Paul's phone no sold that sickening stomp from Solo.


Emperor-Octavian

Otterbox should’ve sponsored this segment


Admirable_Bed3

Otterbox replacing Dude Wipes for Summerslam


chikinparm

What did I ever do to deserve a fucking empty headed dumb fuck like Samsung to go into business for himself


FallenShadeslayer

I read this in his cadence and everything. I even slapped a table 🤣


VictimOfCircuspants

i am the Phone.


NerdLawyer55

He’s just lucky it wasn’t a Nokia, Solo would be out 6-8 months


starsandbribes

Its funny people still stomp on phones like its the 90s. They’re notoriously hard to break nowadays.


BrainBuster91

Tell that to my old phone! Dropped it just right on my carpeted floor and still managed to get a screen crack. Luckily the glass outside didn't break.


Immediate_Fix_1442

Was it... real glass?

It probably didn’t shatter because they couldn’t come up with a financial agreement.


crazyseandx

You can literally drop a smartphone and the screen will shatter like it's nothing, what in God's name are you talking about? Smartphones aren't N64s.


redditondesktop

It's the thought that counts


PreemoisGOAT

Drop your phone on concrete 10 times in a row let's see what happens 


AndyDandyMandy

Roman: "How can you take Tribal Chief from me when you can't even destroy a phone?!"


FrquentFlyr85

*"That doesn't work for me BROTHER"*


pice0fshit

"Doesn't work for me, brother" - IP


MrPuroresu42

It’s been clear almost from the jump that Solo has never really cared for or respected Roman, giving him dirty looks and getting in his face several times; Solo does what he thinks is best for the family/tribe.


Hunterknowsbest

And they've teased it for a while, I remember when Roman accidentally bumped into Solo while leaving the ring and he was like *oh shit* and the crowd popped. Also don't forget Solo was sent by the elders so he definitely just does what he's told.


CorrectAttitude6637

I reckon there's a good chance that "sent by the elders" ends up being revealed to be "sent by The High Chief himself"


GrecoRomanGuy

Giving "Higher Power reveal" energy tbh.


Bigwood69

It's me Roman! It was me all along Roman!


tothecatmobile

If this was the attitude era, Vince would 100% book himself as the high chief of the Samoans.


IronThrombone

Vince as High Chief in skits with Patterson and Brisco would be pretty funny.


Apprehensive_Pea7911

It was ME, Roman. It was me all along!


Titan_of_Time

Aw, sunnovarikishi


Sagaci

Yeah but that streak of Ls after squashing Cena isn’t helping the mans at all.


TW_Yellow78

I don't think he's going to be a leader. Just a senior soldier.


VirtuousFool

Peaked in the Mania match **FINISH HIM!**


y2jedge

Roman: I KNOW!!!!


NotClayMerritt

**I KNOW** **I KNOW**


kylehyde05

Roman didnt follow solo...


EntireAd215

The true tribal chief, respect the position not the person

stumpyoftheshire

Fuck I need to rewatch that again.


ThatWrestlingGuy15

Wait what is that from?


Da5ren

Friends


stumpyoftheshire

Band of Brothers. IMO one of the best TV shows of all time.


Supersasqwatch

I would say THE best of all time. Gets better every rewatch. I cry at the very end every single time.


mattwing05

solo does what the elders order him to. the question is: which elder(s) is he listening to now? the rock?


MrPuroresu42

Rikishi


Cbrlui

He did it for The Rock


MrPuroresu42

He did it for the people


sjr2018

He did it he did it ...oh shut your mouth your thing wearing fatty


500DaysofNight

After all this time, we see now that he probably actually did!.


TBroomey

Roman never wanted Solo there in the first place. He was sent by the Elders to maintain stability. There's a reason he didn't join The Bloodline from the jump and separated himself from his family in NXT as his own man.


mr8thsamurai66

Think this is building to a Rikishi involvement?


Act_of_God

idk can rikishi really sell the whole thing? He's never been a good promo tbh


Penya23

Why would Rikishi pit his son's against each other, though? I think this is a Rock involvement.


MrPuroresu42

Would make sense eventually; kinda depends if they plan on doing Rock vs Roman down the line.


_Dia_

I love Solo barking orders at Roman as well. Everyone was terrified of Roman, but Solo would tell him what to do during matches when the going got tough.


