The 2023 Royal Rumble marked a dark day for The Bloodline faction in WWE, as tensions between Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn boiled over during the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match. Despite Zayn’s proven loyalty to Reigns, the Tribal Chief chose to brutalize his best friend, Kevin Owens, with a steel chair, prompting a change of heart from Zayn.
At the recent Elimination Chamber event, Zayn sought to avenge his friend and challenge Reigns for the title. However, a wrongful spear on Jey Uso in the final moments led to Reigns retaining both of his titles against Zayn.
Reigns took to his official Instagram page to share backstage photos of himself ahead of his title matches against Owens and Zayn. The photos featured Reigns alongside his loyal advocate Paul Heyman and Jey and Jimmy Uso.
The post-match fallout from the Royal Rumble saw Jey Uso leave the ring confusedly, leading to his departure from The Bloodline stable. It remains to be seen what this means for the faction’s future, but Reigns has clarified that he will stop at nothing to maintain his hold on the WWE Universal Championship.
This week’s edition of Monday Night RAW saw Sami Zayn appeal to Kevin Owens for assistance in his mission to topple The Bloodline. However, Owens, who had previously severed ties with Zayn during his stint with the faction, refused to join forces with his old friend.
Meanwhile, Roman Reigns is gearing up to defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 39. As fans speculate about the possibility, many are predicting a reunion between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn on The Road To WrestleMania. Rumors suggest the duo could dethrone The Usos at the upcoming Showcase Of Immortals in April.
With Reigns at the top of his game and The Bloodline still, a force to be reckoned with, Zayn and Owens will need to develop a solid strategy to bring the Samoan faction to its knees. As the road to WrestleMania heats up, fans will be on the edge of their seats to see what surprises and twists lie ahead.
