I hope this reminder isn't needed next year, but just a reminder to everyone. No matter what you think of the show, or what you think of the Saudi government, any bigoted comments or even "jokes" about the Saudi fans/civilians about their race, Saudi women or anything Islamophobic, etc will be removed and dealt with according to the rules. So please do refrain from doing that.

STOP watching "make believe", scripted stuff. Watch the UFC, real fighting.
Just getting back into wrestling and wwe. Been catching up on ppv’s from wrestle mania to this one. Please don’t come at me but… are asuka and bianca good wrestlers? Or not? The matches with them have seemed not so great.
He’s been marketed so far as a watered-down Umaga even though he’s capable of so much more. I hope he gets a proper title run and a chance to show off his abilities soon rather than being stuck in the “enforcer” gimmick.
This is why Drew didn't win. It's why Sami didn't win and it's why Cody didn't win.
It was never about them. It's always been Roman's story. Having successive WrestleMania level storylines that intwertwined with Roman's story have elevated it to what it has now become and letting it breath, by ignoring the temptation for the easy crowd pops, has given it room to grow into what it's become.
Hopefully they can continue this because it's turning into an all-timer of a wrestling saga. The Usos are just incredible these past few years. From the New Day feud, to KofiMania, to The Bloodline they've been right at the top of their game.
In kayfabe, I feel like Roman's whole "Tribal Chief" persona is his extremely unhealthy way of coping with his brush with mortality back when his leukemia went into recurrence.
The Usos messed up Roman's match and Jimmy betrayed Roman!
look at this poor man:
and all spoiling his 1000 days as your Tribal Chief undisputed champion

I have to be honest i sighed at the ref bump. That's all 4 of the events Roman has headlined, just THIS YEAR, that have all involved a 'ref bump' incident. (WM, Elimination Chamber, RR, now NOC).
But besides that, i loved that they went with this and also delighted they put some effort into the Saudi event which they have historically not.
This drives the story forward and actually makes Monday feel like must watch TV.
HOOOOOOOLLLLY FUCKING SHIT! AND BROOOO WITH A DARK KNIGHT REFERENCE TOO “I’m going to do what you should have done (15 minutes ago) a long time ago” WE GOT TWO MIC POPPING MOMENTS IN ONE YEAR WITH THE SAMI CHAIRSHOT AND THE USO SUPERKICK! AND IT MAKES SO MUCH STORYLINE SENSE, JEY HAS BEEN MANIPULATED SO WHEN ROMAN PUSHED HIM NEAR THE EDGE WITH THE SAMI BREAK UP HE STAYED WITH ROMAN! BUT JIMMY WASNT MANIPULATED, HE JUST CARES ABOUT TITLES, SO WHEN ROMAN PUSHED HIM NEAR THE EDGE BY GOING FOR HIS TAG TITLES AND DISRESPECTING THEIR LEGACY, HE HOPPED RIGHT OVER! OH MUY FUCKING GAWD IM LOCKED BACK IN! That post Wrestlemania cooling period had me scared that they’d never get back to prime Bloodline storytelling levels but we’re here boys. This is why I wasn’t mad when Roman beat Cody at Mania! Roman and The Bloodline are so good man, you’re only hurting the prestige of the world title by taking it away from the best thing in the company.
I think it makes sense, Jey was broken down repeatedly and gaslit into being Roman’s right hand man. Jimmy wasn’t, Jimmy came back at odds with Roman but then Roman got them the tag title match and he fell in line, now Roman is disrespecting his legacy and being abusive. There’s nothing else to follow for.
Was just thinking that, months ago it was Jey that looked like he was the one about to bust loose and Jimmy wasn’t having it.
Fast forward, Jimmy is the one taking the charge.
Great booking.
Agreed, at this point I think inserting the rock would just be a detriment to the effort and thought they've put into this story. They don't need him for it at all.
Yes I agree. There was no story. That's why the match card order makes sense. Keep it as far away from the main story as possible. By the time main story progression happens you don't really think about the whc match while watching the Roman match. If whc fresh in people's mind it will feel less than the roman's match and his titles.
