Orton and CM Punk were arch-rivals back in the day. In early 2011, Punk kicked off a feud with Orton on the road to WrestleMania 27. At The Show of Shows, The Viper defeated Punk in a singles match.

Punk cut his legendary pipebomb promo mere months later, thus turning his career around and becoming a legit megastar. He left WWE in 2014, while Orton has remained a mainstay all these years.

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.
