The Bloodline to add a member outside of family; Stephanie McMahon returns as GM? 5 twists possible in the Kevin Owens saga
Kevin Owens has been one of the biggest rivals of The Bloodline since 2020. He was by Cody Rhodes' side against the faction over the past two years. However, he could not tolerate The American Nightmare forming an alliance with Roman Reigns, which led to a fallout between the two friends.
The former WWE Universal Champion attacked Rhodes after Bad Blood in the parking lot. He is now facing consequences for it as he is not allowed to show up on SmackDown.
The storyline could go a lot of ways. So, let's take a look at five possible twists:
#5. A feud with Nick Aldis?
Kevin Owens recently expressed his disappointment about how WWE had treated him following his attack on Cody Rhodes. He called out several officials on his X (fka Twitter) account.
Despite being suspended from SmackDown, The Prizefighter could show up on the blue brand to confront Nick Aldis. This may lead to them getting physical at some point, especially with Owens' current temperament.
KO could trigger the in-ring return of the blue brand's General Manager by attacking him. This may lead to WWE needing a new authority figure to run things on Friday nights.
#4. Stephanie McMahon could replace Nick Aldis as SmackDown General Manager
One of the names Kevin Owens called out for mistreatment is Stephanie McMahon. It is quite interesting because she does not have anything to do with his situation.
The Prizefighter mentioning her could lead to her return as an on-screen character. If Nick Aldis gets into a feud with him, the former WWE CEO could take the role of SmackDown General Manager to punish Owens.
#3. Kevin Owens could leave WWE
Kevin Owens' WWE contract is reportedly set to expire at the end of this year. This has made his storyline very intriguing. It may just end up with him being reinstated as a SmackDown star, or entirely leaving the Stamford-based promotion.
Randy Orton recently demanded a match against Owens from Nick Aldis. However, his request was turned down because the higher-ups did not want that.
The Viper could talk to Triple H to get a match against his former Tag Team partner. It could be a loser leaves WWE match, if KO does not re-sign with the company.
In another scenario, Cody Rhodes could put the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line against KO in a Title vs. Career match.
#2. Kevin Owens could get traded to WWE RAW
The situation for Kevin Owens is not looking good on the blue brand. His relationship with the officials has deteriorated quickly, and he also has problems with top SmackDown Superstars like Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, and The Bloodline.
This may lead to The Prizefighter being traded to WWE RAW. Adam Pearce could send Sami Zayn or Jey Uso to the blue brand in return for him. It would be the perfect way to set up the reunion of the original Bloodline as well.
#1. Could the Rock entice Kevin Owens into joining The Bloodline?
Since Cody Rhodes joined forces with Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens could join the new iteration of The Bloodline out of spite because they are the biggest rivals of the Original Tribal Chief and The American Nightmare.
The Rock could be revealed as the new Tribal Chief of the faction and help The Prizefighter return to SmackDown. The Final Boss could make it happen because he is a member of TKO's Board of Directors. Both men also dislike Cody Rhodes, so they could get along.
WWE could shock fans by booking KO to be The Brahma Bull's Enforcer.
