The Bloodline is definitely one of the most interesting factions in wrestling right now. Led by The Universal and WWE champion Roman Reigns the group has destroyed everyone that’s come in their path.
The inclusion of Sami Zayn has been nothing short of a masterstroke. And his match with a friend turned foe Kevin Owens had top quality written all over it.
That is until the aforementioned gang stepped into the match. And the fans had quite mixed feelings about the same.

Reigns had last week blamed Zayn for the recent loss against the team of Kevin Owens and John Cena. The pair had since recuperated by the time SmackDown ended. ‘The Honourary Uce’ went one on one against Owens during this week’s edition by the decree of The Tribal Chief.
He, along with others, was fooled to believe that there’ll be no interference from outside. However, that was obviously not the case.
An elaborate smokescreen for the eventual outcome
Like fans have grown accustomed to the brotherly trio of The Usos and Solo Sikoa stormed in during the match. The latter brought upon his fury with a splash on Owens through the announce table. Although he reluctantly stood by the group, his face did tell an entirely different story.
The equations among the faction are simmering up nicely and it is always interesting to know what’s next. Also, Honourary Uce’s future with promotion is in doubt due to recent events concerning ownership.
It was also announced last week that Reigns will take on Kevin Owens at the upcoming Royal Rumble event. He had tasked Zayn to take care of the challenger this week.
With the history that both Zayn and Owens share, the champion was definitely playing some mind games as well. The main event clash at the Rumble will be a mouth-watering prospect for many.
Fans react to the events at WWE SmackDown
Fans reacted in numbers over the final outcome. While a majority of them were quite happy with how the story is progressing, some showed disappointment as well. They took to social media in order to let their voices be heard.
Here are some of the top comments.

The internal politics in The Bloodline is turning out to be a great storyline for all involved. Sami Zayn’s work throughout has been exemplary, to say the least. It’s hard to predict how the events will unfold next.
