While Reigns has a lighter work schedule, those two carry on the Bloodline name, appearing regularly across the company's programming while continuing to set the standard for tag team wrestling. Not only are they staples of Raw and SmackDown, but they have also become the most consistent representatives of their faction. The twin brothers, sons of Hall of Famer Rikishi, have established themselves as centerpieces of WWE programming.