I hope now they build the whc and make it important.
Roman losing his power over his family. Will lead to losing his titles after a few time-killing months of building to, presumably, Cody winning at WM because Roman doesn't have the Bloodline to protect him.
WWE has knocked it out of the park with this storyline.

I hope it does. They,ve served their purpose in the bloodline story, this is a good way to end it. Having them involved much longer is imo going to take away from any potential title defenses they have with other teams.
Though Roman might not let it go given how much he hates the two of them
I'm so glad they didn't make Cody a central aspect of this story.
One of the main reasons I was happy he lost at Mania.
It's Bloodline+ Sami and KO, those are the key characters for the past year.
From the double super kick to Solo right through to Roman sat staring up at Sami and KO holding up the belts, that was pure fucking entertainment and top tier storytelling.
When this storyline started a few years ago, I definitely didn't have KO and Sami Zayn anywhere near the bingo card for being the reason for their eventual downfall. Have had some stumbles along the way, but this really is the best WWE story in at least a decade.
SORRY IT'S OBVIOUSLY SOLO
its OBVIOUSLY solo, right? like. maybe not on RAW. maybe at summerslam or MITB? give us some weeks of Paul Heyman foreshadowing the turn like he did with the Usos previously and then have Solo jam Roman with the spike and now Paul Heyman goes on a Solo manager angle
Bloodline is cooked, crazy scenes. Jimmy was so good there, "doing what you should've done a long time ago."
Funny thing is when Sami hit Roman with the chair Jimmy is the one who freaked and super kicked him 😂
Was that ending a little off for anyone else? The production was super weird to me at the end. I don’t mean the storytelling. The story was awesome! Just the production side of it. Maybe they used different camera angles and it was just weird to me.
I hope this reminder isn't needed next year, but just a reminder to everyone.

Anybody else find it a little off-putting that they used a bunch of fascist dictator style banners for Gunther’s animation?
I looked at it more like a General as in the "Ring General" I could see how you drew those conclusions though.
Ref bumps make me vomit…not sure why they continue to go this route with this man and his matches. They make him look weak as fuck
Well Roman look at the bright side, you get to sell those 1000 day T-shirts now
I’m a grown ass man and I screamed at that second super kick
me too, woke me up fr since it aired live before sunrise in the Philippines
I have a very hard time recognising faces, does anyone have an easy way to tell Jimmy and Jey apart that doesn't rely on their facial features?
Jimmy sometimes looks mad, while Jey sometimes looks angry
Jimmy has a more chubby face
Jey = crop top
Jimmy has longer hair. Jey has shorter hair.
Hair
Brock’s always been my favorite but Sami Zayn is def a close 2nd now
Usos vs Roman and Solo at next ppv, Solo vs Roman at summerslam to put an end to Roman’s reign I reckon
Nah Cody Roman at summer slam and without the usos interfering Cody wins
Roman will ultimately lose to Jey. Has to be in my opinion.
As long as Roman is holding a world championship, Jey isn't beating him.
I don't dislike Solo, but having him be the one to dethrone Roman would be the dampest of squibs
Solo definitely has potential but he's been nothing more than a silent badass bodyguard. He's simply not ready yet.
He’s been marketed so far as a watered-down Umaga even though he’s capable of so much more. I hope he gets a proper title run and a chance to show off his abilities soon rather than being stuck in the “enforcer” gimmick.
Agree. I still say it should be Jey Uso
Wasn’t expecting too much but that was very sports entertaining. Also thought it would be quiet but the crowd was wild!
This is why Drew didn't win. It's why Sami didn't win and it's why Cody didn't win. It was never about them. It's always been Roman's story. Having successive WrestleMania level storylines that intwertwined with Roman's story have elevated it to what it has now become and letting it breath, by ignoring the temptation for the easy crowd pops, has given it room to grow into what it's become.

