Kevin Owens could reignite a decade-long rivalry after Survivor Series, former WWE analyst explains why
Kevin Owens shocked the WWE Universe at Bad Blood in an off-camera heel turn. He assaulted Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes owing to The American Nightmare's decision to team up with Roman Reigns, a man he has been at odds with for the better of the last four years.
During this time, he mended fences with his Sami Zayn. They have been friends and bitter rivals throughout their careers. However, WrestleMania 39 was the peak of their friendship, as they captured the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship from The Usos in Night One's main event. That was one year ago. With recent reports confirming a potential reunion of the OG Bloodline, WWE analyst Matt Camp feels this could create strife between Zayn and Owens.
The OG Bloodline's Jey Uso and the Honorary Uce, Sami Zayn, are currently on RAW, and as per the rumors, they will join forces with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso on SmackDown to battle Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline.
Speaking on the latest episode of Busted Open, Matt Camp addressed the former Universal Champion's emotions, which have been getting the better of him in the last few days. If Zayn lets bygones be bygones with the OTC, then The Prizefighter will have a problem with that.
"I know someone who wouldn't be too happy about that. Someone who took his frustrations out on Cody Rhodes outside of his bus last Saturday. Someone who last night interrupted the show, who got Cody to come out and confront him. And someone who is not happy with Randy Orton either. You think Kevin Owens will be happy if Sami Zayn ended up with Roman Reigns, and dare I say, could that lead to yet another Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn feud? It's a possibility," Matt Camp said.

Kevin Owens expected to challenge Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at Survivor Series: WarGames
Heading into Bash in Berlin on August 31, Cody Rhodes granted Kevin Owens a title shot even though the latter did not technically earn it conventionally by winning a number-one contender's match or series of bouts. This program was deemed ineffective because there was no real animosity between the two, making the match fall flat through the lens of many fans.
Now that Owens is a heel, WWE's Sam Roberts noted that a rematch is most definitely in the works. Roberts expects it to happen at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 30:
"I believe Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens will be your Survivor Series match," he said.
Meanwhile, Sami Zayn headlined RAW with Gunther in a World Heavyweight Championship match this past Monday. However, Zayn failed to dethrone The Ring General.
