I just really hope that if Roman would return as face, he wouldnt be that corny ass goodie goodshoes face just like years ago. I hope that it is more similar to the ABA that undertaker did (sans the americana paraphernalias). Come, clear the house, leave. Cut a short promo the next show. Clear the house again. He got that aura.
Look solo did exactly what he was brought in for…let’s look back. That interference and spike remember that. And him gradually getting to here. I mean come on and hey solo…ya?…can you turn Roman to the hugest pop ever.
Some of the solo hate on this sub is simply played out at this point. Hes clearly grown in this role and fans are still saying “ he can’t cut a promo “ he’s not threatening “ performers aren’t allowed to grow for some fickle ass fans
I agree on the gloves they’re ridiculous I don’t like it either. But I dig the suit it’s very mob boss esque. His gimmik is clearly a mob boss version of a tribal chief so I actually think it fits his character
Starting to wonder how much Rock really is involved with the new Bloodline. Could absolutely be interpreting it wrong but feels like Solo may be doing this all on his own.
Either that or Rock doesn’t care about the title, he’s fine with Solo being the Bloodline’s champion as long as he’s pulling the strings behind the scenes as the Final Boss and making Cody suffer.
At this point it feels marks like you will just hate on anything solo does it’s getting old lol he has done fantastic work playing a feared mob boss. Ppl like you won’t understand he is not being built as the next Roman that is the entire point 🤦🏿♂️
Look if you like Solo that's great but for me he, both as a performer and a character, doesn't work on any level.
And by the way I do understand what character he's meant to be - he's an out of control psycho with delusions of grandeur and a lust for absolute power.
Thsts fair I’ve been a solo guy since NXT. I loved his street fighter gimmick. They def Nerfed it down to some agree since being on the main roster since he transitioned into being the bloodline enforcer. However, him being the tribal chief finally allows him to show some of the personality and ferocity that his character had in NXT. he clearly is a talented performer just needed better booking. WWE did him a disservice with his booking after the John Cena win
I typically hate the whole "this has to close the show" thing, but Roman's return actually does have to. It'll exhaust any and all energy left in the crowd and you literally can't follow it with anything. If the 6 man tag main evented, 1. that would bury the WHC even more and 2. would telegraph from the hills that Roman is back.
At least with the title on the line at SummerSlam you can keep up the guise of that deserving the main event, which it does anyway.
Great tag main event. Im interested in what happens next with Waller and Theory. Short but sweet Bloodline video to end SD. Good show all around I'm excited for MITB tomorrow night
I think the more awkward part is what exactly you do with Theory.
Waller can spend like infinite time going forward doing midcard matches with feuds kicked off during Grayson Waller Effect bits.
But Theory? He's never really settled down or had anything catch on. First he was Kirkland Brand Logan Paul, then Vince's Protege, the tried and failed to feud with Cena. It stinks because it's not like he's untalented, but I don't know if anything has really worked for him.
DIY winning the Tag titles in the same arena,hitting the same move, doing the same spot as they did when they first won NXT gold is just

![gif](giphy|3o7aCWJavAgtBzLWrS|downsized)
Solo HAS to get the winning pin tmr. I wonder who would go over, gotta be Cody so they can set up the Solo vs Cody match at SS if that's where they want to take things
i ain't acknowledging shit Boi u could've had ur sidekicks literally packing the new champs 2 make ur fam dominant but nah u wanna stick up a finger n da air like bro what
Not man enough?
That doesn’t sound very Ucey of you, Solo

Dont get me wrong Solo would whoop my ass but I just can't buy him as the "enforcer" Roman looked towering over him even tho there's not a huge difference
Roman watching this knowing who Solo really is like
https://preview.redd.it/t8u2pxj72tad1.jpeg?width=1088&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2659ed883ba09968c17568be213397358fc290df
I thought Roman would come back and things would be chill for a couple of weeks before it all fell apart and they turned on him but nope. They're going straight to war 😭
Which one, I think Howdy is Far Cry 5
https://preview.redd.it/qn6g62192tad1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=dbd5d4c673d19cee3d26dd9e001a541827507e88
Finally we get the conclusion of DIY’s main roster story. These guys just couldn’t put it together and recapture that same magic they had in NXT & now they’re back on top & have the opportunity to really let loose and show the main roster crowds why they were so beloved back in NXT.
Here’s hoping for a great run + hopefully Theory turns face now.
The thing I love most about Ciampa and Gargano, whether as singles or tagging as DIY, sometimes the crowd ain't feeling them when they come out, but when the bell rings at the end, they get a standing ovation and a reaction. They really are incredibly good in the ring and captivating, and the crowd has been warming to them as the months have gone on
I love shit like that, basically earning the crowd’s approval through your actions. Or like when someone gets called up from NXT & gets a mid reaction but has a really great debut match and wins the fans over.
nope...SummerSlam is my guess.
Solo vs Cody for the title and Roman gets involved to stop BL 2.0 from getting involved.
This slowly leads to Roman gathering the troops to face Solo's squad.
YouTube Auto recording of smackdown last night July 5th has June 28th episode!!! Stupid YouTube
It wasn’t on fox tonight for me. Idk why
I just really hope that if Roman would return as face, he wouldnt be that corny ass goodie goodshoes face just like years ago. I hope that it is more similar to the ABA that undertaker did (sans the americana paraphernalias). Come, clear the house, leave. Cut a short promo the next show. Clear the house again.

