## Resource

A deep dive into the fallout of WrestleMania 42, analyzing the future trajectories of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and the Bloodline. The episode also evaluates recent championship shifts in AEW and the potential for major summer returns.

## 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
