My boy going to be tag champ unless there's an interference. I thought he was ok in G.O.D but Tama Tonga is way better. Might of had a confidence knock, but he does not look happy at all at the back of the new bloodline . Jacob in that match just showed why he could do that on his own never mind in a tag team. He has it all especially the facial expressions of being unhinged , have you seen his finisher the way he just bounces up from middle corner rope to top and it the best reverse moonsault I've ever seen.plus he does the flying headbutt sault ( like benoit did ) he's definitely going to be in WWE a long time and I predict he will be world champion. Not solo, Tama or one eyed Tonga.
Plus he knows this his one shot at big time money .

FFS he's been in jail for armed robbery, hunter let the shackles loose after Vince wouldn't sign him. I seen him in MLW years ago and thought he is way above this level. Been my favourite wrestler since he can be a face too as shown in MLW after he had been heavyweight champ, he was open weight champ and he was good at that . He's been blessed with the Fatu gene where wrestling Is in your blood and I'm also going to go out on a limb and say he's Romans inside man. If I'm wrong Ill say on here I'm wrong when it happens won't be summerslam but after just before survivor series.

And I'm biased as he's my favourite wrestler but I can't put it on as he's not on who's your favourite wrestler list.

Sorry to DIY fans but if you think they're keeping those titles ,.maybe the interference will lead to them having a match at summerslam but who knows let's just enjoy WWE as it's got wrestling back in it , storylines are good and we as fans are getting the best version of WWE in a long, long time.

Idk why they’d bring him in if they thought he was so bad that he can’t even wrestle.
Probably as Jacob needed to lose a bit weight and tone up as he has he's dropped a lot of weight he was there to make up the numbers.

From what I seen of Hikeleou on AEW he's tall but wasn't anything special.

Solo going to eat those words when we see the tribal chief do the oooaaahhhh and spear the wind out out his sails, showing Cody respect and turning face. But I think especially after the promo in seen yesterday off Cody I think he's going to turn heel soon, especially if Roman comes back. Who knows that's what's making WWE must see TV again. I've not felt like this since the Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression era ( till Eddie died ) and I stopped watching.

The Bloodline is like if Hogan, Hall, Nash, and Bischoff all left the nWo and Scott Norton became a main eventer.

Meh if Solo is one of the "lesser" members of the nWo he'd be Syxx. The lil brother of the 2nd/3rd biggest names in the group.

Insane that it has to be this subtle but I don't think there's any way it's a coincidence, you don't just pick this tie lol
