I have been a big fan of the Bloodline story arc. It has legitimately been the best storyline in professional wrestling since the original YES! Movement, in my personal record book. Last night was the first time that I've felt like it was on the verge of jumping the shark. The only conclusion that I'm left with is that WWE feels, with greater than 90 percent certainty, that they can get The Rock at WrestleMania.
... Because if this s*** ends with Roman laying down for Cody Rhodes, I'm going to be so ****ing annoyed.

What’s the point of compelling story if it always just reverts back to the same old *******. The bloodline has been terrible for years. Roman is part time, shows up every few months and wins dirty because he has cousins. But wait, the cousins are now fighting, there’s tension, THE BLOODLINE IS IMPLODING, lol no it isn’t it’s stronger than ever and Roman goes on vacation until we repeat again at Survovor Series. I don’t care if it’s CODY, Damian Preist, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, someone just needs to end this nonsense and send Roman to Cena land where he shows up once a year and everything will be so much better.
Opinions can’t be false. This thing has overstayed its welcome to me for like two years and has made SD unwatchable. I’ve always found Roman nearly intolerable and this story / heel run hasn’t changed my thoughts. After the initial shock of the turn it’s just same old after same old after same old. There’s zero reason this needed to go four years.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that they have been "terrible", as I do think that, overall, they have been one of the better stables the WWE has ever put out. I wouldn't even go as far as to say that they have been "annoying", as they are simply a part of a storyline that draws them out to be as such. I think the storyline itself is the ultimate issue. At some point (and I don't know at which specific point), they should've taken somewhat of a significant detour as opposed to just keeping on the same path they've been on since it all began.
What's funny about this is that @SLAB appears to be of the opinion™ that the Bloodline arc has been a waste of time and, if this ends with Roman dropping the belt to Cody, that would make the end of the Bloodline a footnote in Cody Rhodes' story. And that actually would make the last four years a waste of time.
I do love when people are not on the Cody Wagon! He’s leveled up a bit from his first run, but I always said Cody is the ultimate C-level player. Curt Hawkins with the right dad.
There’s a list of people I’d rather end the reign than Cody. But at this point I’d take Boogs or a Viking Raiders ending this thing.

Yeah, well, that's the thing: I'm not anti-Cody. I mean, I'm anti Cody beating Roman specifically, but I'm not anti-Cody in any other aspect. I actually think that Cody is okay, and if it weren't for this dread feeling that they're going to put him over Roman, I'd actually be all-in on Cody (no pun intended).
If I had the book in WWE, I'd give Cody a title shot at one of the next two PLEs, only to have him screwed out of his title opportunity, via a Priest cash-in. Make him have to win the Rumble again, and then finally get his WrestleMania moment, by beating Priest for the Championship.

It should be Jey. Not only has he been the endgame where this story has been leading to since Thunderdome but, once they decided against putting Sami over in Montreal, Jey was the clear choice.
The only reason not to have Sami win it is if Jey is the guy. And the only reason not to pull the trigger on Jey is if, like I said yesterday, they have reason to believe that they can get a commitment from Rock to work Mania. There's nobody else, with the possible exception of Seth, that would give ending Roman's title reign a satisfactory conclusion. This story has been too well told, prior to the end of SummerSlam, for Roman to lose to just anybody; who beats him matters.
