The Bloodline, WWE’s dominant heel faction, has been making waves in the wrestling world with its recent additions, including Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa. However, a former WWE Superstar, Afa Anoa’i Jr., has revealed why his family’s name is rarely mentioned on television. In a recent interview, Anoa’i Jr., formerly known as Manu in WWE, shared that the Anoa’i name is often difficult for fans to pronounce, leading to its limited use on TV.
Anoa’i Jr., the son of WWE Hall of Famer Afa of The Wild Samoans, has firsthand experience with the faction, having been a member of The Legacy faction during his WWE stint from 2006 to 2009. Despite his release from the promotion, he has continued to thrive in the independent wrestling scene. His insight into the reasoning behind WWE’s decision to downplay the Anoa’i name provides a fascinating look into the world of professional wrestling.
Meanwhile, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long has praised the company’s decision to bring Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa into The Bloodline fold. Speaking on Sportskeeda’s The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Long expressed his approval of the move, stating that Haku, the father of the Tonga brothers, must be proud of his sons for making it to WWE.
The Bloodline’s recent expansion has sparked debate among wrestling enthusiasts, with some, like wrestling legend Vince Russo, pointing out potential flaws in the faction’s presentation. As WWE continues to shape The Bloodline’s narrative, fans are left wondering if more stars will join the faction, and what the future holds for this dominant force in the WWE universe.
Despite the controversy surrounding The Bloodline’s identity, one thing is clear – the faction’s influence on WWE television is undeniable. As the wrestling world continues to evolve, the fate of The Bloodline remains a topic of intense speculation and debate. Will the faction continue to thrive, or will internal conflicts and external pressures lead to its downfall? Only time will tell.
