Popular WWE star claims his faction's gimmick was stolen and handed to The Bloodline
A popular WWE Superstar has suggested that his faction's gimmick was stolen and given to The Bloodline on SmackDown. The heel faction is currently targeting Cody Rhodes on the blue brand.
Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) was the manager of The Hurt Business faction alongside Bobby Lashley, Cedric Alexander, and Shelton Benjamin. The group was quite popular but was disbanded in 2022. The veteran recently claimed that Triple H turned down the idea of reuniting the stable.
On a recent Instagram post, a fan commented and claimed the company stole The Hurt Business' gimmick and gave it to The Bloodline. MVP reacted to the comment by saying "true story" as seen in the image below.

MVP currently serves as the manager for Omos but the big man has not been in action as of late. The Nigerian Giant last competed in April in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the SmackDown before WWE WrestleMania XL. Bronson Reed emerged victorious in this year's battle royal.
Dutch Mantell reacts to Bloodline member's claim on WWE SmackDown
Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell has shared his thoughts on Solo Sikoa claiming Roman Reigns would not be coming back this past Friday night on SmackDown.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk show, Mantell discussed the backstage conversation between Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa. He noted that it adds another layer to the storyline and changes the entire trajectory of the angle moving forward on the blue brand.
"Let me tell you something else that changed the course of a lot of things tonight. It was the interview with Heyman and Solo at the beginning, and Solo says I don't know if I should be telling you this, and I hate it's coming from me and he dropped it that Roman Reigns is not coming back. And I went, 'Well, that changes the trajectory of everything.'" [From 26:00 onwards]

Roman Reigns has not appeared on WWE television since his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. It will be interesting to see how The Tribal Chief responds to the massive changes in The Bloodline when he finally makes his return.
