The Bloodline was arguably the most dominant faction in WWE’s recent history. It’s sad that the references to the stable’s authority are in the past tense, as they no longer can claim their dominance. The Anoa’i faction has appeared to be progressively unstable with each passing week. While Roman Reigns no longer enjoys the company and protection of The Usos, he has been forced to defend his position from the revolting twins.

A 33-year-old SmackDown star used The Bloodline’s current state to poke fun at Dwayne Johnson. In case you’re wondering why, it is because Johnson also happens to be a part of the iconic Anoa’i lineage.

Thirty-three-year-old Grayson Waller is among the latest batch of graduates on the main roster. He was drafted to SmackDown and made his debut in May. The Australian pro wrestler hosts The Grayson Waller Effect, an on-stage chat show, where he ridicules his guests.

Recently, Waller has gone after Dwayne Johnson, taking shots at The Rock’s attire for his debut match in 1996, on Twitter. The Great One responded to the insults with his iconic “Jabroni” phrase. Undeterred by it, Waller fired back with a tweet. On the July 14 episode of the blue brand, he again poked fun at Johnson.

This time, Waller used The Bloodline’s implosion to call out the WWE icon. “Everyone’s talking about Grayson Waller, including The Rock. The Great One himself. Every single week, his family is imploding right in front of him, every week on SmackDown. But he’s worried about me,” he said, hinting that Johnson isn’t worried about his own who have turned against one another.

Waller insisted that the 10-time champion is craving a rub. “I know he’s desperate for the Grayson Waller rub, and if he wants more of my clout, he knows where to find me,” he said.

Waller had invited The Rock to his aforementioned show earlier. By his latest take, it appears the invitation still stands. To his credit, he has been able to get WWE legends like AJ Styles and Edge to his show. Waller, who had his debut match, earlier this month against Edge in a losing effort, also had a brush with John Cena.

Fans are hopeful that he’ll be able to get Johnson to break his retirement and come back to the promotion. On the other hand, Johnson’s family drifted further apart in the recent SmackDown episode.

Jey Uso punishes Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman as chances of Bloodline unity go for a toss

Jey Uso has been hyper in the last few weeks, ever since he announced his separation from Roman Reigns’ faction. This week, he took his energy a notch higher, fueled by his twin, Jimmy Uso’s injury.

The elder twin was injured during an attack by Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa last week. Jimmy Uso left the arena in an ambulance. Visibly upset, Jey cut an emotional promo, highlighting the bond he shares with his older brother. He also let out a series of warnings for Jimmy Uso’s attackers.

The 37-year-old was interrupted by Paul Heyman and Sikoa, who decided to step into the ring in the absence of Roman Reigns. As things got heated, it ended in fisticuffs between the two parties. Jey single-handedly took on the duo and flattened them out, virtually ending any hope of a reconciliation between the warring members.

It has been proved that Reigns cannot resolve the issue on his own. Can Dwayne Johnson’s presence do the trick? Fans would certainly love to see The Brahma Bull back in action.
