As the Road to WrestleMania begins, many storylines are going to see their conclusions. One of the most intriguing storylines the WWE was able to come up with was The Bloodline. With Roman Reigns at the front and center of it and with all the Samoan families being involved, it not only reinvented Reigns but also brought a breath of fresh air to the WWE.
Now, one of Reigns’ cousins has hinted that they will be involved in the storyline this Mania season, and no we’re not talking about Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

The Bloodline story saw a lot changing in the WWE. Reigns turned hell, The Bloodline was a dominant faction, and Jimmy and Jey broke up as brothers. With Jimmy staying on SmackDown with The Bloodline, Jey moved to Monday Night RAW. Despite this, the two still have unfinished business.
The brothers have been at each other’s necks despite Jey trying to save Jimmy from the clutches of Reigns. It’s been going on since SummerSlam 2023 when Jimmy betrayed Jey and sided with Reigns. Jimmy not only cost Jey the Tribal Combat match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship but also broke the brothers up as a tag team.
