The Bloodline storyline officially kicked off in 2020, and it’s been going strong for years now. There’s been a lot of speculation regarding how the storyline might wrap up, but WWE keeps adding new layers and character to The Bloodline, and it’s looking likely that the storyline will continue to be featured on WWE programming well into 2025.
Paul Heyman has been a key figure in The Bloodline storyline from the very beginning and he recently re-entered the fold ahead of Survivor Series. While speaking with CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri where he would rank the storyline and he didn’t hesitate to rank it at number one.
“Because of the longevity that the storyline has had, I would have to rank it number one. The money-drawing years of the Horsemen weren’t this long. The money-drawing years of the NWO weren’t this long. The money-drawing years of (Steve) Austin vs. (Vince) McMahon weren’t this long. (Hulk) Hogan vs. (Randy) Savage. Hogan vs. (Roddy) Piper, which put WrestleMania 1 on the map.
Just in terms of overall storytelling and constant ebb and flow of affecting other people’s environment and how they tell their stories, I would suggest it’s the most significant, it’s the biggest money drawing, it had the most longevity, has held the most interest, and overall has done so by being the most intriguing and compelling because at every turn, you see the characters, not just turn towards what the story calls for, but the long-term effects of the development and evolution of these characters is never lost on us.
If something happens that changes Roman Reigns in 2022, we don’t disavow knowledge of it in 2024. It plays into what’s happening in 2024. Because of that, and because we keep it consistent, I would rank it number one. All false humility aside.”
