KENTA currently wrestlers for NJPW. He was a WWE mainstay for the past four years or so, and spent the first three years of his tenure in NXT. He was later sent up to the main roster, on 205 Live. KENTA was released from his WWE contract earlier this year, and he made his NJPW debut soon after.

Graves, on the other hand, has been getting into controversies lately, one after the other. He was recently slammed by fans for his negative comments that were directed towards NXT commentator Mauro Ranallo during NXT TakeOver: War Games 2019.

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.
