The 2023 Royal Rumble Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens marked a crucial moment for WWE’s Bloodline faction. In the lead-up to the pay-per-view, WWE hinted at friction between Reigns and Sami Zayn, despite Zayn proving his allegiance to the Tribal Chief at Survivor Series WarGames. However, Zayn’s loyalty was tested at the Royal Rumble when he joined Reigns and Jey Uso in savagely attacking Owens with a steel chair, marking a turning point for the faction.
At the Alamodome, Sami Zayn’s sudden facial turn caught fans off guard as he hit Roman Reigns’ back with a steel chair to save Kevin Owens. However, this heroic act resulted in The Bloodline brutally attacking Zayn, except for Jey Uso, who left the ring puzzled, eventually leading to his departure from the heel faction.
At Elimination Chamber, Zayn challenged Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship but failed to dethrone The Tribal Chief after accidentally hitting Jey Uso with a spear. This week on RAW, Zayn asked for Kevin Owens’ help taking down The Bloodline, but Owens refused.
Ahead of this week’s SmackDown, Jey Uso was spotted traveling with The Bloodline. It remains to be seen how WWE will execute Jey’s realignment with The Bloodline on tonight’s episode. WWE fans can expect an exciting development following the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event.
