Toa Liona, a member of The Mogul Embassy in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), has taken to social media to respond to a recent jab from fans, who likened him to a “Wish.com version of The Bloodline.” The Samoan-Puerto Rican wrestler, who hails from a rich wrestling lineage, having trained under Rikishi’s guidance, took umbrage with the comparison, which implied that he was a cheap imitation of the esteemed WWE faction, The Bloodline.
The Bloodline, led by Roman Reigns, is a dominant force in WWE, and fans were quick to point out the similarities between Liona’s in-ring persona and that of The Bloodline’s members. However, Liona was quick to set the record straight, asserting his individuality in a post on Twitter.
The timing of the jibe couldn’t be more apt, as Liona is currently embroiled in a high-stakes feud in AEW. Alongside his Mogul Embassy teammates, Brian Cage and Bishop Kaun, Liona recently turned on their leader, Swerve Strickland, administering a vicious beatdown on him on the latest episode of Dynamite. The shocking betrayal has added a new layer of intrigue to the ongoing storyline, which is set to escalate in the coming weeks.
The feud originated when Swerve called out the Young Bucks for their attack on Tony Khan during one of his promos on Collision. The EVPs responded by pitting Christian Cage against Strickland at the upcoming Double or Nothing pay-per-view. As tensions simmered, Cage and The Patriarchy assaulted Strickland and Prince Nana, paving the way for the Mogul Embassy’s betrayal.
With the AEW World Championship now within Strickland’s sights, the stakes have never been higher. As the feud unfolds, fans will be eagerly watching to see how Liona and the Mogul Embassy fit into the larger narrative. Will Liona prove himself to be more than just a “Wish.com version of The Bloodline,” or will he struggle to shake off the comparisons? Only time will tell. One thing is certain, however – Toa Liona is ready to prove himself in the cutthroat world of AEW.