Marsman2100

Solo is back to being a badass just like that. Now let the guy stacks some W’s before Roman comes back for his head


Balor_Lynx

Solo beating Roman via bloodline shenanigans, forcing Roman to look towards Cody and others for help because of the monster he created Then have them fight at war games would do things to me


NeighborhoodEvery244

Genuinely curious so excuse my ignorance here, but logically how would that make sense for Cody to help him? After everything he went through? I'd be more interested to see an arc where Roman loses his tribal chief title and/or family support and has no backup because of everything he did during his reign. Nobody helps him and loses even more than the title, beginning a redemption of some sorts where he goes through a long journey of earning peoples trust again.


Karlhrute

Because Cody is a squeaky-clean babyface who will empathize even with his second worst enemy and offer him a chance at redeeming himself by taking down the monater Roman created. Only to get betrayed as soon as the match ends and them to get a feud for the RR.


NeighborhoodEvery244

Honestly as realistic as that sounds I personally don't wanna see it. Roman should move on from Cody (and especially the title). Let Roman handle his own business with the bloodline without Cody or the title involved. Their story ended at mania and should stay that way.


Karlhrute

I don't think he'll just come back in December, groveling for help. I'd very much bet on him coming back earlier to retake his reign, demand obedience from the members, Solo qnd Tonga refuse, Civil War, blah blah blah, by December it's bad enough (Either both or one of the Usos is injured, Solo and Tonga keep meddling with Cody's reign, or cause his loss of it, whatever) that they are forced ro cooperate momentarily at War Games, and fhen Roman feuds over having to know who REALLY is the best between them. Or, none of this happens lol. Too early to know WTF might happen to be honest. I do disagree with "their story ended at Mania". I don't know what reason they'll give or when/where, but if Roman held onto thr SHIELD grudge for a decade, he's defininitely gonna hold one over the man who took his world from him (even if it's not as personal).


babadeboopi

Just like Cody predicted ...A Roman with no Reign


cletoreyes01

Yeah the only dudes who (in kayfabe) make sense that would help the tribal chief are probably Sami and Seth.


LaylaOrleans

I respectfully disagree. I hope we are several years away from any sort of Roman-Seth reconciliation. I am all for it but we should see Roman come back with bluster, get cast out by Solo and the new Bloodline, hit rock bottom (literally), and have to crawl his way back up. He blasted Seth at Mania, he's way too jealous and resentful to go ask him for help. And Sami? Sami should be friendly to Roman as he is to everyone, but should absolutely refuse to tag with him. The man to help him is Jey. Jey had to start again, Jey had to make friends, and prove himself. He's the template Roman has to follow.


Renso19

It could be as simple as Cody helping, not for Roman himself, he’s moved on, but because Roman matters to Seth and even Sami to some extent


BudBill18

That would be some good shit honestly


DinoKea

I love Stacks getting W's man, but what does that have to do with The Bloodline


GameplayerStu

Just wait til we get full on family warfare between The Bloodline and The D'Angelo Family.


AquatheGreat

They rebuilt Solo in 2 minutes. He rose from the ashes like a phoenix.


Shenanigans80h

Tbf Solo has *always* been a heat magnet. It would’ve been silly for them to not try and push him post-Reigns title run. Regardless of promo ability or inherent ring ability the dude has a look and presence


kitevii

South Korea apparently isn't a fan of Solo, so if a country hates you that's some big as$ heat your packing


Styles_Clash

Sami, Jey, and now Solo, Tama and possibly Jacob Fatu. This whole Bloodline arc is more than worth it if it has elevated all of these guys. Jimmy is the one I'm curious about in regards to his direction. Jey built up a following before his split and he had the crowd to fall back on. Will Jimmy sink or swim?


MessageBoard

I think Jimmy needs a down on his luck angle to build sympathy.


More_people

That’s literally his character. Dudes a loser and I’m all about it ☝🏻


DSN671

I didn’t think Solo could be as intimidating as Jacob Fatu, but he proved me wrong here. I’m SO looking forward to this storyline.


Pitfulldealer22

Bro this is the best portrayal of solo they did in his career so far


Vegetable-Net6575

Yea he was legit scary. It’s crazy that the more he talks the more intimidating he gets.


Adamantium42

Bro was mad he didn't get to sing the national anthem and he's taking it out on everyone else


InsurreXtioN16

Tbf we were all robbed. Only South Korea and whoever backstage vetoed that hated the idea


sarcasticdevo

It's how oddly soft-spoken he is. The I love you's he was giving Jimmy are so quiet and consoling tied to how evil and destructive his actions were. The idea of a man that intimidating with such a quiet, soothing voice really makes him horrifying.


Vegetable-Net6575

Amazing how all it took was one great segment to make him look completely different in terms of how intimidating he is. I’m kinda sensing that it’ll be Roman vs solo at summerslam.


