No matter what "inning" The SignalHubBloodline is in, Paul Heyman isn't letting anyone criticize WWE's biggest faction, even if it comes from a Hall of Famer.

After the twist ending to the Tribal Combat match at SummerSlam between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso, the "Wise Man" was asked in the press conference what inning The Bloodline is in, which he confidently said the "bottom of the third."

"We're just figuring this stuff out. We haven't even hit our stride yet," he said.

The comment drew reactions from all over the wrestling world, with questions about whether the storyline is beginning to drag out or is it still the hottest thing for the company.

On his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle said he doesn't believe Heyman, and in reality, there is stress about the direction of the story.

“The storyline is great. I love it, but I think Heyman was full of (expletive). I think they're in the eighth inning, and they're stressed. They're making (expletive) up now. That's what I believe. Paul Heyman, I know him, and I know that he's probably going crazy right now, 'What do we do next?'"

Paul Heyman fires back at Kurt Angle

No stranger to firing back at comments, Heyman grilled Angle on social media, reminding him that he's no longer a big star within WWE.

"No matter what inning we’re in, at least we’re not looking for exposure thru the next Old Timer’s Day," Heyman said.

Regardless, The Bloodline storyline will continue in some form in the future, especially with Roman Reigns still the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