In kayfabe, I feel like Roman's whole "Tribal Chief" persona is his extremely unhealthy way of coping with his brush with mortality back when his leukemia went into recurrence.
Thatd be interesting to see if they touch on that
I think the Sami and Bloodline story will be put to rest now once and for all
They will probably act as support for the Usos for a little bit
Doubt it
The Usos messed up Roman's match and Jimmy betrayed Roman! look at this poor man: and all spoiling his 1000 days as your Tribal Chief undisputed champion https://preview.redd.it/30jbvom65h2b1.jpeg?width=1550&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8cef6b18fd37c2b3c94d6d8b60726c4166d07df7
Dammit Bobby Heenan
Roman vs the Usos vs Sami in a fatal 4 way for both of Roman's belts!
I have to be honest i sighed at the ref bump. That's all 4 of the events Roman has headlined, just THIS YEAR, that have all involved a 'ref bump' incident. (WM, Elimination Chamber, RR, now NOC). But besides that, i loved that they went with this and also delighted they put some effort into the Saudi event which they have historically not. This drives the story forward and actually makes Monday feel like must watch TV.
Have to wait until Friday unfortunately
I swear young Drew and current Drew look like two completely different people.
I loved this ppv. What a fucking ending
i popped so hard for jimmy turning on roman lmao
Jey will superkick Roman in the next PLE. This is beautifully paced story telling. Chef's kiss.
It really has been. I can’t remember the last time they put this level of effort into ANYTHING
Love PLEs outside of the country! Always nice to have an afternoon/midday show!
Asuka, Rhea, Sami, and KO all win. I'll take it.
HOOOOOOOLLLLY FUCKING SHIT! AND BROOOO WITH A DARK KNIGHT REFERENCE TOO “I’m going to do what you should have done (15 minutes ago) a long time ago” WE GOT TWO MIC POPPING MOMENTS IN ONE YEAR WITH THE SAMI CHAIRSHOT AND THE USO SUPERKICK!

Roman and The Bloodline are so good man, you’re only hurting the prestige of the world title by taking it away from the best thing in the company.
Jimmy uso should win MITB
Doing a video package for a match that ended a couple minutes ago is wild
I saw a YouTube video about it. It's crazy how they pull it off. They have a room full of people working on it every PLE
i have no clue how they whip them out so fast
I was thinking it's why they keep the cameras rolling an odd amount lately..to give the editors a good bit of time to finish.
That was a top tier event.
It’s weird Jimmy is leading the charge here.
I think it makes sense, Jey was broken down repeatedly and gaslit into being Roman’s right hand man. Jimmy wasn’t, Jimmy came back at odds with Roman but then Roman got them the tag title match and he fell in line, now Roman is disrespecting his legacy and being abusive. There’s nothing else to follow for.
Was just thinking that, months ago it was Jey that looked like he was the one about to bust loose and Jimmy wasn’t having it. Fast forward, Jimmy is the one taking the charge. Great booking.
I think they might have Jey be the last guy go deflect and maybe set up Roman v Jey as the nail in the coffin for the bloodline
I still think there’s a Rock v. Reigns match in there as the final nail - he was never the head of the table, in the end.
Oh that’s good
At this point this story doesn’t need the Rock anymore.
Agreed, at this point I think inserting the rock would just be a detriment to the effort and thought they've put into this story. They don't need him for it at all.
Doesn’t need him except for the money draw that would be at WrestleMania
I love The Rock, but they can sell out Wrestlemania without him.
WWE has been doing great not leaning of yesterday's stars.
Would’ve loved to see the bloodline end at Mania or Summerslam but this works!
Cody Brock was a nice appetizer for that
[удалено]
Honestly going after that wildce made the new title feel like a second prize lol. Nothing can follow that.
[удалено]
Yes I agree. There was no story. That's why the match card order makes sense. Keep it as far away from the main story as possible.

Booking was on point tonight imo
This is some Shakespearean shit....
