The Bloodline (professional wrestling)
Updated: Wikipedia source
The MFT, formerly known as The Bloodline, is a villainous professional wrestling stable that performs in WWE on the SmackDown brand. The stable consists of second leader Solo Sikoa, The Tongans (Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Talla Tonga), and JC Mateo. This original name of the stable is in reference to the majority of the group initially being members of the Anoaʻi family of Samoan professional wrestlers. The stable officially formed in July 2021 after a feud between Roman Reigns—managed by Paul Heyman—and his cousins The Usos. The three then formed The Bloodline with Heyman as their manager. From April 2022 until April 2024, Reigns was promoted as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, as he simultaneously held both the WWE and Universal championships in his fourth and second respective reigns, having the longest reign for the latter before losing the Undisputed title at WrestleMania XL. He took on the nicknames "Tribal Chief" and "Head of the Table" in reference to his role as the leader of the family. From May 2022 until April 2023, The Usos were promoted as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions until they lost their titles at WrestleMania 39, as they simultaneously held both the Raw and SmackDown tag titles in their third and fifth respective reigns, having the longest reign and the longest male tag team title reign in WWE history for the latter. During this time, the stable included Sami Zayn as an honorary member, and also The Usos' younger brother Solo Sikoa.
After a falling out with Reigns, Zayn left in January 2023, followed by Jey in June. In February 2024 during the build up to WrestleMania XL, The Rock joined the group, but following the event in April, both Reigns and Rock took an indefinite hiatus, with Sikoa assuming the role of "Tribal Chief". Following this, Jimmy and Heyman were removed from the group by Sikoa, while Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu were added. Reigns then made his return in August, turning face for the first time since 2020. On the November 8, 2024 episode of SmackDown, the original members of the Bloodline officially reunited when Sami Zayn made his return to assist the group in preparation for their upcoming Survivor Series: WarGames match against The Bloodline.
