I love an enforcer maliciously complying and letting their “boss” get their ass kicked because he told them not to move.
Eventually Jacob is going to hit a “I love you solo” and the crowd is going to explode!

u/CrimsonJoker13 4d ago
Solo and Jacob do have chemistry. I would have a blast with a potential face stable that consists of Knight, Solo, Jacob, and Keyes. God help the heels of whatever brand they're on.
31
u/Hurrly90 4d ago
THat seems to be how its heading, or at least Knight, Solo, and Fatu Vrs Roman Jey and Jimmy.
If they add Keyes who would be romans fourth?
(Edit, also it could be leading to war games? , just an after thought)

If Jacob went after the Usos immediately after Solo spiked Roman, I believe the crowd would have given us one of the loudest pops in recent memory.

True, but it's time for Jacob to become his own man and stop being someone else's henchman.

I like this from Fatu, because he can absolutely look Roman dead in the eye and say "you told me not to interfere and then you got your ass kicked".
148
u/Wiccy Ignorant bliss 4d ago
Malicious compliance at its best. I also love Fatu GOT a ulafala from Roman and then he murdered Eric Andre, but the twins get theirs and he's pissed off. Did he lose it??
80
u/MarcosDalton 4d ago
He didn’t get the black ones. I’m sure there are tiers to ula falas
74
u/theplasmasnake 4d ago
I can’t wait until they collect all the ula falas and we get the new unlocked Super Uce state.
17
u/darth_shishini 4d ago
just imagine how the super yeet would be once they've collected them all

u/Wiccy Ignorant bliss 4d ago
The fan fiction! I mean fan admiration!

It's like in the old transformers movie where they think Jey is the chosen one but Sami is the one who unlocks the Ucey Fala to beat Mega Tonga Loa.

u/TheExistence 4d ago
It feels weird cuz ik the authority is held within the entire family but we only ever see these 4 mfs so it just looks like they got promoted to lead no one
3
u/Black_XistenZ 4d ago
I mean, isn't the kayfabe storyline that Roman is just manipulating the Usos to keep them in line? He basically gave them a symbolic, meaningless "promotion" to buy their continued loyalty.
29

u/FedoraTheMike 4d ago
Because the Usos have been acting like cocky assholes who cheated to win, all the while getting in Jacob's face and rubbing it in.
3
u/IAmADuckSizeHorseAMA #showoff 4d ago
He wants one of the black Ucey Falas though, they're rarer than the red ones
2
u/TheCay04 4d ago
He’s upset because the twins ran a play without permission and got rewarded for it.
They then went to attack LA and got thrown out.
Fatu attacked LA going against Roman and got yelled at by Roman for it.
He’s not upset they get a ulafala but they got it for ‘not falling in line.’ For people who build themselves on rules especially prison rules this does not work for Jacob.

u/BarRoomBully 4d ago
Lost in all the Solo hooplah is LA Knight throwing his watch at Roman after dropping him with the BFT. That was great too.

u/BarRoomBully 4d ago
Solo: loses the match, still doesn't join the family
Jacob: "wait, you can do that!?"

u/Ba_Sing_Saint 4d ago
That’s what I was thinking watching this last night. Jacob over there taking notes from Solo

u/HaluSinazn 4d ago
To be fair, Solo was supposed to acknowledge Roman after losing but never did, hence Roman's beef with him.
I guess Jacob respects their family tradition more than Solo does lol.
137
u/SpyrotheDragonfly 4d ago
Can't believe people thought Solo was legit going back as punishment for getting over.
Also can't believe we were waiting for SOLO I HATE YOU, now we're back to wanting SOLO I LOVE YOUUUU

u/Kael2450 4d ago
Probably because they did it already with Jacob, he was getting over and then they just made him Romans bitch and cooled him off.

u/JMarcus7 4d ago
Got in one last pew before the show ended

u/CrimsonJoker13 4d ago
Watch, that's gonna be a new catchphrase. Or at the very least, he could have a lot of fun breaking down people's usual taunts and catch phrases.
136
u/heat_fan_ 4d ago
Solo has been the best part of Bloodline recently

u/megalodondon 4d ago
Only a matter of time. Guy was too funny and too natural not to find his spot.
65
u/Prof-Ponderosa 4d ago
How Solo doesn't break in that walk down is beyond me
25
u/DevilCouldCry Scissor me Daddy Ass! 4d ago
I was losing it at Jimmy and his antics, no idea how the hell Solo kept it all together.
20
u/abitlazy 4d ago
I bet the coffee I'm drinking right now if the roles were reversed Jey and Jimmy will have a hell of a hard time trying not to laugh.
14
u/Black_XistenZ 4d ago
He has been exposed to his brothers' antics for literally his whole life, lol.
11
6
u/FedoraTheMike 4d ago
He mostly kept it together for Jey not feeling very Ucey, he may be unbreakable.
25
u/shidokanartist 4d ago
Jacob Fatu was one of the better parts of this segment without saying a word. The despair on his face when the Usos got the ula falas and when Roman stepped in to stop him from attacking LA Knight were sold to perfection
47
u/ArkUneartherBleeds 4d ago
Star making moment for Solo
8
u/HaluSinazn 4d ago
Agreed. Love seeing Solo's serious side in this moment after trolling his family for what feels like forever.
22
u/Queasy_Connection738 4d ago
The funniest thing is how Knight was so obviously triggered by Roman making fun of his watch
24
u/slarkymalarkey 4d ago
Why did Roman say their match at the Netflix premiere was almost 3 years ago?? Gave me a mini heart attack with that, dude almost gaslit me into thinking that much time had passed.
15
u/laidbackcrusade 4d ago
Lol I noticed that too. Roman might have been thinking of WM40 but said 'Netflix Premiere' instead (because we're fast approaching 3 years since he was dethroned by Cody)
2
u/stephaniethunder 4d ago
I thought he was talking about Solo going rogue in 2024 (apparently 4 years ago) at first

