The Bloodline story is believed to be one of the best stories in the history of professional wrestling. Kevin Owens became a part of it later last year. Some fans are even considering it to be the best storyline ever told in the world of wrestling. Not everyone wants to believe in this theory but a majority of fans are really pleased with it.
Apart from the Bloodline members, a number of other wrestlers also played a vital role in building this story. One of the biggest names who had a huge impact on it is Sami Zayn. Fans believe that without him this story would never be possible. His angle at Royal Rumble is considered the best wrestling angle ever.
From Ego to Empathy: Kevin Owens’ Thoughts on Not Taking Credit for the Bloodline
Another wrestler who played a small role in this story is the best friend of Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens. But the former Universal Heavyweight champion did not think that he had any role in this story and he explained why he thought so. Speaking with TNT Sport, the current one half of the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship said;
“I don’t feel responsible for any of it … it was a tiny little part,” he said. “I just happened to have a 20-year story with Sami already. Sami and The Usos made that story, but I was just coming in and out here and there. I was always the obvious choice to finish up that part of the story … the credit goes to those guys.
Kevin Owens Challenged Roman Reigns At Royal Rumble 2023
“I obviously wanted it to be us [main eventing] because I felt like our story deserved it 100 percent. Sami and The Usos deserved that and I’m so glad it worked out. Save for Roman maybe in the past two years and everything he’s been doing with the title … I think I’ve had the best run out of anybody and I feel very lucky to be – just be there and I’m so grateful for it all.”
“Here’s one thing about this industry that I think is going and being lost and I really hate it – I think humility is going out the window,” he said. “All I see is constantly people putting themselves over on social media and all this stuff. I see the same people in the locker room and I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s not just a character they’re playing’ … they really think this s**t. It’s crazy. Being humble in this industry is a huge key to success and it’s an important quality to have and I think that’s gone.”
Kevin Owens became a part of this storyline before Survivor Series where Sami Zayn decided to go with the Bloodline rather than his best friend. Kevin Owens later got the opportunity to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal title at Royal Rumble. This is where WWE produced one of the best angles ever. We still believe Kevin Owens has a huge impact on this story.
