The Bloodline storyline has been driving the WWE for the past three and a half years. Roman Reigns with Jey Uso started the stable with the advice of Paul Heyman. Bloodline throughout the year updated into a stronger stable with the addition of Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, The Rock and now Tama Tonga. However, after WrestleMania 40, The Rock & Roman Reigns went on a hiatus from the company.
At this stage two WWE Hall of Famers, Mark Henry and Bully Ray on Busted Open Radio discussed what’s next for The Rock, Roman Reigns & The Bloodline. They also spoke about the potential matches they could have after their return.
Mark Henry on The Rock vs Cody Rhodes
Mark Henry believes that The Rock vs Cody Rhodes could at least take one-full year to happen.
“I will put a year timeline on The Rock and Cody [match]. The Rock probably won’t be back before WrestleMania next year.”
On Roman Reigns taking a hiatus
Mark Henry says that Roman Reigns deserves at least six-month hiatus.
“But, Roman, he deserves a six-month break. They need to go through the next six-month story arc of The Bloodline building itself like the nWo did. They brought in so many members and everybody didn’t stick. There are so many things that they can do that I feel like would be great options.”
Bully Ray on what’s next for The Bloodline
Bully Ray on the other hand predicts that The Bloodline will split into two as Rock’s Bloodline & Roman’s Bloodline, resulting in a Survivor Series War Games Match, between the two teams.
“They are going to plug people in that are going to add to the story, and not water down the story. Characters that can pick a side — ‘I’m with The Rock for this reason, I’m with Roman for this reason’ because it would be a waste to not split The Bloodline up right now. That story is right there — Rock’s version of The Bloodline, Roman’s version of The Bloodline.”
“When you tell this story the right way, you’ll eventually get to something big. And what do you think they’ll try to get to? They’ll try to get to Survivor Series and we might have a Bloodline-esque WarGames match.”
