The Bloodline is actually based on relevant stuff. And things actually happen week to week and the story evolves month to month and year to year. Edit: Just looked at their Wikipedia entry. Whole lotta who cares. Their entire basis for existing was to "fight against injustices" lol. But those "injustices" were never expounded upon. Pointless. Doesn't help that I have pure unadulterated hatred for Ambrose but all this group did was make these people exist before Rollins and Reigns emerged as who they now are.

The Shield was a great group, but like you said, how many major feuds did they have? Obviously the group gets looked on better now when you see all 3 became main eventers/future HOFers.

But same can be said of many other teams though.

Doesn't mean they're not an all time great group in WWE, 12-14 wasn't the greatest period in WWE overall, but they definitely could've been better too.

Okay jaded ***, lol.

The Shield was a GREAT group.

Debut to help Punk - story 1

1. Went against Ryback
2. Debut match against Hell No & Ryback (AMAZING match)
3. ****ing up The Rock

Continued now to the "Injustices of WWE" - story 2

*. This one is just the middle of their run. Some teases of who is the leader between Roman and Dean. Their title wins.

The Authority's Dogs - story 3

*. Helped The Authority

Against the Authority/Face Turn - story 4

1. Facing off with all the mid card heels
2. Wyatt Family
3. Evolution

The Split Up - story 5


I understand not enjoying something, but their debut, and their story was so, so good. Put your personal bias aside.

No personal bias at all. I love Roman and Seth so I'd love to fluff the stable up if I could. Especially Ci it involved Triple H who's my favorite ever.

I just....eh?

They had some entertaining six man tags if I really dove into it and saw who they faced but that's about it in my opinion.

From all reports, Chad Gable is technically a free agent as his contract was up last Friday. I'm assuming they came to a one week agreement to get through Clash at the Castle. Chad should go out on RAW tonight and threaten to leave the WWE with the IC Title if they don't give him what he wants.

I mean we won't see Drew recreate Punk's storyline but do it with Gable.

Speaking of free agent, seems another talent could be having their last match tonight.

Spoiler

Ricochets deal that has been rumored to be up soon and not being re-signed only has him working through tonight. So tonight's his last show.

Turns out he lost the Speed title already and the episode airs on Wednesday.

Hopefully Samantha doesn't leave too. Her leaving would be a way bigger loss than Ricochet.

And thinking about it, I could see Gable losing at Clash only because of the Alpha Academy which causes him to kick everyone out of the Alpha Academy.

He gets one final rematch at MITB (maybe a "if Gable loses, he must leave WWE" type of situation) but he beats Zayn for the title in Canada with the help of the Creeds who have now joined the Alpha Academy.

That would draw big heat with that title win, and maybe the Creeds go on to win the tag titles at Summerslam? Anyone who opposes R-Truth is getting booed, and you're facing Miz in Cleveland, so extra heat for them too.

Otis bringing up Mandy Rose and "Tucky". A shame the pandemic era ruined this. Otis-Mandy story was getting good.

I think him turning on Gable probably will be his biggest reaction since those days.
