As we amble towards Wrestlemania, I wanted to look back at the last year of the Bloodline, a story that seems to never end.

At WM40, Cody Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns, the Bloodline splintered, and Solo Sikoa ended up with the Ula Fala.

In October at Bad Blood, Roman asked Cody for help to defeat Solo and his cronies. Cody obliged, their team won, and nothing happened. Solo kept the Ula Fala.

Jey Uso's singles run without the family has been a rocket ship to success. 

Jimmy Uso has gone from a Roman suck-up to a Jey wannabe, now using "yeet" in his promos as well. 

Roman finally defeated Solo on the first Netflix RAW to regain the Ula Fala, then vanished until a blip at the Royal Rumble before vanishing again.

Six weeks later, and Solo still hasn't acknowledged the new Tribal Chief like he said he would, but I guess it's tough to acknowledge someone who is absent. 

Solo's crew is running rogue? They sure as hell aren't showing any respect to the OG Bloodline members. 

And all of this is PLANNED, because WWE writes their storylines backwards with the endgame already known. 

If they keep us in the dark long enough, we'll forget what's going on, and that way the writers can make drastic changes without logical reasoning.

Gimme CM Punk and Charlotte Flair as Rumble winners tonight. 

Back-ups: Roman Reigns (assisted by Bloodline), and Becky Lynch.

So, the WWE attempted to be like college athletics by adding a transfer portal.

But they didn't make it so it was only wrestlers transferring to another WWE program, they've let each show's General Manager have the ability to transfer wrestlers off their show and onto another. 

But when a GM does it, it's not a transfer, it's a banishment, and it makes the wrestler being transferred look diminished.  Why? Because if a wrestler was really making things pop on their current show, then the GM wouldn't be transferring them away. 

When a wrestler transfers, it's because they see opportunity and greener pastures ahead. Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong, but they start out with hope, and there's no hope when a GM banishes you.

WWE could have, and should have, replaced GM transfers with trades instead of transfers. Trades would present hope for the future, and would at least show that the the wrestlers have value.