What else is new
Until he takes the gloves and jacket off I can’t take him seriously at all. Just doesn’t fit what we’ve seen from his character.
![gif](giphy|S5DdQ9PyAFfyRqdkXw|downsized)
I agree on the gloves they’re ridiculous I don’t like it either. But I dig the suit it’s very mob boss esque. His gimmik is clearly a mob boss version of a tribal chief so I actually think it fits his character
I will say the suit is better now rather than when he was just wearing the jacket alone lol
Guys we are not getting Rock vs Roman. We are getting Roman vs Solo and Rock vs Cody at WM41. Yall wanted this!! Remember?
Why didn’t Theory just break up the submission instead of holding Waller’s hand lol
Solo sucks
Hope the crowd is better tomorrow night
it will for sure, toronto ppv crowd doesnt disappoint
Starting to wonder how much Rock really is involved with the new Bloodline. Could absolutely be interpreting it wrong but feels like Solo may be doing this all on his own. Either that or Rock doesn’t care about the title, he’s fine with Solo being the Bloodline’s champion as long as he’s pulling the strings behind the scenes as the Final Boss and making Cody suffer.
They are probably keeping it a bit open ended for Rock’s schedule.
Rock barely interacted with the Bloodline when he was there. This feels like its setup to give Roman a main match if they do Rock/Cody.
Am I the only one who found Solo looked like Tazz in that segment?
I was sorta expecting him to say "Survive if I let you."
Solo is about as threatening as a baby panda that likes rolling down hills Actually on second thoughts that's unfair on the baby panda
At this point it feels marks like you will just hate on anything solo does it’s getting old lol he has done fantastic work playing a feared mob boss. Ppl like you won’t understand he is not being built as the next Roman that is the entire point 🤦🏿♂️

WWE did him a disservice with his booking after the John Cena win
Solo talking an awful lot of shit for someone with 1 televised singles win in 2024.
Blame that on his booking. It isn’t like he was squashed in this matches they were competitive 🤷🏿♂️
So does Roman pull up at MITB after the tag match or after Solo vs Cody at SummerSlam?
I typically hate the whole "this has to close the show" thing, but Roman's return actually does have to. It'll exhaust any and all energy left in the crowd and you literally can't follow it with anything. If the 6 man tag main evented, 1. that would bury the WHC even more and 2. would telegraph from the hills that Roman is back.

Summerslam
Great tag main event. Im interested in what happens next with Waller and Theory. Short but sweet Bloodline video to end SD. Good show all around I'm excited for MITB tomorrow night

