Miss Elizabeth was one of the most popular stars in WWE, back in the 80s. As Randy Savage's manager, she portrated the role of a babyface to perfection. Savage and Hulk Hogan formed The Mega Powers at one point, which was the most dominant duo in WWE for months on end.

It all ended when Savage began getting insecure and accused Hogan of trying to get too close to Elizabeth and wanting to steal her from him. The feud culminated at WrestleMania 5, where Hogan defeated Savage to win the WWE title.
Savage's character in this feud mimicked his real-life issues in regards to Elizabeth. He was overly protective of her in real life as well, and the duo eventually got divorced. Savage bashed Hogan on several occasions after his pro-wrestling career came to an end. He also accused Hogan of being responsible for his divorce with Elizabeth. Savage passed away in 2011 after suffering a heart attack while driving his jeep in Florida.

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.