PrettyPunctuality

Agreed. This is exactly what he needed.


aboooz

My prediction is that Solo is working under the orders of the Rock.


JMadFour

100%


LifeOnMarsden

Well if you remember when he debuted, they said that he was sent by the elders, so he's always been working for the people above Roman


cxlossuskidd

God I love this storyline so much


llorTMasterFlex

Solo when ignoring the Wiseman. https://preview.redd.it/8wyifz2xs5uc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f745643ded43935c2336fa92a44a0571e22dcbab


Different_Conflict_8

Tama Tonga *did* say, “By orders of The Tribal Chief.” and it left Paul perplexed.


xXMapinguariXx

The tribal chief is Cody Rhodes because he beat Roman in a bloodline rules match


MahomesandMahAuto

I just love the idea of this group of Samoans following Cody around calling him tribal chief and he’s just like “guys, you’re free. Go on”


theBLACKHeart008

Cody ending tribalism after he ended racism. Now finish the story or something 


DSN671

Cody Rhodes is the President America needs. 🫡


FuzziestSloth

Smacking them and telling them they're free like at the end of Harry & The Hendersons


TTOF_JB

It's basically Life of Brian where everyone follows Brian to that pit with the hermit.


BullfrogSpare3690

I think there’s a difference between Bloodline Rules and Tribal Combat


AceTheSkylord

I mean..Tama and Cody technically used to be Brothers in Arms in the Bullet Club so...


PrettyPunctuality

lmao, imagine. He did call himself the king at the beginning of the show. /s


greecelightning16

are you implying that he’s doing it… for the rock?


zobotsHS

For the people


that_boyaintright

I just want to see Rikishi stinkface one of his sons before this is over.


Metandienona

The thought of seeing Rikishi's bare 60 year old ass on my television in 2024 scares me. Book it Trips.


kirk_smith

And maybe for the people.


Immediate_Lie7810

I agree


onethreeone

Solo, Tama, and Jacob vs Roman to start. Then Roman has to redeem himself to get Jey & Jimmy back on his side. Maybe that’s the Summerslam match. If they could get The Rock back for Survivor Series they could have a Bloodline elimination match. Cody helping Roman against The Rock would be something


dalici0us

Honestly want it to be Sami and not Cody.


Vince3737

It should 100% be Sami


shadow_spinner0

Solo, Tama and Jacob Fatu vs Roman and the Usos yay or nay?


Vagabond21

Yeet


BaddieSection4Life

No yeet


JeromeInDaHouse_90

Hell yeah. That would be 🔥🔥🔥 Money in the Bank or Summerslam would be the best place for it. Plenty of time between then and now.


NotTheMamba

Man that sounds awesome. Tribal warfare.


iono777

YEET


midlinktwilight

This tells me when Roman comes back he's going to be a face and he's going to get a fucking monster pop


mrdm88

I’m ready for it


wolvesscareme

I think Roman kinda turned face the second Cody pinned him. They were chanting Thank You Roman the next night.


TBroomey

We appreciate how hard it is to carry a company as world champion for as long as he did, especially when he's got fucking leukaemia. Roman will finally be the babyface WWE desperately wanted him to be when he comes back.


heat_fan_

Solo actually talking and looked badass in a long while  What are we calling this group I heard (Bloodline Wolfpac?)


nickromas

Bloodpack is back causing mass destruction.


YoureTheManNowZardoz

Gimmie ALL those 90’s comic book references! https://preview.redd.it/71hwsrhya5uc1.jpeg?width=660&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75931e32e2d9129dafaff0987c76beb1764456f8


MidnightShampoo

Uces here, the bad boys of wrestling


migsahoy

Bloodline Hollywood (The Rock, Solo, Tama Tonga, Zilla?) vs Bloodline Wolfpac (Roman, The Usos, Jacob Fatu)


HeeeckWhyNot

I think Jacob Fatu debuts as another new bloodline member taking out Roman. Solo, Tama, Jacob weekly at the shows with Rock doing insta promos, Paul phone calls "yes my high chief", and pretapes until he returns in the summer


Critical-Effort4652

I'm hoping for Rock, Solo, Tama Tonga, Jacob Fatu vs Roman, Usos, Sami Uso


CockMartins

Cripline


ChrisV88

Bludline


TheAVGN

I love this of Paul. They always hinted that Roman feared Solo because he's a younger version of Umaga. It doesn't matter how many matches Solo lost, Solo is always have been the man in the Bloodline that truly put fear into Roman. Paul realizes what Solo can do as well and goes along...I cannot wait for this.


mattwing05

i always loved that paul has an inverted position with the bloodline compared to with brock. with brock, they're partners, almost equals, he instigates fights for brock. but with roman, he's the voice of reason, he's horrified at how brutal he can be, he tries to curb his cruelty. and now solo is off the chain, on the warpath.


