"It's coming" - Former WWE manager opens up on the imminent implosion between The Bloodline and Sami Zayn (Exclusive)

Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell feels that WWE is building up to the tension between The Bloodline and Sami Zayn.

Roman Reigns' rivalry with Kevin Owens has taken its toll on his relationship with Zayn. The Tribal Chief has been frustrated by KO on several occasions and blamed the former Zayn for losing their huge tag team match against Owens and John Cena.

On this week's Smack Talk, Mantell stated that WWE was doing a good job teasing the eventual breakup of The Bloodline. He mentioned that the opening of the show where Roman refused to fist-bump Sami and drove him out of the locker room furthered the story and showed the tensions between the Tribal Chief and "The Honorary Uce."

"Good opening. Good storytelling. We know when it's coming, they have teased it so much. That is enough to keep you all the way through the show. So very good tease all the way through the show." [From 12:35 - 12:53]
