5 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE Raw (5 Dec - Review)

3. KO Finds A Way

It’s pretty clear at this point that Kevin Owens has tethered himself to the Bloodline via Sami Zayn, getting dragged along wherever the faction goes. He’s found his way into their business a couple of times already, and Monday night, Owens did so again.

Elias got jumped by the Bloodline backstage before Raw, taking him out of the tag title match. But Matt Riddle recruited KO to take his spot, as the makeshift tag team gave the Usos a run. The outcome was inevitable, but the point here was to get Owens in the orbit of Zayn and his “family” again. Mission accomplished.

Owens likely will continue to be a thorn in the Bloodline’s side until the Tribal Chief steps in to address their KO problem, which is a great way to set up the next world title program. At the same time, seeing a somewhat conflicted Sami as he reacts to his lifelong friend tangling with his stablemates makes for some great television.

Anything associated with the Bloodline seems to connect really well, and this is no exception.
