Whose Side? Wrestling Fans Debate The Real Villain Of The Bloodline's Collapse

A matter of perspective. The Bloodline has dominated WWE for the better part of three years now but no period in their history has been going as badly as their current state. Things are starting to fall apart and the question now is can the team regain control. The problems seem to have been forming for awhile, and now some fans have a theory about who caused them.

This week on SmackDown, Roman Reigns yelled at the Usos over the two of them interrupting Reigns before he could say something to Sami Zayn. After the show, Twitter user iBeast posted an image saying Zayn was the real villain in the story. This led to a variety of responses, with fans discussing who was the person actually responsible for the team’s misfortunes. Here are some of the better responses:

100%. He’s the one that turned on them when Roman was giving him everything he wanted. Then he tried to turn Roman’s own family against him

One could look at it as Sami being the villain. Bloodline had a good thing going, and there would be no cracks if Sami never got involved. Technically, he broke a family.

On another hand, one could say an unlikely hero prevented an unstoppable evil from reaching its peak power.

The funny thing is this is actually true. Roman is essentially trying to feed his family and make sure they're the best and Sami, KO and Cody are doing everything they can to break his family apart

Nah Roman the real villain

Roman Reigns may be the Heel in this feud, but the fans can't pretend that Sami Zayn is the hero. The man destroyed a family (the Bloodline) trying to get himself over, worse than Vince Russo did (the Jarretts) with TNA.

It has been a long time coming between Zayn and Reigns. Check out how we got here:

Opinion: It’s not exactly a surprise that things have reached this point, and it does make sense that someone is going to blame Zayn for the issues. Zayn was one of the major problems that the Bloodline has dealt with over their history and there is good reason to believe that he is the reason the team is where they are now. The Bloodline isn’t over yet, but they’re in a lot of trouble and Zayn very well may have caused just as much of it as Reigns.
