirety of the Bloodline narrative, Roman Reigns has held the champion title.”
Talking about the coming next stage of the Bloodline storyline: “We are transitioning into a new chapter of the Bloodline epic. This chapter features Roman Reigns without his champion title. How does he rectify this? How will he reclaim the title of The Tribal Chief? With Jimmy and Jey missing in action and The Wiseman yet to return, how will Roman Reigns handle this alone? Is this a personal saga of retribution akin to traditional spaghetti westerns where a lone ranger cleans up the village and exercises revenge? Or is it the type where he needs help, even if he’s reluctant to admit it? What twists could possibly occur?”
About the enduring potential of the storyline: “We have a lengthy journey yet to travel. For me, the path it’s set to take and the numerous possibilities at hand is what makes it thrilling. Our hope is that this storyline will surpass the four years of work we’ve put in until now.”
