History

Historical Context

In 1996 WCW introduced the New World Order, a trio of Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall that sparked a ratings surge and forced rival promotions to adopt faction warfare. That model echoes today’s 2026 Raw reunion of Roman Reigns with The Usos, reviving the Bloodline as a dominant stable. Four original nWo members were later honored in the 2020 WWE Hall of Fame.
