WrestleMania XL culminated the exciting rivalry that was set up between The Bloodline cousins The Rock and Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.

Former Bloodline member Jey Uso recently talked about the historic match, the end of Reigns’ ‘reign’ of his title, and the appearance of huge superstars like John Cena and LA Knight. However, Uso believes that the Bloodline story is far from over and it is still being written, as he feels it’s just started. He said (via YouTube),
“It’s crazy because it’s over now. Even the reign, seeing [Roman] walk off with no belt, he’s usually the one closing the show, right. Standing out there with John Cena, I was low-key looking at John Cena like, ‘Man, you’re here.’ I’m like, Randy’s here. There goes ‘Yeah’ LA Knight. I’m just being a fan, too. But I feel like the story’s still getting written. You know what I’m saying? I don’t think it’s ending. To be honest, I think we just getting started. For real, I’m excited to see how it unfolds.”
After his WrestleMania win, Rhodes was approached by the Rock who teased that his story with Rhodes had just begun (via YouTube). Other Bloodline members will surely want to challenge Rhodes for his title in the future. If what Uso says is true, Rhodes has a tough road ahead in his efforts to defend his title.
