The Bloodline have been very busy with their feud with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, even without Roman Reigns around. This week on SmackDown, recently returned Superstar Matt Riddle helped the Tag Team Champions eliminate The Bloodline.
It all started with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn opening the show on SmackDown, and they were quickly interrupted by The Bloodline. After his back-and-forth promotion, it was a clear two-on-three situation on the way to the ring, but Matt Riddle came out of nowhere and targeted Solo Sikoa first.
Matt Riddle, 37, returned to RAW after WrestleMania. He even appeared on SmackDown later that week to confirm that he will be a part of the story against The Bloodline.
It makes sense since he was written off TV via an attack by The Bloodline, used to cover up his rehab stint. Either way, it’s been four months since then, and since it was specifically Solo Sikoa who took him out in December, he’s targeting The Bloodline’s enforcer.
As a result, Adam Pearce booked Riddle against Sikoa in the main event.
Sami Zayn warned Riddle about the danger of facing Solo Sikoa, who has only been pinned once on the main roster.
