Also, context on the two basketball dudes?

One is from New York and one is from Indiana. Obviously the one from NY was the babyface. I wasn’t aware of the Indiana player myself tbh. The New York one though I know and it was cool to see him in person.
Indiana eliminated New York from the NBA playoffs so obviously they wanted to give New York some closure

Guy with Logan Paul is the star player for the team that eliminated the guy that was in the crowd (one of the top players in the league this season and for the team that plays in the arena). Both now have WWE merch too and apparently are long-time fans.

I aint gonna give them credit and say that they planned that way back when. Could be a fun plot to explore for them if needs be though.​

I wouldn't say it was planned exactly to be Solo this whole time but I do think anytime Roman left whoever replaced him was gonna go this route for a big Roman babyface turn. At times they'd even teased Solo turning face before though, that way either way it can be looked back on

Yeah I doubt they thought that far ahead but it is cool that it worked out that way. Just adds an extra wrinkle.

When Jimmy comes back, he can use that to make up with Jey.

I’m intrigued to see how they reintroduce Rock into all of this if they’re going with Solo as the Tribal Chief moving forward

I think Roman could finish up Solo somewhat before Mania and Rock comes back to give the heels more ammo and set up that match between him and Roman finally happening

Right after Mania, Solo would tell Heyman that he was doing things “By order of The Tribal Chief”.

I just assumed he now acknowledged Rock as Tribal Chief once Roman lost.

I’m guessing we get OG Bloodine vs Solo’s Bloodline in War Games. But I’m fuzzy where Rock comes in.

Especially if he goes after Cody like he teased earlier this year

Yeah all signs pointed towards it being Rock/Cody at Mania this year. Even if it's Rock/Roman or Cody/Rock at Mania, I don't see a world where you get the other match happening before hand. Because both those singles matches are such money, they wouldn't think of doing a 3way surely?

Lmao there ain’t no way they thought of that way back when Jimmy was explaining himself. More fan theories running wild.
