JTG and Shad Gaspard formed quite a popular tandem back in the day
JTG and Shad Gaspard were dubbed as Cryme Tyme during their two brief main roster stints in WWE. Although the duo never held Championship gold, both Superstars were quite popular among the WWE Universe. Soon after WrestleMania 26 in 2010, Gaspard turned on his partner following a loss to John Morrison and R-Truth, turning heel in the process. The former friends competed in a Strap match at WWE Extreme Rules, which JTG ended up winning. Shad was released by WWE in November 2010, while JTG was let go in 2014.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