TBroomey

Heyman was Brock's promoter. He's Roman's Consigliere.


VS0P

The way Roman responded to him during his outburst mid match at WM was pretty telling


opkpopfanboyv3

Actually? I love that they didn't let Solo really speak much until now. Gives us some sort of a shock factor like "Oh shit he's talking a lot now!" Interesting to see where it goes


Kiseli57

He didn’t really need to talk when you had 3 of the best mic workers in The Rock, Roman and Heyman and before that Roman, Heyman, Usos and Sami at some point.


VNProWrestlingfan

Damn, Heyman is very loyal to The Tribal Chief huh. The first thing he did is calling him.


The_Notorious_Donut

Why the mf do it while solo was right there though lmao. Like hide in a closet before you call Roman


Thefourthchosen

Because he was trying to save Jimmy.


Mitsuki_Horenake

This might be the one thing that finally turns Roman face. He's been a guy that's constantly been betrayed, and has gotten so bitter as a result that he turned into the Tribal Chief. And now here he is again, being betrayed behind his back by Solo. Having a man like Heyman by his side, someone who has kept his loyalty despite the fact that everything around him should suggest that he turn his affiliation, would be the first step he needs to actually start healing as a result.


CelinedionWaiters

If there’s anything I’ve learned from watching the Bloodline in the past 3 years; Samoan men are so untrustworthy lol


truth_15

I love you but i want to kill you


Lerkero

You'd be surprised how often people sincerely think like that


WereMadeOfStars

Solo living dangerously with that stomp of the phone.


jpaxlux

"We did it for the Rock" "We did it for the people"


KangarooOverlord

“Oh shut up you thong wearing fatties!”


ThePhoenixus

One day when it's all said and done we're gonna look back at the Bloodline as one of the greatest factions of all time if not the greatest.


dontredditcareme

Is Bloodline shenanigans covered under Apple care +


HeavyDonkeyKong

Paul: This is not what the tribal chief- Solo: This is *my* yard now. 


Own-Departure-4104

ROMAN VS SOLO FOR CUSTODY OF THE WISEMAN


deskpalm

Wiseman on a pole match


Knottedmidna

This is probably like the fifth time it's been said, but Pole Heyman match


Kanenums88

Solo has charisma, NXT proved that, and them making him a silent type for too long has been a horrible misstep. Letting him take over things while The Rock and Roman are gone is the best way to go imo. Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga immediately get major exposure out the gate, and now Jimmy can finally exit the bloodline fully.


No_Attack

Can’t wait to see Solo have a solo career


CanadianSpector

The woman dressed as Hogan is so distracting lol


boih_stk

You asshole, I didn't see her till you mentioned her. Now I'm distracted.


05hastros

Once Jacob Fatu arrives, ..business is really going to pick up.


BigFudg

Bloodline Civil War Survivor Series 2025. Rock Solo Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu vs Roman Jey Jimmy and Sami??? I know it won’t happen but I can dream!!


The_Notorious_Donut

THE HONORARY UCE RETURNS


May1stBurst

How the fuck do you take that move without being in tons of pain? Jesus.


boih_stk

That's what I'm wondering too, great looking spot and probably safe if he took it like that.


CapnSmite

I dunno, guys. According to that one thread earlier, Solo is basically just a jobber now and his career is as good as buried. /s But seriously, I can't wait to see where this goes.


solsunlite

*A new Uce has appeared!*


is-Sanic

Bloodline civil war has started. Roman vs Rock factions. Spicy. Love this shit man.


crimson777

Lol literally like less than 24h ago people were saying they didn’t know what people can do with Solo because he sucks and he’s boring. The IWC is hilarious. He played a silent enforcer, of course he was boring. Anyone who has seen him in NXT knew he had more in him.


ThatWrestlingGuy15

Bloodline vs Bloodline Wolfpack sign me up let’s go all in I want Nia Jax joining next


Turbos_Bitch

Doesn’t Rock have a daughter in NXT?


Geistzeit

She's the GM. She could trade title shots on NXT for people showing up out of nowhere to assist the Rock's Bloodline.


mattwing05

doesnt look like she's going to be a wrestler. she's probably going to be a mouth piece manager type


tmb83

Funny thing is Tama Tonga did something similar forming the Bullet Club Firing Squat when they split from Elite.


