Owen's redoes the move right after and Roman moves again and then gets up an spears KO.

The enthralling Bloodline saga was kept for the end of the show, and it turned out to be a masterstroke from Triple H.The post-match angle saw Sami Zayn hesitate to join The Bloodline in their beatdown on Kevin Owens. The former Intercontinental Champion couldn't contain himself as he attacked The Tribal Chief with a chair, which was a callback to Seth Rollins' betrayal of The Shield from years ago. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post&quot;The chair shot heard around the world&quot; got Sami Zayn and all the performers involved in getting one of the loudest pops in wrestling history. An emotional Jey Uso also walked away before the cameras stopped rolling, adding another fascinating layer to an already-iconic storyline.Did you like how WWE booked the finish of Royal Rumble 2023?