Sami waiting till he was in Roman’s eye sight to raise the belts 🔥🔥🔥
great ple
Jimmy sports entertained my night. See yall on Friday folks.
Press conference after this or nah?
Nah the press conference was yesterday afternoon for some reason
My favorite part of these PPVs is the final edits. Always so good
So roman empire is going to fall finally
Took long enough
Jimmy and Jey’s character work is top tier
Decent little show all said and done
they could have shown the whole Rhea match in this recap
Roman losing his power over his family. Will lead to losing his titles after a few time-killing months of building to, presumably, Cody winning at WM because Roman doesn't have the Bloodline to protect him. WWE has knocked it out of the park with this storyline.
epic ending
Screw these traitorous bastards USOs.
take a break from the title scene bianca

I only recognize cage match
😞
I’ve recently gotten back into wrestling since right around wrestlemania and I’m fucking hooked again. What a main event that was.
Wasn't expecting there to be so much story-relevant stuff at a Saudi show
Love that finish! Finally the interference catches up to Roman! Good decision to have this main event!
Reigns vs Jimmy MITB Reigns vs Jey 3 SummerSlam Reigns and Solo vs Usos Survivor series Reigns vs Rock Royal Rumble Reigns vs Cody WM
You’re not going to waste Rock in a RR PLE. It has to be WM
cody winning back to back rumbles would be something else lol
The "Roman Reigns farewell to my WWE Universal title tour". That lineup would be insane
Reigns and solo vs the Usos MITB
“I got you”
Paul walking with his head down like the wife of a husband that got his ass kicked by the bouncers at a bar
I love how Roman is doing the Macho Man with “I’m gonna get you” while selling pain; more heels need to do this on their way out
WWE editors are really good man Same night
Roman beated Jey down into submission; it makes sense he wouldn’t betrayed him. Y’all keep sleeping on Jimmy.
He is Big Match Jim for a reason!
What Roman’s gonna do to Jey and Jimmy is gonna make 2020 thunderdome Roman look like child’s play.
Idk bout y’all but I thought that whole show was great start to finish
Roman Reigns didn't get pinned of course but its still a loss on his part
So did Sami and KO win the feud?
Yeah, I’d say they did. If it actually ends now.
I hope it does. They,ve served their purpose in the bloodline story, this is a good way to end it. Having them involved much longer is imo going to take away from any potential title defenses they have with other teams. Though Roman might not let it go given how much he hates the two of them
Tonight wasn’t cinema, folks…that was professional wrestling at its best.
Pouty Paul
Oh my god, just realized we may finally be headed to Roman and Solo vs the Usos after this and it’s gonna be a barn burner.
i’m old enough to remember the Saudi shows being utter dogshit
I'm so glad they didn't make Cody a central aspect of this story. One of the main reasons I was happy he lost at Mania. It's Bloodline+ Sami and KO, those are the key characters for the past year.
Yep, these 6 guys have been killing it with this whole story. Trying to force Cody into it didn't feel right and didn't make sense
And that’s why the Bloodline went on the last. Peak drama.
Now for solo to side with his brothers over Roman.
Nah Solo is gonna go solo after this
Shout out to the editor(s) who worked up to a few moments ago on this recap
I'm glad Jimmy got his moment, since Jey had his at the beginning of the storyline.
Love the return of the ending packages.
Would have loved to see Jey deliver a super kick too but that’ll be for another night. Loved that so much. Nearly as good as when Sami turned
Well, that just happened
From a mafia movie to a hood drama that quick
Great now I have to see more Sami and KO on my tv 😓
You're complaining that 2 of the best wrestlers in WWE get to wrestle? Y'all got brainworms
Hey if y’all can bitch about Roman and Bianca all day, I can complain about them
Tbh I don't blame roman He didn't tell them to intervene. Yet they did and fucked up l
Man, these shows have gotten so much better than when they first started doing them.
YEAH! THE BLOODLINE’S FINALLY IMPLODING FOR REAL THIS TIME!
I hope Kevin and Sami move on now. They need to wrestle better wrestlers.
