With Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall, the stable became wildly popular and helped WCW gain the upper hand against WWE in the ratings war. However, its success became the albatross around WCW’s neck.
nWo branched out into other factions and saw a number of superstars added to it. The storyline, which should have ended a year later, dragged on and became diluted as fan interest dipped.
Speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff, who was behind the formation of the nWo in WCW, warned WWE of making the same mistake with Roman Reigns’ Bloodline. He praised The Bloodline angle and said it was one of the best stories ever told.
He then compared it to the nWo and pointed to its decline, questioning why the WWE creative, led by Triple H, is doing the same thing.
“But like the nWo, which yours truly, you know, I nosedived it by, you know, growing it too big and the, you know, the red and white, the Wolf Pack and derivatives of the original nWo. Too many guys into it diluted the significance of it. Okay, you got me on that. I did that, but because I did that, because it’s so obvious, why is WWE doing the same thing?” he said.
The former RAW general manager said he doesn’t think the story should end, but it needs fresh ideas. He said if WWE keeps repeating the same old story with The Bloodline, fans won’t remember it too fondly.
“But if they keep doing what I did, which is riding it till it dies, essentially, people will reflect back on The Bloodline storyline and have a less favorable opinion of it,” he added.
After Roman Reigns lost to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL, it was widely believed that The Bloodline story, which began in 2020, was done.
However, this year, following Reigns’ win over CM Punk at WrestleMania 42, the faction has reunited, with Reigns being joined by The Usos and recently Jacob Fatu.
The Bloodline have tried to add other members in WWE
After reuniting on RAW and following Jacob Fatu’s integration, The Bloodline set broader goals. Roman Reigns directed Fatu to head over to SmackDown and recruit former Bloodline member Solo Sikoa back to the group.
Sikoa rejected Fatu’s offer, and this led to some confrontations with the stable on RAW.
At SummerSlam, Sikoa teamed up with LA Knight and Royce Keys to defeat The Usos and Fatu in a six-man tag team match.
