Paul Heyman Doesn't Think The Bloodline WWE Storyline Is Even In The Third Inning Yet

There are lots of things still to explore, according to Heyman.

The saga of The Bloodline has been one of the dominant storylines on WWE television for the past several years. One of the players in the storyline, Paul Heyman, believes the storyline still has a lot of mileage left in it, however. 

Speaking about the storyline with Sam Roberts at Fanatics Fest NYC this past weekend, Heyman said: 

"I could not imagine someone coming in in this era and saying, 'Yeah, I've seen enough of The Bloodline. Enough of them. That's alright, Roman, thanks a lot, see you later!'.

"Some people tried to rail me over the coals last year like, 'Oh, Paul Heyman said they're only in the third inning, what a jerkoff Paul Heyman is!'. I got news for you, I don't even think we're in the third inning yet and now that you see the emergence of Solo and Jacob Fatu and the Tongans and the fact that they are a real threat, the first time a real threat to Roman Reigns' dominance, to Roman Reigns' sitting at the head of the table, to Roman Reigns being the top star, to Roman Reigns actually being the Tribal Chief. How many stories can we tell from the position that we're in now?.

"You don't know what Jimmy Uso's stance on this is. You don't know (where) Jey Uso stands on this. You don't know if or when the Wise Man will return. You don't know who else Solo may or may not have in his back pocket ready to debut. You don’t know what our moves, what Roman Reigns' moves, what my moves, what anybody's moves can be. All you know is that Roman Reigns is back, he's back to reclaim the title of Tribal Chief from Solo and Solo has so much backup right now.

"I can't imagine someone coming into power in this company and saying we've told the entire story of The Bloodline. I see someone coming into power and saying, 'Oh my God, look what I get to play with now'".

If the storyline is only in the second inning, this would suggest the programme will go on for another 14 years if it continues at the current pace.  

Heyman was written off WWE television when The Bloodline turned on him and powerbombed him through the announce table on the June 28 edition of SmackDown. 

A recent report suggested that the main event of this year's Survivor Series will see the latest incarnation of The Bloodline take on a group led by Roman Reigns in a WarGames match.
