Kevin Owens has some big issues with The Bloodline. They’ve all but brainwashed his longtime best friend & rival Sami Zayn, who these days is known as the Honorary Uce. One way to get through to Zayn would be to take away the position of power that Reigns has, which means ending his reign as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion here tonight. This isn’t the first time Owens has challenged Reigns for the belts, it’s not even his first time challenging Reigns for the belts during a Royal Rumble PPV – taking on Reigns in a controversial Last Man Standing match in 2021, which many felt Reigns lost on many occasions. Tonight, Owens has as great a chance as anyone to defeat Reigns – and start his Road to Wrestlemania in a big way.

After the match, Jey Uso was ready to officially put Zayn in The Bloodline, but Reigns asked everyone to beat Owens up some more first. The Usos would hit the Day One, before Sikoa hit the running hip attack with a chair around the neck of Owens. Heyman would have some handcuffs, and Owens was handcuffed to the ropes.
The Usos would hit the superkicks, with Zayn having seen enough. He was visibly nervous – and Reigns said this was all because Owens disrespected Zayn. Reigns was ready to end this with a steel chair shot, but Zayn would stop Reigns from hitting the final blow. Zayn tried to say that Reigns was better than this, that the Owens Problem has been solved.
Instead, Reigns would hand the chair to Zayn – telling him to do it instead. Reigns would say that Owens has been an anchor to Zayn, holding him down – while Reigns & The Bloodline are trying to raise him up. Zayn would consider hitting Reigns instead, and started to cry. Reigns would berate Zayn for this, saying that The Bloodline doesn’t cry – doesn’t show weakness.
Zayn would proceed to whack Reigns in the back with the chair – choosing his side. Jimmy Usos would attack for the Tribal Chief – with The Bloodline swarming Zayn in the middle of the ring. Jey would choose to leave the ring instead of getting involved – walking away from The Bloodline.
