If you have been following this storyline, you must be aware of the fact that although it's being slammed all over social media by a large group of fans, it's doing incredibly well in terms of Youtube and Twitter views. WWE announcer Corey Graves recently expressed his opinion on the angle and called it ridiculous. Rusev had some words for Graves and fans who have been complaining about the angle.

Just because Corey Graves doesn't like it or somebody else it doesn't mean anything. Obviously, the numbers speak for itself, we're the highest viewed YouTube video in a long, long time. I'm stoked about it.

It's just those super ultra fans in their basement that are trying to reject it, which it is what it is, you know, if you don't like it, you don't have to watch it.

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.
