"They were sloppy in the same way" - The Bloodline members come under criticism from WWE veteran after SmackDown
Former WWE manager Jim Cornette recently spoke about the power struggle within The Bloodline. These internal disputes led to Solo Sikoa facing Jimmy Uso in a singles encounter on the October 11, edition of SmackDown.
The internal struggle within The Bloodline has reached a peak after Roman Reigns' return. The Original Tribal Chief has been looking to regain control of the faction he once created but has been facing stiff opposition from Solo Sikoa and his associates. However, Roman still has the support of Jimmy Uso.
On a recent episode of the Jim Cornette Experience, the veteran pointed out that during the match, Jimmy and Solo were hitting each other with open-handed punches and claimed it was distracting. Cornette felt that the match was not a technical masterpiece and rather was supported by the underlying storyline.
"Both of these guys, they're brothers and they're both trying to work like all the other Samoans. Every single Samoan is doing those open handed punches like we can't see that they're open hands. Even Jacob is doing it. It drives me to distraction. This was like a guy working with himself. Both worked in the same way. They were sloppy in the same way. The story carried this. It was not what one would call an accomplished technical masterpiece." [From 0:35 - 1:15]
The Bloodline showed up on WWE RAW this week
The main event of Monday Night RAW descended into chaos this past week as The Bloodline appeared on the show. Jey Uso was defending the Intercontinental Championship against Bron Breakker. However, Solo and his henchmen had other plans.
The Tonga brothers attacked Jey after he superkicked Tonga Loa, but he fought them off. RAW General Manager Adam Pearce had Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa escorted out of the arena. But this did not stop Jacob Fatu from planting Jey onto the announcer's table.
Bron Breakker used this opportunity to hit Jey Uso with a vicious Spear and regain the Intercontinental Championship.
