History

Historical Context

The Hart brothers' bitter rivalry in 1994-95, highlighted by Bret’s steel-cage win over Owen at SummerSlam and his five WWF World Heavyweight title reigns, showed sibling feuds could draw crowds and high ratings for the WWF. WWE still uses that formula, as today’s Bloodline clash between Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa on Raw mirrors the same family-conflict drama that has driven its viewership for decades.
