I initially made a "state of the Bloodline" thread, didn't see this one so I deleted mine, I'll just copy my post from that thread to here:
So I watched a guy give his review of the most recent Smackdown and he thinks Roman has been ejected from the Bloodline as well. I think it's plausible. The argument was that Heyman kept saying "this is not what your Tribal Chief wants" and was confused by everything that was happening. Plus when he tried to call Roman Solo broke his phone. He suggested that Roman might have even had the same fate as Jimmy if he had been there. He thinks this could lead to a New Bloodline vs Old Bloodline match down the road, possibly at Survivor Series, featuring Solo + Tama Tonga + Jimmy Fatu vs Roman/Rock + Jey + Jimmy.
IMO they should take it in a different direction that that though. It is WAY too soon for an Old Bloodline reunion. I mean Roman and Jimmy working together sure that makes sense. But Jey shouldn't want to join back up with them again yet, especially after Jimmy teased him with the fake apology during their match at WM. I mean yeah we have 7 months until Survivor Series so I guess they could pull that off by then but if so it needs to be gradual and it needs to start right away. Have someone interview Jey on Raw and he could say something like "that sucks but now they know how I feel." They would all need to end up on the same brand after the draft, have Jimmy keep getting beat down even more brutally. Maybe have the GM force them into matches together. Hell have them both in MITB and New Bloodline just beats down on the both of them. Stuff like that.
But my main difference with his idea is that Rock should not be aligned with Old Bloodline. Solo is clearly calling the shots right now. It was either him or Tonga that said "by order of the Tribal Chief" and Heyman was all like "what does that mean?" as he knows Roman didn't give that order. This is setting up Solo as the new Tribal Chief who will be the leader of the New Bloodline in the coming months. However what they should do, is if they indeed have Bloodline War at Survivor Series, set it up where it's a spectacular and physical match. Then at the end Old Bloodline is going to win. Everyone is down but Roman - Solo is dazed struggling to his feet and Roman is in the corner and does the "OOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Roman goes for the spear but Rock hits the ring out of nowhere and hits a Rock Bottom. Solo crawls over and lays on top of Roman for the cover.
In the aftermath of Survivor Series, we learn that it wasn't Solo who kicked out Jimmy and Roman or who has been leading New Bloodline since WrestleMania, it was the Rock the whole time. He is the Final Boss after all. Rock then says changes had to be made to ensure the Bloodline stayed relevant and dominant into the future. He says he pinned Cody Rhodes on Night 1 of WM and gave Roman all the advantage he needed in the title match, but Roman couldn't get the job done on Night 2 and let his petty beef with Seth Rollins cloud his judgement.
Kind of iffy when Rock/Roman happens after that though. Based on Rock's promo on Raw, he's coming after Cody when he comes back too. So maybe whenever the Rock/Cody match happens Roman shows up and screws Rock over and that leads to Rock/Roman. IMO that match has to happen at a WM, the question is whether Rock/Cody also has to happen at WM. If that's the case, then we likely get Rock/Cody at 41 and Rock/Roman at 42. If not, then we could see Rock/Cody at Royal Rumble 2025, and Rock/Roman at WM 41.
Side note, the guy doing the review of Smackdown also mentioned how ironic it is that Solo is stressing how wins and losses actually matter since Solo hasn't won a match since beating John Cena. Apparently he's lost 38 matches in a row if you include dark matches and DQs lol.
EDIT:
Yeah no way they let him keep that, too close to RKO. Shame though it looks awesome.
