Wrestling veteran discusses why Roman Reigns' feud with The Usos is a "masterclass" in storytelling
Wrestling veteran Konnan recently spoke about how the Bloodline saga involving Roman Reigns and his cousins is one of WWE's best storylines in history.
The Bloodline came crashing down when Jimmy and Jey Uso Superkicked the Tribal Chief and Solo Sikoa. WWE made the breakup official as they announced that a Civil War would be waged at Money in the Bank 2023, where the Usos will collide with Roman and Solo in a tag team match.
On a recent episode of Keepin' It 100, Konnan detailed how the Bloodline storyline has been going for three years, and there is still more to it. He claimed that the dialogues during the promos were compelling, making it a "masterclass" in storytelling.
"This was incredible. This has been three years of buildup and this has been a masterclass of storytelling that still ain't done. The verbiage is great, 'The problem is not your brother, it's your cousin. It took ten years to get here, you've been in WrestleMania ever since.' The Tribal Chief, I love when he goes, 'You're meant to lead, just not yet.' At the end, he goes, 'You're out, and I'm out too.' And then bang! Then they hit Solo, then they hit him again," said Konnan.
He continued and praised Jimmy and Jey Uso:
"They both sold beautifully, this was great. They pulled up the ones and the people were with them. They're red hot babyfaces." [From 4:14 - 5:17]
