Is Randy Orton's rivalry against the Bloodline over?Randy Orton's ongoing feud with the Bloodline remains unresolved. Following his recent rematch with the Ring General, speculation arises that Orton might redirect his attention towards the Bloodline. Presently, Kevin Owens has taken up the mantle in Orton's absence, engaging in a heated confrontation against the Bloodline. With each passing week, tensions mount between Owens and the Bloodline, setting the stage for a potential tag team rivalry involving Orton, Owens, and the Bloodline.
During last week’s episode of Smackdown, Paul Heyman issued a cautionary warning to Owens, advising him to tread carefully against Solo Sikoa and his gang, likening them to a relentless mob. Owens defiantly declared his lack of respect for the current Bloodline members and vowed not to back down.
At this point, two significant developments seem imminent: Orton's comeback and a rematch against Gunther and once matters are settled with Gunther, Orton is poised to turn his focus towards the brewing conflict with the Bloodline.