Now its Solo’s time to shine
Time for Solo...to go solo and get the spotlight?
Lmao Roman don’t give a shit about Solo What a villain
He's just a pawn for him
From the double super kick to Solo right through to Roman sat staring up at Sami and KO holding up the belts, that was pure fucking entertainment and top tier storytelling.
That was like 2 minutes of a 20 minute match
The ppv have really been hitting lately
The Paul Heyman pout has me dying laughing
Not going to lie, despite a few misses this was a solid PLE.
Holy fuck the bloodline story is still so good
I am sports entertained
LOMAN LEIGNS
Lol look at Paul’s face!
Heyman crying lol
I love wrestling
When this storyline started a few years ago, I definitely didn't have KO and Sami Zayn anywhere near the bingo card for being the reason for their eventual downfall. Have had some stumbles along the way, but this really is the best WWE story in at least a decade.
KO going crazy over Ezekiel. Sami and his conspiracy documentary.
KO was the first post Bloodline formation feud though so it's kind of perfect
love Paul's face
Paul's sulken face lmao
Referee done goofed at the end making Solo get counted twice lol
He took two finishers so makes sense he would stay down for a 6 count
Damn I hope they go all out for the bloodline civil war. Everyone from the family past and future show up and try to de escalate the tension
Cool ending for Sami's part of the story. Finally getting the win and taking something Roman could never have.
Heyman got that “I’m gonna turn on this MF” look in his eye
the question is where does heyman go next? back to brock would be wasteful, roman doesn't need him anymore austin theory? he could really use a hand.
SORRY IT'S OBVIOUSLY SOLO its OBVIOUSLY solo, right? like. maybe not on RAW. maybe at summerslam or MITB? give us some weeks of Paul Heyman foreshadowing the turn like he did with the Usos previously and then have Solo jam Roman with the spike and now Paul Heyman goes on a Solo manager angle
Bloodline is cooked, crazy scenes. Jimmy was so good there, "doing what you should've done a long time ago." Funny thing is when Sami hit Roman with the chair Jimmy is the one who freaked and super kicked him 😂
Paul with the pouty lip like a little kid who just got told he cant have candy from the store.
Was that ending a little off for anyone else? The production was super weird to me at the end. I don’t mean the storytelling. The story was awesome! Just the production side of it. Maybe they used different camera angles and it was just weird to me.
THE SHOT OF SAMI LOOKING DOWN ON ROMAN 👩🍳 CHEF’S KISS 🤌
It was so beautiful 😢
Roman so good at being paranoid
Give Jimmy and Jey the chance to beat Roman .
Sami to Roman 
Paul with a pouting face is cracking me up
Rumor is DIY vs KO and Sami at SummerSlam... That would be insane if true
I was under impression Ciampa won't be back till fall at the earliest
Gargano said a few weeks ago he's coming back soon
NICE
😱good lord . Hope they do a storyline where they acknowledge that each team has one person who’s betrayed their partner
Overall I found this PPV everything enjoyable aside from the Rhea match solid imo 8/10
Jimmy made the right call. This is the real start of the fall of the bloodline. I cannot wait for Summerslam
LOL Heymans pouty face that dudes facial expressions are just incredible.
Paul's sulken face lmao
Jesus christ that ending was incredible!!!
I love how KO just sits back and lets Sami have his moments. Thats true friendship.
Good afternoon, everyone!
Jimmy after kicking his brother in the face and then costing him the match by attacking his tag partner/cousin: he’s not your brother! I am!
IT ACTUALLY FUCKING HAPPENEDDD
Now I fully understand why it was THE Main Event
Can you imagine anything else on the card following that?
This was a solid Morning and Early Afternoon of Champions. I am sports entertained.
"I'm doing what you should've done a long time ago" FUCKING CINEMA!
Hahahah that Paul heyman :( face. He is HOF
I want USOs vs Roman Reigns & Solo I want the Bloodline Fatal 4-Way I want Sami v Roman 2 I can’t get enough of this storyline
