"They're utterly milking the cow" - Triple H heavily criticized for major Bloodline decision on WWE RAW
A former WWE manager has criticized Triple H for his booking of The Bloodline last Monday on RAW. Jim Cornette described the first segment of the show as "milking the cow" due to how time-consuming it was for such a simple story to tell.
Main Event Jey Uso opened the show to a lively crowd at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Jey was joined by his twin brother, Jimmy Uso, who confirmed The Usos reunion two weeks ago on WWE SmackDown.
They were interrupted by The Bloodline, who tried to take out Jey and Jimmy. The Usos overcame the numbers game as the segment finished after roughly 20 minutes.
On the latest episode of The Jim Cornette Experience, the wrestling veteran called out the way Triple H and WWE "milked" the segment. He understood that The Bloodline equals money, but they could have done a better job to make it shorter given that RAW was just two hours.
"Jey clocked Jacob in the face with the chair and The Usos cleared the ring and we were nearly 20 minutes into the program by the time that this whole thing resolved itself. That's my comments on that. (…) RAW's only two hours now, but they're still milking. They're utterly milking the cow for everything they get and who can blame them. They're swimming in money, they're building a money bin, a Scrooge McDuck money bin," Cornette said. [3:06 - 4:08]
The Usos reunited with Roman Reigns on SmackDown but failed to beat the new Bloodline at Crown Jewel on Saturday. Sami Zayn helped them after Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and The Tongans attacked the OG Bloodline post-match.
However, it ended with Zayn accidentally hitting Reigns with the Helluva Kick. It will be interesting to see how he explains his actions this Monday on RAW and if Jey backs him up as usual.
Roman Reigns was pinned at WWE Crown Jewel
One of the most surprising parts of the six-man tag team match was how it ended. Roman Reigns, the Original Tribal Chief, was the one who was pinned by Solo Sikoa. It was Reigns' first pinfall loss since WrestleMania 40 and just his second since Money in the Bank 2023.
It now puts Sikoa in the driver's seat for another shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship. However, it could also mean that Reigns might have to acknowledge Sikoa as his Tribal Chief.
The WWE Universe will have to wait for this Friday night to see the outcome of the events at Crown Jewel 2024.
