On Booker T’s Hall of Fame podcast, former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz compared Sami Zayn’s Bloodline storyline to when Batista quit Evolution back in 2005.
Gewirtz stated that the Zayn story has been carved out on a weekly basis, similar to Batista turning on Triple H. Gewirtz further opined that wasn’t the case when Evolution turned on Randy Orton. He said,
“The cool thing with Sami and with Roman and with The Usos and Heyman and now Kevin Owens and all that is it’s been gestating for quite some time and they’re not resting on their laurels as far as like, ‘We don’t need to advance the story this week. We can just have a three-segment match and that will cover it’. The Orton thing, which you know again, decided, it was well, ‘Why is Triple H booting Orton out of Evolution? Because he has the title?’ Yep, law of the jungle. Old lion [is] jealous of the young lion, and there’s truth to that but you could let that build for a little bit.“
