Recapping the Biggest Party of the Summer, The Reign of Roman Reigns, and the Fractured Bloodline
WWE’s The Bump hosts Megan Morant, Matt Camp, and Ryan Pappolla gathered for a special edition to recap the thrilling events of SummerSlam. The episode, filled with analysis and insights, focused on the highlights of the summer’s biggest wrestling event.
A significant portion of the discussion revolved around Roman Reigns’ continued reign, now at 1,071 days, and the unexpected assistance from Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa. Matt Camp expressed understanding for Jimmy’s actions, pointing out the dynamics within The Bloodline and the fractured relationships.
Camp explained:
“Jimmy Uso was part of a tag team victory along with his brother at Money in the Bank. Who got the pin, it was Jey Uso. It was a team effort to do so, what happens? Jimmy gets absolutely destroyed days later on SmackDown. And Jey took up the cause, but who did he take the cause up for? For his brother, for the family, or for himself? Because this was not just about becoming the next Tribal Chief. It was about the undisputed WWE Universal Championship. And listen, Paul Heyman made this point, Roman Reigns made this point. The fault of this may have been on Jey all to begin with. I get what Jimmy’s doing here. I don’t know if it’s the best business decision for the entire family, for Jey, or for Jimmy. But he had some hate in his heart for his own brother. And any semblance of The Bloodline has been fractured across the board.”
The episode also celebrated new WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY and her SummerSlam win, along with other exciting and historic moments from the event.
