Kevin Owens is currently part of Friday Night SmackDown. The Prizefighter recently received an Undisputed WWE Championship shot at Bash in Berlin 2024 against Cody Rhodes but could not secure the victory. However, on last week’s edition of SmackDown, Owens defeated Austin Theory and Grayson Waller in a Triple-Threat match via roll-up.
Owens has been part of the stars standing against the new Bloodline on the blue brand but he has been flying solo of late, with Randy Orton on RAW and Cody back to holding off The Bloodline. Meanwhile, it's possible Kevin Owens could soon reunite with Sami Zayn on the blue brand after a hiatus of 336 days.
The potential reunion of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn would be possible, especially with Sami’s history as the Honorary Uce of the original Bloodline. His return to SmackDown could be used to hype the ongoing storyline of the OG Bloodline's potential reformation. Given Zayn's deep ties to the faction, he may play a key role in this evolving narrative.
On the other hand, Randy Orton has recently competed for the World Heavyweight Championship against Gunther at Bash in Berlin 2024. After the loss, The Viper's reunion with Kevin Owens on the blue brand may not bring much fresh intrigue to SmackDown.
For those unaware, Owens and Zayn last reunited on the road to WrestleMania 39 to take down The Bloodline, managing to dethrone The Usos as Undisputed Tag Team Champions. They held the titles for around 154 days before losing them. Their partnership came to an end in October last year when Nick Aldis announced that Owens was traded to SmackDown in exchange for Jey Uso. That effectively put Owens and Zayn’s tag team on hiatus.
All the above aspects point to a raised likelihood of a Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn reunion on SmackDown soon. Some fans even assume that Sami Zayn could join Jey Uso on the blue brand to reunite with Roman Reigns, potentially standing against Solo Sikoa’s current iteration of The Bloodline.
What if Kevin Owens reunites with his real-life best friend on SmackDown?
If this scenario plays out and Kevin Owens reunites with Sami Zayn on SmackDown, it could lead to another WWE Tag Team Title chase for the iconic duo. Currently, the SmackDown Tag Team Championship is held by The Bloodline, with Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa reigning as champions. If this reunion does take place, it’s safe to assume that Owens and Zayn could set their sights on reclaiming the titles.
Additionally, Owens’ long-standing rivalry with The Bloodline would provide further motivation for The Prizefighter to dethrone the villainous faction as champions. WWE could use this angle to integrate Sami Zayn deeper into the ongoing Bloodline saga.
A potential storyline could see The Bloodline brutalize and manhandle Owens during their tag team title feud, leading to Owens being written off for a period. In his absence, Sami could gradually align himself with Roman Reigns and the OG Bloodline to take down Solo Sikoa’s new Bloodline faction.
