Following the defeat at the hands of John Cena and Kevin Owens on the final SmackDown of 2022, The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa, The Usos, and Sami Zayn invaded the inaugural RAW of 2023, attacking the camera crew and security personnel at ringside before declaring their intentions to take over the red brand.
Kevin Owens, who proceeded to make a stand, was initially prevented from being physical by Adam Pearce, who sent an entire security unit to peacefully escort The Bloodline out of the arena. However, Sikoa made it clear that they weren’t leaving.
Eventually, Owens and the RAW locker room waged war against The Bloodline and sent them packing before Pearce expressed his desire to reward them handsomely for protecting the red brand from Roman Reigns’ faction.
