Roman Reigns’ dominance of WWE continued Saturday night when he defended the WWE Championship and Universal Championship against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble, but he may have lost members of The Bloodline to his antics when the match ended.
With Sami Zayn and Paul Heyman by his side, Reigns went toe-to-toe with Owens. He hit multiple Superman Punches and impaled Owens multiple times, including through a barricade during play. Reigns would pin Owens and count the three to retain his titles, but the beatdown continued.

Jimmy and Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa came out to celebrate Reigns’ championship defense. The faction continued to punish Owens. The Usos put a chair around his neck and Sikoa threw his body at him with full force. To make matters worse, Heyman took out the handcuffs and they tied Owens to the ring ropes
The Usos hit Owens with several superkicks and then Reigns tried to hit Owens with a chair. Zayn asked Reigns not to do it.
“It’s beneath you,” Zayn said, trying to protect his longtime friend. “You don’t have to do this. You’re better than that.”

Reigns gave Zayn an opportunity to earn his place in The Bloodline. However, the Honorary Uce turned on his Tribal Chief and hit him in the back with the chair. The crowd at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas almost blew the roof off the venue during one of the loudest pops of the night.
The rest of the Bloodline members would attack Zayn. But Jey Uso would conflict and run to the back and out of the ring, adding another conflict to the faction that has been at the helm of WWE for over two years.
“F-you Roman!” chanted the crowd.

But the fight went on until the rest of The Bloodline grew tired. The faction exited the ring and down the aisle, but had another problem at hand.
