The Intricacies of WWE Alliances
Every wrestling fan understands the dynamics of stables and alliances within the WWE universe. They can elevate careers, create powerful storylines, and lead to some of the most unforgettable moments in sports entertainment. One such influential faction in WWE today is The Bloodline. Led by Roman Reigns and with key figures like Solo and Jimmy Uso, The Bloodline’s dominance is felt across the brand.
But could there ever be a place for someone as monumental as John Cena within this group? Paul Heyman, the “Wiseman” of The Bloodline, weighed in on this topic during a candid interview with Sports Illustrated.
“John Cena is so comfortable in his righteousness that he would never be able to live with himself knowing the compromise of conscience that would be necessary to be a full-fledged member of The Bloodline,” commented Heyman.
Cena’s Stature: A Roadblock to Joining The Bloodline?
John Cena’s legacy in WWE is undisputed. A self-made superstar, his determination, charisma, and unwavering passion have solidified his status as one of the all-time greats. However, Heyman highlighted an interesting aspect of Cena’s character that might prevent him from aligning with The Bloodline.
“Besides that, he is a highly intelligent and savvy self-promoter. Cena could never accept that, in The Bloodline, he’d be number two behind Roman Reigns…”
Heyman went on to detail the hierarchy within The Bloodline, placing Cena hypothetically lower down the ranks, even below himself.
“He’d be… number five behind Roman Reigns, Solo, Jimmy Uso, and Paul Heyman.”
Cena’s history of leading from the front makes Heyman’s insights even more intriguing. The idea of Cena accepting a secondary or tertiary role seems foreign to fans who’ve seen him dominate the ring for years.
Cena’s Recent Skirmishes with The Bloodline
It’s clear that Cena has had The Bloodline in his crosshairs. Following his return to “WWE SmackDown” after the SAG-AFTRA strike, he’s been particularly focused on challenging this dominant faction.
“This past Saturday at the WWE Premium Live event, Fastlane, Cena and LA Knight defeated Sikoa and Uso.”
In the lead-up to this match, Cena faced multiple challenges, including being attacked by Uso and Sikoa. These events further intensified the narrative that Heyman would later emphasize:
“Heyman later added that the only way that Cena would be number one with Reigns and the other stablemates around is when he’s against them.”
The wrestling universe awaits the unfolding of this intense storyline, as Cena continues to prove his mettle and defy expectations. Whether he joins a stable or stands tall as a solo icon, his contributions to WWE remain legendary.
