Paul Heyman: It’s Storyline First With The Bloodline

Paul Heyman comments on the Bloodline storyline. 

For four years, the Bloodline has run WWE programming as Roman Reigns has sat at the head of the table and become the Tribal Chief. Paul Heyman has been alongside him as The Wiseman the entire way as family members Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa have been introduced, and Reigns has fought a bevy of challengers, including Kevin Owens, Brock Lesnar, Sami Zayn, Cody Rhodes, and more. 

Speaking to Graham GSM Matthews on WrestleRant, Heyman commented on the Bloodline storyline. 

“I think under the creative guidance of Paul Levesque, the audience is more cognizant of our pursuit to define storyline first and at all times. But it has been that way for us since August 2020. Just the very way that we revealed the fact that Roman Reigns was no longer the big dog, and Brock Lesnar’s advocate was about to become a Special Counsel/Wise Man, and The Big Dog was about to become A Tribal Chief. Just the way we let that play out on television, was the infancy of The Bloodline storyline. So it’s always been storyline first for us, and I think it took until the Paul Levesque era for the audience to realize just how much we incorporate the mantra of storyline first at all times,” he said.

Heyman produced and directed the upcoming WWE Legends A&E Biography on Reigns, which premieres on Sunday, March 31st.
