Dutch Mantell makes a bold claim about Endeavor and WWE amid The Bloodline saga's success (Exclusive)

As expected, The Bloodline storyline was the focal point of the latest SmackDown episode as Roman Reigns made his return to a brand he ruled not too long ago. While reviewing the show, Dutch Mantell praised the setup of the Bloodline saga and Endeavor's purchase of WWE.

After Solo Sikoa enjoyed being the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief for months, the original owner of the moniker made his comeback at SummerSlam in the main event.

Reigns was back on SmackDown this week and made it clear that he is back to reclaim his throne as the Tribal Chief. Dutch Mantell loved how WWE had created a story that wrote itself, which meant Triple H and his team didn't need to do anything "outlandish" to prolong the angle for the foreseeable future.

​

"Hey, it writes itself! We can sit here and go all the way till WrestleMania. Two years from now, they're sitting around saying, 'Hey, we just gotta take our time.' They don't need to have these outlandish plans because they have set all this up so beautifully, really." [33:38 - 34:02]

Dutch Mantell highlighted the upswing in WWE's business since Roman Reigns began a generational run with The Bloodline.

Endeavor eventually bought WWE, and Dutch Mantell believes executives in the Ari Emanuel-led company would consider it their best acquisition ever, given how well the pro wrestling product is currently doing under the TKO banner.

​

"Right now, I don't see an end to it. If they don't go nuts and do something really, really stupid, which I don't think they are going to do. I think their business is going to stay like it is, and I think Endeavor will find that this was the best decision they ever made to buy WWE." [34:03 - 34:40]

WWE is showing no signs of slowing down with The Bloodline feud, as the promotion looks to squeeze every last drop out of the long-running epic.
