The Bloodline saga is arguably the most celebrated storyline of the current generation. The ever-changing dynamics between Roman Reigns and the other members of The Bloodline were enjoyed by a lot of fans. The Original Tribal Chief made his emphatic return and attacked Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam. After his return, Paul Heyman expressed his opinion about his and The Bloodline’s future. 

While talking with Newsweek Sports, Paul Heyman expressed confidence that they would put the past four years of their work to shame. It was exactly four years ago, in 2020, when he became Roman Reigns‘ beloved Wiseman. Since then, they have both led The Bloodline to unprecedented heights. The Hall of Famer felt that he had a bigger challenge ahead of him, which was to take back the title of The Tribal Chief.

Since losing the world title to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL, he has been absent from WWE. In his absence, Solo Sikoa seized the opportunity to rise through the ranks and create a new, more evil Bloodline. When Heyman refused to acknowledge the 31-year-old star as the new Tribal Chief, they put him through a table.

Reigns finally returned at SummerSlam and attacked Solo, which ultimately helped Rhodes retain the title. Interestingly, Heyman didn’t come out with him but was reportedly seen backstage that night. The 58-year-old veteran felt that this storyline could go in many directions and would be fascinating.

While speaking in the same interview, the Hall of Famer expressed that all the members of the new Bloodline, as well as the original one, should be included. He then named a few top stars like Rhea Ripley, Bron Breakker, Seth Rollins, and Liv Morgan who fit the criteria. Furthermore, Heyman mentioned that some of the NXT superstars were also ready to be called up to the main roster.

Every member of The Bloodline. Every member of Solo’s Bloodline, obviously, because there’s a lot of money to be made there. Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Bron Breakker, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, Austin Theory. A third of the NXT roster, which I think is ready to be called up into action now.

The SmackDown Six, a famous group from 2002, included talented stars like Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio, Edge, Eddie Guerrero, and Chavo Guerrero. They rose to the spotlight through their hard work and talent, making their names on the blue brand. Without a doubt, there will be many superstars in the future who will achieve similar success.