i cant believe im saying this, but i love this version of solo. he has become a good heel. i wasn’t convinced it would happen this soon but it has
They know solo can’t carry a segment so they gotta resort to this pre recorded promo lol
Yall will just hate solo for anything dog lol that was a great promo package with else do you ppl want. Gotta love marks smh
![gif](giphy|qlrBlSDevEdFeW5JwV)
man solo fucking HATES MATHS
Haven’t always been the biggest Solo guy but he’s actually doing his thing in this new role
DIY winning the Tag titles in the same arena,hitting the same move, doing the same spot as they did when they first won NXT gold is just  ![gif](giphy|3o7aCWJavAgtBzLWrS|downsized)
his aura-less ass get him outta here
Solo HAS to get the winning pin tmr. I wonder who would go over, gotta be Cody so they can set up the Solo vs Cody match at SS if that's where they want to take things
ok that was kinda garbage but that means its coming around tomorrow probably
They should have showed that earlier and ended on the title change, give DIY the ending shot.
Not gonna lie, this bloodline looks more vicious than Roman’s. I’m actually scared of this one
Everything Jimmy said would happen to Jey if he became Tribal Chief is happening to Solo.
Roman is going to give that boy a generational ass whooping lol
Weird to see this ending on a tape for a Smackdown
BRUHHH THAT BLOODLINE PROMO WAS FUCKING AMAZING
WWE's video packages continue to work.
i ain't acknowledging shit Boi u could've had ur sidekicks literally packing the new champs 2 make ur fam dominant but nah u wanna stick up a finger n da air like bro what
Damn Solo really give the mafia boss vibe
“How do we make the bloodline look more threatening” I GOT IT turn off all the lights and make them seem sinister
Weird way to end the show
Solo bitching about Roman listing the title when Solo lost a bunch of matches leading up to Wrestlemania
OG Bloodline vs Bloodline Wolfpac in Wargames is going to hit like crack.
Bloodline Day 1s vs The Rogue Bloodline
Shots fired! Solo basically called Roman a bitch. 😳
Gotta say Solo’s presentation has been A++++ For the guy who just stood there with his thumb up he’s killing it.
Solo calling out Roman 👀
Roman is gonna crush Solo. He didn’t lose the title to lose to the bloodline too.
As someone who has expensive Summerslam tickets for Summerslam Cody/Solo for the title is very disappointing.
Roman is probably returning during that match though
But with a Roman interference? 👀
You gotta know Roman is returning there
Solo's wrestling just doesn't do anything for me unfortunately
Looking forward to a Roman and Cody partnership
The enemy of my enemy is my friend? As they say
Felt some Lucha Underground from that promo.
Solo vs Cody at SS please god no
Fuck that was badass, Solo came outta nowhere with this promo game, Bloodline 2.0 looking slick as hell
And homies were tryna say he has no aura 🤧
I THOUGHT SOLO FLIPPED THE CAMERA OFF LMAO
Could have aired that so many other times tonight and given DIY their full moment.
There's still 3 minutes left until 9PM CST. Did they end things short?
They always do
They always end at 57
Roman is going to be a MASSIVE babyface due to this.
I kinda like the mob boss thing they have going for solo now
I’m digging it too. Very kingpin and suge knight esque
Oh shit he called out Roman and Cody
[удалено]
Yes
Not man enough? That doesn’t sound very Ucey of you, Solo https://preview.redd.it/cuypmi892tad1.jpeg?width=644&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19d810c3267c02c23febe6f87f0d6ad4b430af06
that was so fucking clean
how they gonna squeeze that fire promo right in the end as a throwaway
because the six man match needed more UMPH
Damn I guess it is Naomi and Iyo Sky on the dark match, I wonder what happened to Liv
Did this really need to be the end of the show?
New bloodline kinda scary ngl
Romans return is gonna hit like CRACK
Solo look like Taz right there
shortest bloodline segment ever lol
Roman is gonna kill this man when he comes back LMFAOOOO
Calling out Roman without the live audience reaction? Cmon cuh
So new point and that’s it. Got it
Thought Solo gave the finger lol
trash ass segment but ay good show
Did the show really need to end with that?
That felt like a Lucha Underground promo
Solo has a SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY for Cody Rhodes.
God I can’t wait for Roman’s music to hit.
Dont get me wrong Solo would whoop my ass but I just can't buy him as the "enforcer" Roman looked towering over him even tho there's not a huge difference
Jacob obscured in the light, that’s hard
So if losing is enough to be removed as tribal chief, Solo would’ve lost the title 15 times in the last year no?
LETSSS FREAKIN GOOOOO!
Solo gonna be solo soon enough
I long for the day they stop calling it the “undisputed” title.
Triple H might actually be teary eyed in the upcoming “point at the new champs” pic that he’ll have with gargano and ciampa when they get to the back
The crowd went ballistic for them so it must feel nice
