"He came back at the right time" - WWE Hall of Famer comments on Cody Rhodes and The Bloodline (Exclusive)
Teddy Long recently lavished praise on The Bloodline's storyline in WWE and mentioned how Cody Rhodes returned from his injury at just the right juncture.
It's safe to say there hasn't been a more compelling long-term narrative than The Bloodline saga in a very long time in professional wrestling. Not only has everyone involved in the story been elevated to unforeseen levels, but the number of twists and turns have kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Things could finally begin to tumble for the stable at WrestleMania 39, where both The Usos and Roman Reigns are in danger of losing their titles. While Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will challenge Jey and Jimmy Uso for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship, Reigns will defend his Undisputed Universal Championship against Cody.
On Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Teddy Long stated that The Bloodline's storyline was one of the "hottest" in recent times. He singled out Sami Zayn's work as part of the angle. Long also mentioned how Cody Rhodes mounted his comeback from injury at the right time.
"I think that's one of the hottest storylines in professional wrestling, and I think that's gonna really draw Sami Zayn; god bless him, he's doing a fantastic job. The Usos, all of those guys, that's a great storyline. And for Cody Rhodes to come back from an injury, and he came back at the right time. So I think that's gonna be exciting," said Long.
