One of the longest-running storylines in WWE is the one involving The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns and the rest of The Bloodline. Now, the Original Bloodline is going to take on the New Bloodline at this weekend’s edition of the Survivor Series WarGames Premium Live Event inside the devious structure. WWE Hall of Famer JBL recently shared his thoughts on WWE’s current product.
While speaking to Conrad Thompson on the Something to Wrestle podcast, JBL mentioned that WWE is indeed clicking on all cylinders and it’s incredible about what they are doing with all the storylines. He also praised Roman Reigns and the Bloodline for keeping the fans interested on a storyline that’s been going on for over two years.
“The crowd go banana. The crowd go banana. Yeah. I think it does [WWE clicking on all cylinders]. I was looking at some of the WWE stuff. It just… It is so well done right now. It’s really incredible what they’re doing with the stories. And it’s a separate issue but when you talk about action versus drama and motion versus emotion, look at the difference. And not that you have to choose an either-or.
“But what draws more money? Some kind of crazy five-star matches as they would call it or Roman Reigns calling the Wiseman and the phone being disconnected. And all of a sudden you create all this interest. The interest they’ve created with this… This is insane that you have a storyline this long. This thing has been year after year after year. And it’s just as hot now as it was back then. It’s one of the reasons Roman as headlined more WrestleManias than anybody in history. He’s just that talented. And also you have great creative around him,” JBL said.