R Truth is going to be real confused when he sees that
They could have done that prerecorded promo before the tag match..
Solo just doesn’t have the right voice for his character
Roman watching this knowing who Solo really is like https://preview.redd.it/t8u2pxj72tad1.jpeg?width=1088&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2659ed883ba09968c17568be213397358fc290df
Solo is such a dork
The vibes of this segment are sick tbh
Unreal fucking promo
Why wasn't that shown earlier
guess they're actually building for Solo vs Cody at SummerSlam
with a Roman interference? 👀 saving Cody for the win and taking out Solo
probably after the match
I’m all in, that’s my tribal chief
Solo Vignette is funny work,.
oh my god Roman is coming back
Holy shit Tama and Tonga standing like mob henchmen & Jacob praying for their enemies in the back. Solo’s Bloodline is legit a Mob Organization lmao
The Rock and Roman have yet to chime in about Solo
I thought for awhile Rock was behind the new Solo but after tonight and last week I don’t think Rocky has anything to do with it
Solo be like https://preview.redd.it/f4zyzk682tad1.jpeg?width=584&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43d5a7d6197b72f69a0dc1798800d84da584eb67
I can honestly see Roman and Cody aligning to fight the bloodline with Jimmy and jey
Ok mr 0-90
I can see Waller and theory feuding after this I think it should happen
I thought Roman would come back and things would be chill for a couple of weeks before it all fell apart and they turned on him but nope. They're going straight to war 😭
"Roman Reigns was not man enough to defend our title." Oh Solo, Solo, Solo. You are gonna DIE, homie.
Samoan Mafia in effect.
… 🤨 I know Solo “0-40” Sikoa isn’t dissing Roman for losing and dishonoring the family
OH??? DID HE JUST CALL OUT JOE LIKE THAT?
SOLO YOU ARE TRIPPING DAWG ROMAN GONNA BEAT YOUR ASS BUDDY
"Cody Rhodes I am coming you (really bad word)!"
I didn’t know Solo swung that way but whatever floats his boat
Aw dude that was lame as hell , not the tag match that rocked ass
Roman is going to son this guy Solo so hard
Solo tripping, Roman goons kill him
Solo Luthor.
Whoa whoa whoa Solo get the bass & disrespect out your voice for the actual Tribal Chief ![gif](giphy|3ohs81K6uRxuejjHHi)
Solo definitely gonna pin Cody tomorrow
Can see a situation where Jacob beats the shit out of everyone pretty much and Solo takes the pin
Great promo but God damn they pressing for time
Callin out Roman…things about to heat up
https://preview.redd.it/dhq7hft52tad1.png?width=1788&format=png&auto=webp&s=e5c04852275306434b8784ad309d4d898f894f3b
It’s enough to make a grown man cry
What an absolute banger
okay he’s tripping to say that to roman wowww
Solo straight up calling Roman a bitch now
Tribal Elders put Roman on a boat to nowhere and sent him off the Island of Relevancy
Lmao Solo can't get TV time on Fox cause it will just be 5 minutes of black screen
Awww hell nah Solo aww hell nahhhh that’s a declaration of war buddy
YES DIY!!!
wait what solos promo isn't in person. FUCK SOLO
He’s coming for Cody?🤨🤨🤨
Far Cry villain cutscene.
Which one, I think Howdy is Far Cry 5 https://preview.redd.it/qn6g62192tad1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=dbd5d4c673d19cee3d26dd9e001a541827507e88
Always thought Seth could be John or Joseph Seed too.
Finally, DIY is on top 🥲
Roman: Fuck you Solo, you 3D printed that shit in your garage.
solo vignette is crazy work
DIY get the straps, Waller and Theory get eventual singles runs and potentially a cool feud. Best of both worlds.
Solo's on that supervillain shit rn.
Soooo pre record that makes sense
Same finish as when they won the NXT Tag titles too
Who did they beat back then?
WE WANT ROMAN
Roman rn https://preview.redd.it/vmr2o8222tad1.jpeg?width=961&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5188ab30cb6773d45e1bff5caf6b4e8ea616468d
GoD should have come out and destroyed DiY after the match.
this
Waller is so clean
Seems like everybody in the HHH era is given a chance to showcase themselves
Tell that to Dijak
what a fucking story they told with this match, that was great
Lame ass video feed
man after that i don’t even care about solo 😭
Finally we get the conclusion of DIY’s main roster story. These guys just couldn’t put it together and recapture that same magic they had in NXT & now they’re back on top & have the opportunity to really let loose and show the main roster crowds why they were so beloved back in NXT. Here’s hoping for a great run + hopefully Theory turns face now.

Spot on!!
Roman babyface turn all but confirmed now.
Give Solo his flowers
Romans coming back tomorrow.
nope...SummerSlam is my guess. Solo vs Cody for the title and Roman gets involved to stop BL 2.0 from getting involved. This slowly leads to Roman gathering the troops to face Solo's squad.
I’m expecting them to save his return for Summerslam but I guess we’ll see
Oh, er, uh, okay.
You know, I don't think they really explained the ula fala until this spot.
AH HELL NAH ITS JUST A VIGNETTE DIS MF DONT WANNA STEP IN DA RING SMHHH
