    When Cody was strung up in that crucifixion pose one of my friends commented "Cross Rhodes"

    For the A-Town Down Under storyline, Simon forgot the most important part. Waller saw Fatu's attack coming and decided to run, rather than warn Austin or stand by his side.

    Yo, the way the bloodline executed Randy Orton and crucified Cody Rhodes after Jacob Fatu destroyed DIY by himself was brutal. Mia Yim needs to start winning some matches because they always make her lose. Austin Theory and Grayson Waller should get one more rematch for the tag team titles at summer slam and that's when they break up. LA Knight should definitely beat Logan Paul at summer slam.

    While Nia's in ring improvement and character work deserves a world title run (and I wouldn't be against it especially with the Tiffany dynamic Simon suggested) but Bayley having a gimmic of beating the odds - off those 2 this time, Damage CTRL last time - feels like an mature version of the ultimate underdog hugger character.

    It's really sickening how they're treating LA Knight. Like I stated almost a year ago, he's being handled like another Dolph Ziggler. They know he gets an audience pop, so they're giving him a bone here and there. But this is not at all how the rising Stone Cold nor Rock were treated. It's almost as if WWE Creative is annoyed that LA is an audience made star and not someone they molded into one (like Cena and Reigns) with their horrible writing and character choices.

    Jacob Fatu should be the tribal chief. Solo feels too forced imo. Also we hardly see the Tongans. Idk this Bloodline just feels too forced. The only one who legitimately feels like a threat is Jacob Fatu. Oh but don’t worry we’ll end every Bloodline segment at the end of the show with them jumping people and throwing them through a table. It’s predictable and boring.

    Things that make no sense in wrestling logic (but only make sense in wrestling logic, I guess). So, Cody and Randy Orton get beaten up by the BL, yet what happened to DIY? Did they die? Did they suddenly get swept up in the clouds like Elijah from the Old Testament? They can wrestle a 10-15 minute match and kickout of 1,678 finishers in a row, but Lord forbid they get beat up for less than a minute by one person from the BL and they just vanished, offering ZERO help to Cody and Randy. Make it make sense.
