During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray spoke on Roman Reigns’ promo segment, speaking about The Bloodline on last Monday’s WWE Raw. Bully Ray praised his favorite moment of the promo, where Reigns referenced his father, Sika, and his Wild Samoans tag team partner, Afa, explaining how The Bloodline has been a part of the WWE since the very beginning. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Bully Ray on Roman Reigns Referencing How The Bloodline Has Been in WWE Since Day 1

“That was my absolute favorite part of the promo. ‘We’ve been around forever. We’ve been here since Day 1. I’m not going to bore you with the recap of what we saw; we know what we saw. But when Roman started talking about Afa and Sika, and Yokozuna, and Rikishi, and he started naming…it’s almost like the floodgates got opened and all the memories come rushing back.”

On the Importance of the Anoa’i Family in WWE

“This is not about the modern-day Bloodline; this is about the Bloodline period. ‘We have been here from Day 1.’ And the Anoa’i family…has been the number one family in the WWE that’s not named McMahon. That Samoan Dynasty has been going on forever. And we got reminded of it last year. And in one moment in time, the Bloodline became even bigger to me last night than it ever has, because of being reminded.”

Elsewhere during Raw, Jacob Fatu officially acknowledged Roman Reigns, and he also took out actor and comedian Eric Andre.
