Listen to this pop. Somehow this camera angle makes it even louder.

The way Roman took Sami's chair shot was reminiscent off when Seth turned on The Sheild in 2014.

Not the best picture but that look Jey gives to Roman after he rolls out of the ring makes me feel the most feels out of anything that happened during that segment.

He's so unbelievably hurt he doesn't know what to do with himself.

Does the RAW after Rumble outshine the RAW after Wrestlemania this year?

On WWE.com the match results show Cody as winning ‘a World Championship Opportunity’ and Rhea ‘a Women’s Championship match’

I wouldn’t say that clears it up much, as it can just as easily be an oversight from the online team as much as it could be intentional. Or it could just be deliberately vague because they still haven’t decided!

Layers upon layers still being unravelled here.

$7.7 million gate. 50% more than the previous record (2017).

52% increase in viewership vs previous record (2022).

Merchandise sales up 135% and sponsorship up 200% (Mountain Dew Pitch Black!)

Dang. Look into the social media numbers if you have time. Crazy amounts of people saw the Bloodline fallout and Logan/Ricochet moment.

WWE also saying they are very, very happy with how the show down.  Which is good, as it was a solid show and may encourage them to do more emotional storylines like the Sami one.

Sami vs Roman people are reporting is penned in to headline Elimination Chamber.

This year it does.  You know damn well people will be tuning in to see the fallout of the Sami and Jey stuff.

Russo I bet <.<

Vince right now : " needed more McMahon... "

Jericho right now : " how do I hitch my wagon to this? "

TK right now : " Dave, I'm still Booker of the Year right? "

Roman is such an asshole. Nothing Sami did was worthy enough to truly gain his respect. He's like a friend that does a huge favor for you & every time something negative goes down he holds that over your head. I let you have this, I did this for you. IMO, that's a huge factor in what makes TTC so good. Yeah, Roman loves you until you disappoint him. Look how RR treated Jey at the start. He'll always hold something against you at the end of the day. My favorite heel in WWE history. Jey might be pissed at Roman but ultimately, he'll fuck Sami UP! I believed in you & you let me down in favor of someone that has stabbed you in the back your entire career. Fuck you, you're a sucker, I won't allow you to disrespect me again. There doesn't have to be a ruse or master plan of any kind.

It's kind of strange Reigns needing The Bloodline. His greatest asset was his ability to simply not show up to work for weeks, refuse to work television and defend the title once every 2 months, regardless of needing backup.

But, did we discuss the part where Roman said to Solo :

" we're at war now Solo. We take no prisoners "

On that.. the likely moment when Jey is forced to make a choice, and the beatdown from his family is going to be brutal. How distraught this poor bustard is going to be, facing off against his brothers and cousin.

I can picture Roman bullying him similar to how he intimidated Sami, with The Bloodline ready to pounce, then the beating of a lifetime starts, then on the titantron we see Sami & KO storming through the backstage area, then KO's theme plays as the duo return evening the odds for the save. Then for feels.. they play Sami's old theme for the sing-along to close Smackdown.

Easily the best thing going in the company at the moment imo. I’ve become so emotionally invested in it as it’s unraveled, and for the duration of that closing segment at the Rumble I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
