Where does this storyline go from here after Mania? First, let&#8217;s take a look at what happened in the first week of the New Era after Mania.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Raw After &#8216;Mania<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZOqwZwh4wPo?si=BkG3ERibE_tdarC4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When Cody Rhodes was in the middle of celebrating and talking to the WWE Universe he was interrupted by\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Rock<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. The &#8216;Final Boss&#8217; quickly made things awkward by asking Cody if he could hold his Undisputed WWE Championship. Rhodes relented only if he could hold Rock&#8217;s People&#8217;s Championship. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After that exchange, The Rock gave it back and gave Rhodes a gift, saying to not open it and for Rhodes to &#8216;not break his heart again&#8217;. The Rock also told Rhodes that he would be going away for a little while. This got the whole WWE Universe wondering what The Rock gave to Cody Rhodes. And what&#8217;s next for The Rock? What does this mean for The Bloodline?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Meanwhile, former Bloodline members\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sami Zayn<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jey Uso<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0also had a memorable night. Both men reunited as and congratulated each other over their respected &#8216;Mania moments. Zayn shortly talked to the WWE Universe and talked about beating\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Gunther&#8217;s<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0historic 666 days as WWE Intercontinental Champion. This was the longest reign ever in the title history. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Shortly after in the backstage area Zayn and\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chad Gable<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0agreed to a match for the Intercontinental championship this Monday on\u00a0<\/span><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Raw<\/span><\/em><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Meanwhile, Jey Uso would win the Fatal Four-Way #1 Contender&#8217;s Match to challenge the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Damian Priest<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0at\u00a0<\/span><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WWE Backlash<\/span><\/em><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jey Uso would beat\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ricochet<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bronson Reed<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, and\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Drew McIntyre<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. However,\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Raw\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was not as eventful or surprising for The Bloodline as it was on\u00a0<\/span><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">SmackDown<\/span><\/em><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First SmackDown After &#8216;Mania<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Meanwhile on\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">SmackDown<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Cody Rhodes announced the contenders for Smackdown&#8217;s triple threats matches to see who faces him at\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WWE Backlash<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Then\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Paul Heyman<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Solo Sikoa<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, and\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jimmy Uso<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0walked towards their Bloodline locker room. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, this time there was a big Cody Rhodes American Nightmare logo on the door. Heyman acknowledged to Solo and Jimmy that it&#8217;s the champion&#8217;s locker room and winning and losing matters in WWE. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Heyman pretty much acknowledged Rhodes as champion and respected it much to the disbelief and anger of Solo. Then when Paul Heyman was talking about the Mania outcome and was about to hype up the return of Roman Reigns, Solo stops him. Solo would go on to repeat what Heyman said, that winning and losing matters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Then he hugs Jimmy Uso and turns his back to him as a new Bloodline member is born and attacks Jimmy Uso.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2024\/04\/13\/tama-tonga-debuts-wwe\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tama Tonga<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0made his WWE Debut and seemed to align himself with Solo and The Bloodline. As Heyman watched in disbelief, he tried to call Roman Reigns on his cell phone, but Solo grabbed it and stomped on the phone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Backstage as Heyman is about to talk about what happened to Solo, Tama Tonga and Solo pretty much stare down Heyman to be quiet and join them to have a conversation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Meanwhile next week we are getting a number one contenders match between the two respected winners of their triple threat matches.\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">LA Knight<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0defeated\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Santos Escobar<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0&amp;\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bobby Lashley<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0while\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">AJ Styles<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0defeated\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rey Mysterio<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0&amp;\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Kevin Owens.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Mania rematch between Knight &amp; Styles will determine who will be the number one contender for Rhodes&#8217; Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. As Rhodes awaits his first title defense at Backlash what is going on with the Bloodline?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Who Is The Real Leader of The Bloodline?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As soon as Roman Reigns lost at Mania, the big question was always what would happen to the Bloodline? The Rock is going back to Hollywood for the time being and Roman Reigns is nowhere to be seen. It seems there is a power struggle for the head of the table vacancy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Solo seems to think that since winning and losing matters losing has consequences. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">That is why Solo and Tama Tonga attacked Jimmy who lost to Jey Uso at Mania. This makes you think that Solo is done with Reigns as head of the table for the Bloodline. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But is Solo happy to take that spot or is he following orders from someone else? Let&#8217;s take a brief look at every member and former member of The Bloodline.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Roman Reigns<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3hbxNyILrn0?si=luIyavYtXeBjGbhH\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Let&#8217;s talk with the man who started it all the tribal chief Roman Reigns. He had been champion for nearly four years as he became champion in August of 2020. As the champion he was the leader of the Bloodline to honor his family one of the best Wrestling families in all of Professional Wrestling. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As champion, he would use The Bloodline to help him maintain champion, but now that he lost at Mania Reigns will not be around for quite a while. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Even before losing at Mania, it was well known that Reigns would be taking time off, win or lose, at WrestleMania. It is unclear when he will come back but when he does the Bloodline faction will look a lot different.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Paul Heyman<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mFoQ_H2Pj9U?si=-SUqFkZZ3219kL0d\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If Reigns started the Bloodline, the Wiseman Paul Heyman helped him start it. Heyman has been a part of the Bloodline from the very beginning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He has been the voice of reason and the mic handler of the group. He would make matches and talk to the Raw and Smackdown managers on behalf of The Bloodline business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">No one was more hurt by Reigns losing at Mania than Heyman who screamed no as Rhodes hit the final Cross Rhodes. Now it seems that Heyman is still loyal to Reigns and he does not know what to do about Solo making orders.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jey Uso<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The first minion of Roman Reigns was Main Event Jey Uso. This man challenged Reigns for the title before joining Bloodline only to join later so Reigns could leave his twin brother, Jimmy Uso, alone. Jey Uso for over a year would be the main reason why Reigns would retain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Then when Jimmy joined they both became WWE Unified Tag Team Champions shortly after. However as Jey did not trust Sami Zayn at the start, Zayn&#8217;s action would change the heart of Jey. When Reigns, Solo, and Jimmy attacked Zayn, Jey left disgusted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, Jey Uso is caught in a fight between Zayn and Jimmy, and Jey chooses his brother Jimmy. At WrestleMania 39 Jey and Jimmy would lose the championships to Zayn &amp; Kevin Owens. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In June of 2023, Jey would leave the Bloodline as he felt Reigns was out of control and did not respect them. Jey challenges Roman in Jimmy&#8217;s honor only for Jimmy to backstab Jey and cost him the match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Since then Cody Rhodes helped Jey Uso sign to Raw and leave the Bloodline. Jey Uso would still get involved with the Bloodline but only as a rival this time. He would help out Rhodes, Zayn, KO, and Seth Rollins instead of his former group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/99QVwdBKE7E?si=p1uSWsOPC3yl_ycO\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jimmy Uso<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When his brother Jey seemed the most loyal to Reigns, Jimmy&#8217;s start in the Bloodline was quite the opposite. He did not want Jey to join because he did not trust Roman Reigns. Even when he did eventually join the group, he did not like how Jey would follow Reigns obediently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> But as they became champions Jimmy would begin to trust Roman especially after their little brother Solo joined the group. He immediately embraced Zayn into the Bloodline and liked Zayn. Only to quickly betray Zayn when Zayn would hit Reigns. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When it seemed like he was out of the Bloodline, he quickly chose Roman over Jey Uso. After losing to Jey at this year&#8217;s Mania, Solo would kick Jimmy out of the Bloodline.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Solo Sikoa<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cyDDWFHn__w?si=W-kZ2CmOCW7fg3xR\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Solo made quite a name for himself in NXT and won the NXT North American Championship. He never lost the title, it was taken away from him for joining the main roster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> He made his main roster debut at\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Clash at the Castle<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0where he would cost Drew McIntyre the match against Roman. As he joined the Bloodline, he was known as the enforcer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He was the main reason Rhodes lost to Reigns at WrestleMania 39. Solo would be on a hot undefeated streak until finally losing to Rhodes on an episode of Raw. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After that Solo was mainly used to help Reigns and Jimmy in their matches. In an episode of Smackdown Reigns would call Solo the tribal chief heir when he is done. Is it time now? Or is someone else calling the shots?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sami Zayn<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UiXyPtT7nK0?si=odjpQ5Eq2_v6FtQe\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Zayn was an interesting case as he is the only Bloodline member to join without being actual blood. He is the only non-Samoan bloodline member well besides Heyman. It all started with Zayn showing support for The Bloodline and wearing their shirts in his promos and segments. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When Zayn would start acknowledging Reigns as the Tribal Chief he started talking to Reigns more. What started as a joke turned into Zayn slowly joining The Bloodline. Reigns introduced him at first jokingly and Jimmy always liked Sami. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Heyman tolerated him and Solo even said Zayn earned the right to be in the Bloodline when Zayn took a hit for Solo so Bloodline could win the match. Jey Uso was the only one who did not trust Sami Zayn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Left and right Sami Zayn would sacrifice himself so Bloodline could win. It was not until Survivor Series: War Games in 2022 when Zayn would lowbrow Kevin Owens and hand Jey the victory that he gained the love and respect of Jey Uso. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After that, Jey was Sami&#8217;s biggest supporter and the reason Zayn would stay a bit longer in the Bloodline. Once Zayn defended KO against Reigns and left the Bloodline Jey Uso was hurt. Now they are both reunited on Raw where Zayn is the new Intercontinental Champion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Rock<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d_IqiDsEldI?si=gQSMh0N1uB_A4ldq\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Final Boss came back to WWE just for the sole purpose of facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. In what The Rock viewed as the biggest draw he took Rhodes&#8217; spot even though Cody Rhodes won the Royal Rumble and earned the spot to face Roman Reigns. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Since it is known that The Rock is part owner of TKO which has a partnership with WWE it did not sit well with the WWE Universe. They chanted for Cody Rhodes and they got it. This turned The Rock heel in the process and he joined Bloodline out of hatred for Cody Rhodes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Rock and Roman would beat Rhodes and Rollins in night one of WrestleMania. However, Rhodes would get the last laugh and win the title in Night Two by dethroning the tribal chief. At this past RAW, The Rock admitted he will be gone from WWE for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tama Tonga<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8C19cKdD0hs?si=KL3WY-vQERZorad1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The newest member of the Bloodline is Tama Tonga who just recently signed with WWE. He is the nephew and adoptive son of legendary wrestler\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Haku<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Tama Tonga is also the cousin and adoptive brother of\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tanga Loa<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0who was his tag team partner. Both were in the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Guerrillas of Destiny<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0stable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Both Tonga and Loa are multiple-time tag team champions in\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">NJPW<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ROH<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tama Tonga is an original member of the first\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bullet Club<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0stable alongside\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Finn Balor<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Although mostly known as a tag team wrestler Tonga has won a couple of singles titles around the world. Now he is in the biggest stable in Current WWE, The Bloodline.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What to Expect from The Bloodline Members Story-Wise<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It seems WWE is determined to have Roman vs The Rock next year for WrestleMania 41. The question is how will they get there? The Reigns vs Rock match is big enough not to need a championship involved but The Bloodline storyline will get the story through. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To me, it seems that it is starting already. Maybe Solo is not taking matters into his own hands yet, maybe The Rock is behind it all. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Rock&#8217;s new Bloodline would include himself, Solo, Tama Tonga, and\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jacob Fatu<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0who has yet to make his WWE debut. This could lead to a Survivor Series War Games match against Roman Reigns Bloodline: Reigns, The Usos (Jimmy &amp; Jey), and Sami Zayn. Now that is a match we would all love to see.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To get there in November I believe it could start at SummerSlam. It&#8217;s only fitting that the Rock would challenge Cody Rhodes at a big PLE in August. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As The Rock and his new Bloodline try to win, Reigns would be the reason Rhodes retains, now that would be poetic. That will lead to a Bloodline Civil War at Survivor Series War Games that would eventually culminate at Wrestlemania 41 to see who would be the undisputed Tribal Chief of The Bloodline. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Or maybe The Rock will dethrone Cody Rhodes at Summerslam and defend his championship against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 41. That is just one option but what&#8217;s the alternative option<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Solo Sikoa Option 2<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The second option would be to have Solo Sikoa as the new heir of the Bloodline. Roman Reigns has already endorsed it in the past. He said that Solo is the future of the Bloodline, what if Solo believes the future is now? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What if Solo has decided to take matters into his own hands and instead of The Rock vs Reigns we get Reigns vs Solo at WrestleMania? The Rock is the past, Roman is the present, and Solo is the future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">That could all be an option too. However, it does seem more logical to have The Rock trying to take over The Bloodline to get to Roman vs The Rock. Who knows but this storyline is going to be cinema.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Bloodline Story Will Continue For At Least Until WrestleMania 41<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What we do know is that the Bloodline storyline will continue for at least until WrestleMania 41. That is why Roman vs The Rock seems like the most logical choice and it can be built for a whole year too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As we finish the Rock vs Reigns with probably Reigns coming out victorious we could get Roman vs Solo at WrestleMania 42 in what could be the very last installment of The Bloodline Saga. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Whose to say Mania 42 would be the last installment maybe the last installment could be Jey Uso. Maybe Jey Uso will win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 43 and become the new face of the Bloodline. A lot could happen in the next few years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Whatever happens, expect both Usos to be involved in the mix too as they would probably join Roman Reigns but this time as babyfaces instead of heels. Sami Zayn will also probably be involved in the favor of Roman&#8217;s group. Whatever happens next expected this whole year to take fun and unexpected turns for The Bloodline.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/h3>\n<p><em>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013\u00a0<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