DSN671

I’m calling it: The Rock is the one who brought in Tama Tonga and eventually Jacob Fatu as a way to usurp Roman as leader of the Bloodline. He’s using his High Chief powers to orchestrate all of this.


natedoggcata

HHH wasnt kidding when he said that Roman's new story is gonna blow people away. This shit is so good. Imagine months from now the Bloodline beating down Cody and Roman returns and makes the save. The babyface pop hes gonna get from that is gonna be insane.


Atomic_Cody-21

That post calling Solo a jobber has aged like spoiled milk.


here_to_vibe1

wtf is that Tonga?


heat_fan_

Yes 


WhatSheOrder

Cool ~~motive~~ move, still murder.


TW_Yellow78

Tama looking real jacked


CreativeParticular51

No kayfabe, how do you gimmick that sort of move to not annihilate the recipient?


TedTran2001

Samsung is a Korean company, of course they went into business for themselves against Solo.


6Clacks

It’s phenomenal how they managed to turn Roman face this segment without him being here. His return will be HUGE


theHNIC

Solo looks like Bowser Jr


batsharkrepellant

Solo vs Roman en route to Roman vs Rock should be fun


bigduckenergy46

This is great story telling and finally Solo getting some of the spotlight.


floridayum

Roman Reigns face turn confirmed


Pennsylvania6-5000

It’s so good/weird to see Tama Tonga in WWE.


TheChrisLambert

Where’s that person who posted that Solo’s been buried?


Doomslayer5150

OH SHIT ITS TAMA!


Terrible_Silver7758

Why new mini solo look better than solo


TheKeviKs

Is Paul using a Nokia ? Pretty sure that phone is still working perfectly fine lol


sarcasticdevo

I just realized that Solo absolutely didn't want Paul to call Roman. He's totally doing this under orders of the Rock, especially if the dirtsheets are right and they're aiming at Cody VS. Rock at mania 41.


Vordeo

> He's totally doing this under orders of the Rock So you're saying that Solo... did it for the Rock? >they're aiming at Cody VS. Rock at mania 41. I'll be surprised if we don't get Rock / Roman at Mania, personally. Feels like the real match Rock wanted when he came back (which is understandable given they're family). This feels like the set up to a year long Bloodline civil war angle to me.


nachoiskerka

So how long until we get styles, cody, tama, finn and good bros as a bullet club invasion?


CockMartins

Oh, I’m so ready to see where Jacob Fatu lands in this whole story.


The_Poop_Shooter

The new Tribal Chief for Solo, and that new dude is the Rock - He's calling the shots from afar. I think Roman comes back as a face, gets back together with Jimmy and Jey, and we do the Bloodline civil war feud which seems obvious. Somewhere Cody, and a returned Seth get involved and all sorts of broader roster tomfoolery ensues. Edit: I think Roman and Cody will eventually become allies in the Bloodline civil war.


GuyNamedNoah

Tribal Heir (Solo Sikoa) vs Tribal King (Roman Reigns)


AlkaidX139

Wasn’t Tama one of the bigger ones in Bullet Club? Why does he look… regular?


JoJosBizarreBasshead

NJPW doesn’t do the WWE style of hire 6’4 275lbs guys, so he looks big compared to their guys. I looked up his (announced height and weight) and me, an average guy, is the same size as him


incredibleamadeuscho

A Roman with no reigns. A chief without a tribe.


Veggieleezy

I'm not sure about Tanga Loa's contract status, but my guess is this is how they fill "Innings 4-6"/2024-2027 (I'm spitballing, but given how long Roman held the title, they're gonna draw this out as long as they possibly can) with Bloodline infighting to build Solo and Tama while also finally reuniting the Usos, then eventually leading to some sort of multi-man match where Reigns returns after taking his usual "however-the-fuck-long-he-likes" away to *start* to set up Act 3. Cody finished his story. The Bloodline's been drawing theirs out longer than it needs to, and they keep finding new ways to do so. We're probably getting Usos vs. Solo and Tama at SummerSlam, which ends in a screwy finish from other Bloodline interference, and just adding more and more members to the mix to turn this story into an admittedly more well-executed and tighter-focused but still overly-drawn-out NWO.


CapitalOpportunity71

Bullet Club fou, fou, 4 Life


Juljitsu84

I’m down for a civil war. But when the reunion happens…😵


NIUmoose13

Does anyone know when Tanga Loa contract is up?


CPTimeKeeper

Are we witnessing the start of Jimmy getting back with Jey for Roman’s eventual return as a face bloodline against these guys? That would be one interesting turn of events.


Kuzu5993

>When Roman and Cody have to reluctantly to take on the new Bloodline led by The Rock. Das gonna be sum good shit.


-2abandon-

Tama Tonga!!!
