Vince knew at this moment that there was no going back
As WrestleMania 19 approached, Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan prepared for a battle that was 20 years in the making. The duo exchanged insults and beatings during the storyline progression on SmackDown, but there was one moment that stood out.

McMahon stood on the ramp, belittling Hogan, who was inside the ring. Hogan proceeded to explain to Vince that his idea of Hogan just being a guy who got a lucky break was a complete hogwash, but the delivery didn't go as planned.

Hogan forgot most of his lines and went on to correct himself by stating, "Let me say it again", and messed up his lines again immediately.
Vince did his absolute best not to go out of character and looked at Hogan with those fiery eyes of his, but the promo was far from being saved at that point.
The saving grace however was their match at WrestleMania. Fans got their money's worth as Hogan and the boss pummleded each other with the former emerging victorious.

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.
