Recently, Strowman opened up on Reigns' latest ESPN interview where he said that The Monster Among Men doesn't deserve a title shot. The former Universal Champion hit back at Reigns and said that he didn't have a bloodline in the industry, unlike The Tribal Chief.
Reigns noticed the comments and fired a stern warning at Strowman. He put up a tweet telling the former Universal Champion to not worry about bloodline. The Tribal Chief finished off his tweet by making it clear that when he's done with Strowman on SmackDown, none of his family members will ever want to join the business.

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.
