Topics

  • WrestleMania 42
  • Roman Reigns

Highlights

  • Main idea: The Bloodline storyline should evolve toward individual greatness rather than regressing to 2021-style interference tactics
  • Practical takeaway: Using Jacob Fatu as a catalyst for Roman Reigns' next feud can maintain tension without making him a secondary character
  • Failure mode: Bringing back Brock Lesnar for a Gunther feud risks undermining the 'career killer' prestige established for Gunther
  • Main idea: Cody Rhodes' victory at WrestleMania 42 showcased a more aggressive, 'Randy Orton-esque' persona that defines his new era
  • Analysis: The upcoming PLE schedule requires careful booking of tag team stories to avoid diluting the impact of major singles rivalries
