Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda recently had a chat with former WWE Superstar JTG. The Cryme Tyme member talked about a bunch of topics in detail, and revealed why going to Vince McMahon with a pitch was a mistake on his part.

JTG stated that he went directly to Vince McMahon when he had an idea to pitch, which was a big no-no.
When you have a good idea, you don't want to go over nobody's head. That makes sense. What I did when I had my great idea, I showed it to Vince McMahon. That was a big no-no. There's a chain of command. When something's good and Vince McMahon likes it, people want to be a part of it and they want to be responsible for your success. I had nobody battling for me, so I went straight to Vince McMahon, it was my idea. I didn't go to any of the writers, I skipped the whole chain of command and went straight to Vince, and in this business you need people to back you.

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.
