Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I think the best thing to do with Sami would be a title shot where he looks really strong and ALMOST wins. Like maybe he’s set up to finish Roman and Jey trips him or something. Then they all beat him down after. KO makes the save and together they win the tag titles. Then maybe they show up at Mania to take out the Uso’s at Mania to prevent them from interfering leading to a Cody win.

The dilemma they have with Sami is the second you kick him out of the bloodline he’s going to instantly become less entertaining. Pairing him with KO will help though

Just ordered the Sami Zayne Honorary UCE tshirt. Brilliant segment.

Already out of XL shirts when I tried to buy one, I guess given WWE shirts tend to shrink in the dryer I could buy a 2X and let it shrink to a XL. I could see this getting Sami Zayn to a Daniel Bryan type of push if done right. Obviously not the whole takeover the entire shows until we get what we want type of stuff we saw with Daniel in 2013/early 2014 but maybe closer to KofiMania.

Update: WWE Shop is now out of Large, Extra Large and 2X sizes for the new Sami shirt. Only been available for 24 hours... fans are really behind Sami.

Hope you were able to grab a 2XL.

I think I’d recommend buying larger from them now anyway. When I bought a shirt at HIAC I noticed the shirts aren’t as boxy as they used to be. They’re not fitted, but it’s a slimmer fit than before.

Man The Bloodline can't give Sammy one of their new shirts? [emoji38]

Jey walking back and forth like a dog wanting to get to someone waiting for the command. lol

I was over here feeling bad for Sammy, like man you getting ready to get a serious beat down, Sammy looking all nervous smh lol

I didn't think this Bloodline storyline could have the legs to go nearly 3 years, but damn it if I and plenty of other wrestling fans have been proven wrong.

Bravo to the Usos, Roman, Paul Heyman, Sami Zayn and now Solo. [emoji1490] [emoji1490][emoji1490]

This long - term storyline and booking is what WWE has missed in a very long time, IMO. I'll give Vince props to for seeing the vision (early on) and Triple H for not killing this off before it should be.

I still feel like there's some truth to it all. Reigns did say Sami isn't in the Bloodline, but gave him the "Honorary Uce" shirt. Maybe it still implies Sami isn't actually in the Bloodline in Reigns eyes, but he'll at least be considered some honorary member (which carries less weight to Reigns).

But what a rollercoaster of emotions. Looks like Reigns is about to drop Sami right then and there, but instead gives him a new shirt.

And the fact that this Reigns story has been going on for over 2 years now is impressive. Some people could say they're getting bored, but I can't think of a time during these 2 years I've been bored of the stories they've had for him.

I was already disappointing when WM37 was moving from LA to TB, thinking that would've been the WM with Rock vs Reigns, and thinking there's no way they can keep this Reigns story going another year. Then WM38 I thought since its the WM with a full house in Dallas, that would've been cool too to have it. Didn't happen then either and I thought again there's no way they can keep it up.

Now I really hope WM39 is the time. One interesting thing I noticed is that Heyman said the "tribal elders" had Solo help Reigns. Could this be branching off and involving more of their family if it does lead to Rock vs Reigns? Tribal elders such as Afa? Sika? Rikishi?

Tonight we find out the reveal of the White Rabbit or do we just get another clue?

Sami isn't actually in the Bloodline, neither is Heyman for that matter. The Bloodline is pretty specifically just the Samoan dudes. The shirt thing was Reigns officially acknowledging Sami's help over these however many months, and "upgrading" him to that self-described Honorary Uce status.

Tonight we find out the reveal of the White Rabbit or do we just get another clue?

It's gotta be another clue. It's going to have to evolve to stay interesting, but my guess would be they don't do the reveal until Extreme Rules or one of the "season premiere" episodes of Raw or SD, whenever those are.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I have a really big interest in Raw tonight. Looks to be some really good action coming out way!

Also can't wait for the next White Rabbit tidbit we get.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Can we get past Edge feuding with Judgement Day at this point? So apparently the White Rabbit clue points to Smackdown this week giving us another clue even though tonight's clue sent us all over the place.

So now the Way can be fully reunited with Candice Larae back, another surprise return. Overall again a solid show but yeah I agree, we don't need long matches every week. If I want that, I can watch AEW where they do that every week.
