Bloodline segment on SmackDown exposed WWE's flawed creative, claims wrestling veteran (Exclusive)

Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently spoke about Jacob Fatu's opening segment on SmackDown. The star attacked some security personnel on his way to the arena this week.

SmackDown kicked off with video footage of The Bloodline entering the arena. The faction did not take too well to the security agents trying to pat them down for a security check. Fatu was irate and laid a beatdown on the guards.

During this week's episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Mantell questioned the segment's believability. He mentioned that the stars would have been arrested if they actually assaulted security personnel in real life. The veteran claimed the WWE creative team should have infused some reality into the segment.

"Let's look at that for a minute. Beating up security. I mean, are these guys immune to the police? When you beat up the security, wouldn't the police show up and take you out of there? That's not believable. They can push them and be aggressive and they'd have been better off, I think." [14:23 onwards]

The Bloodline will have their task cut out at WWE Bad Blood when Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu face the unlikely duo of Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns in a tag-team affair.

It will be interesting to see which tandem emerges victorious at the next premium live event.
