PHOTO: Cody Rhodes spotted conversing with 6-time champion ahead of dramatic ending involving The Bloodline on WWE RAW
Former Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes is heading into the biggest match of his life at WrestleMania 39, where he will face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. However, The American Nightmare has to tackle The Bloodline. He can't do it on his own, as could be seen during tonight's episode of RAW. As a result, he may have been seeking the help of Kevin Owens.
A few eagle-eyed WWE fans spotted Rhodes talking to Kevin Owens in the background of a backstage segment featuring Bronson Reed, Rick Boogs, and Elias. Based on what happened at the end of the show, he was possibly conversing with the former Universal Champion to forgive Sami Zayn and join forces with the two of them to take on The Bloodline.

However, there is still too much bad blood from Zayn betraying KO at Survivor Series for any potential reunion to happen at this point in the storyline.
Kevin Owens did not accompany Cody Rhodes to save Sami Zayn
The final moments of this week's episode of RAW may speed up the forgiving process. Jey Uso betrayed Sami Zayn and reunited with Jimmy Uso before the twins and Solo Sikoa beat their former ally down. Cody Rhodes ran in to make the save before the show went off the air.
A combination of Cody's words and Sami getting betrayed could sway Kevin Owens towards forgiving his former best friend by next week. The two of them will likely challenge The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 39.
Expect a six-man tag team match pitting Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens against Jimmy, Jey, and Solo before The Show of Shows. Things have been set up perfectly for The Bloodline to finally crumble, with The American Nightmare putting the final piece of the puzzle together by trying to reunite KO and Sami.
