After Roman Reigns seemingly stepped back following WWE WrestleMania 40, The Bloodline’s narrative has shifted, sparking speculation about what lies ahead for the stable. Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell recently offered his insights into the potential trajectory of the group in the coming months.
With Roman’s absence, Solo Sikoa appears to have stepped up to assert his authority within The Bloodline. The addition of Tama Tonga and the exclusion of Jimmy Uso suggest significant plans for the faction moving forward.
According to Mantell, the upcoming storyline involving The Bloodline is poised to charm audiences much like before. In an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s SmackTalk, he remarked:
“That’s the essence of wrestling. We’re about to witness, as Paul Harvey would say, ‘the rest of the story.’ Over the next six months, the narrative will unfold, offering an enjoyable viewing experience. And if you’re watching with a devoted wrestling fan, you might hear, ‘I told you so,’ countless times. It’s called telegraphing, and when done right, it enhances the anticipation.” [2:10 onwards]
Mantell also speculated about Paul Heyman’s role within The Bloodline’s storyline. In another segment of SmackTalk, he mused:
“It raises questions. Where is this heading?… Let’s wait and see how it unfolds. As a fan, you want to be kept guessing. There could be numerous outcomes, but one thing’s for sure: Paul Heyman will be at the heart of it, making for intriguing viewing. That’s what keeps people coming back for more.” [53:00 – 54:00]
As the story progresses, fans eagerly anticipate whether Mantell’s foresight aligns with WWE’s creative direction.
