Companies like WWE and AEW can learn a lot from WCW's failures. One of the biggest lessons both can glean is that faction numbers are important. The nWo learned that the hard way. Things got out of control numbers-wise, which eventually turned one of the hottest groups in wrestling into one that played before diminishing fan interest.

People just didn't care once New World Order became too bloated.

WWE defo don't want that to happen with The Bloodline. The whole exercise (stretching back to 2020) has been a thumping reminder of everything right with the promotion's storytelling, but everything has a shelf life. Recently, Solo Sikoa has been forming his own Bloodline offshoot to the dismay of Paul Heyman, and it's happening during Roman's absence.

Be real careful here, writing team. Solo, Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa and the soon-to-debut Jacob Fatu would be more than enough for this offshoot. Then, Reigns can return with The Rock and a reunited Usos to tangle with them. Neither stable needs to become nWo 'B' team and start recruiting scrubs for the sake of it.