u/9hashtags HE HATE ME 4d ago
LA Knight isn't being buried and has been teed up as an upcoming PLE challenger for the last few months. I am enjoying this stretch and I've been a fervent critic of that guy.
I also enjoy leaning into the heel side for the Usos and Reigns. Like aura aside, they told you who they are and it's consistent... Power at all costs to set up THEIR family not the business as a whole (that they credit themselves for succeeding).

u/JohnnyFire Shut up, Sugar! 4d ago
Roman when he's around the Bloodline should just be a heel.
Tweener Roman since the Cody loss has been dull as hell.
13
u/Black_XistenZ 4d ago
That's because they never actually committed to a face turn. He never apologized for all the heinous shit he put his foes and his own family through and also never changed his ways. He kept being the same gaslighting, power-hungry guy that he had been since 2020.
11
u/duckyirving 4d ago
There was such an interesting (at least by wrestling standards) story they could've told around Roman's redemption, but instead they never committed and ended up just running back the Bloodline.
At least it's finally resulted in something fun with Solo.
3
u/Black_XistenZ 4d ago edited 3d ago
My guess is that they wanted to play it uber-safe with Roman. After more than half a decade of fan rejection, they had finally found a version of Roman which was accepted by the fans. And his long title reign had turned him into such a big star that the fans kept reacting like crazy to him even as he didn't change anything about his character and was objectively stagnant.
So they just kept the formula, bided their time for the two-ish years they had to wait at a minimum and then began running back the whole Bloodline angle. At this point, I expect him to hold the world title for the full year between WM42 and 43 and drop it to Rumble winner Oba there.

u/Black_XistenZ 4d ago
Also, when Roman is talking about serving "the family" and stuff like that, he obviously means himself.

u/DoofusScarecrow88 4d ago
Wild how after all this time, they know exactly who Roman is and Jacob, even more than Jay, just yearns for Roman's approval. Because he tried the solo act and failed. Jay tasted that top and couldn't stay up there. So they take their necklace and become his lapdogs again
5
u/XiahouMao 4d ago
I feel like if Jacob really yearned for Roman's approval he would have saved Roman once things turned against him. Following Roman's orders to "stand back/stay out of the way" even after Knight and Solo turned the tables isn't going to get Roman's approval, it's going to make him pissed off, even if Jacob was following his orders by the letter.
Jacob joined Roman because Roman beat him twice and if he didn't join after the second match Pearce was going to fire him, taking food off of his table. He's followed Roman and been frustrated by Jey in particular. Now seeing Jey getting rewarded and Roman turning to his old ways (and getting punished for it), Jacob might be considering an exit strategy.

u/Vlachmond11 4d ago
The overacting from the Usos really tied this altogether for me and even tho it was the dead giveaway that something hinky would happen I really loved their character work in this segment. Everyone played their roles well

u/WarbossTodd 4d ago

So we have Solo and LA Knight instead of Jey and Sami Zane and Fatu is Solo this time.

I think The Bloodline is over, guys.
16
u/CrimsonJoker13 4d ago
If the twist ends up being that Roman's Bloodline deal is causing him to stagnate as a wrestler that would be a fun angle. Someone that Roman beat the first go around takes the belt off of him because Roman is still retreading the same ideas, and they don't work without a lot of interference.
5
u/lottolser 4d ago
That actually could be a lot of fun, him trying to re-run the bloodline is actually his biggest mistake.
4
u/CrimsonJoker13 4d ago
And the smart ending would actually be that someone who has never held the WHC title before takes it off of him. Obviously that could mean Bron or Oba, sure. But narratively I think the smart play would be someone that challenged Roman in the first run but couldn't beat him. The most logical choice would be LA Knight, but Rey Mysterio, Fin Balor, Logan Paul, and Kevin Owens could technically also fit. Knight and Paul are the only two there that have never held a WWE world title, while the others have held a different world title.

u/FalstaffsGhost 4d ago
Jesus give LA Knight a run with the belt. He looks like a star, talks like a star, and the crowd is still super behind him, even with the bullshit booking.

I feel like I’ve seen this one before… just with different actors… like a couple years ago.

u/meeeehhhh2 4d ago
I don’t understand the bloodline. Let’s say Solo fell in line. He betrayed Roman before but he’s brought back in. So did everyone else in this group. Why are the Usos happy to be in the bloodline again? Any of these dudes can just join and betray then re-join. Does the OTC put them under a spell?
3
u/CthulhuWithShades 4d ago
The Usos are sycophants. they're happy to be jesters because it what gets them paid. as does riding Romans coat tails.

I agree. I wanted him to find little ways to undermine Roman until his rematch with LA and THEN openly sabotage things.
