They are managed by Paul Heyman. Jey Uso was also a member until June 2023 when he turned on Reigns and was then traded to the Raw brand in September. Jimmy Uso had also briefly left the group right before his brother did but reinserted himself into the group in September, but was kicked out in April 2024. Sami Zayn, who is not a member of the Anoaʻi family, was also an honorary member of the stable from May 2022 to January 2023.

The stable officially formed in July 2021 after a feud between Reigns and Jey in late 2020, with Jimmy getting involved after returning from an injury. Sikoa would then join in September 2022. In February 2024 in the build up to WrestleMania XL, The Rock officially joined the group. Tonga then joined the group in April 2024 upon his WWE debut, helping Sikoa kick Jimmy out. At WWE Backlash in France, Tonga Loa debuted, and joined The Bloodline after helping Sikoa and Tama Tonga defeat Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens.
Reigns was promoted as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, as he simultaneously held both the WWE and Universal championships in his fourth and second respective reigns, having the longest reign for the latter before losing the Undisputed title at WrestleMania XL. He took on the nicknames "Tribal Chief" and "Head of the Table" in reference to his role as the leader of the family. His cousins, The Usos, were promoted as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions until they lost their titles at WrestleMania 39, as they simultaneously held both the Raw and SmackDown tag titles in their third and fifth respective reigns, having the longest reign and the longest male tag team title reign in WWE history for the latter. Jey also won the 2021 André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, while Sikoa briefly held the NXT North American Championship shortly after he joined the group.
