In a recent episode of SmackDown, former Universal Champion Kevin Owens reignited his feud with the menacing group, the Bloodline. During the main event, Owens faced off against the leader of the Bloodline, Solo Sikoa, but ultimately lost the match. After the bout, Owens was attacked by the heels, only to be saved by the surprise return of Randy Orton.
In a backstage interview with Cathy Kelley, Owens criticized the Samoan faction, derisively labeling them as the “Bootleg Bloodline.” The former Universal Champion expressed his disdain for the group and hinted at the possibility of facing them again.
“You know what? Bootleg Bloodline is terrible. We agree on that too. We got some payback, I think we should get more payback every chance we get,” Owens stated.
Kelley then mentioned the upcoming premium live event, Clash at the Castle, subtly prompting Owens and Orton about a potential match against the Bloodline. Owens responded by leaving the option open, further fueling speculation.
“We could clash still. Anyway, we’ll think about it,” Owens said.
Although Owens and Orton previously teamed up to face the Bloodline at Backlash France, they suffered a defeat due to interference from Tonga Loa.
These recent developments suggest that there might be an imminent showdown between Owens, Orton, and the Bloodline at WWE Clash at the Castle.
