Solo Sikoa's Bloodline is headed to WWE Survivor Series: WarGames to make their mark as the biggest Samoan faction in the company. However, Matthew Rehwoldt thinks a former Universal Champion is officially a bad guy, but won't feud with the heel faction.

Last month, Kevin Owens surprisingly turned heel amid a heated confrontation with Cody Rhodes in the parking lot after WWE Bad Blood in Atlanta. Interestingly, The Prizefighter had a lot of striking points for his actions which many fans and critics have taken a liking to in his feud with The American Nightmare.

Speaking on Rebooked Wrestling, Matthew Rehwoldt (fka Aiden English) said Kevin Owens was officially a bad guy but with the right motivations due to his past issues with The Bloodline. Regardless, Rehwold felt the former Universal Champion wouldn't feud with Solo Sikoa's version of it.

"Kevin [Owens] is such a nasty heel and a feud with a really nasty heel Bloodline would also be very incongruent for the audience... He's [Kevin Owens] still a bad guy. I don't think Kevin's a tweener. I think he's a bad guy. He's got legitimate motivations. But what do all bad guys do? They take it too far. I think he's a pretty clear-cut bad guy," Rehwoldt said.

Kevin Owens crossed paths with both versions of The Bloodline in WWE

In 2020, Kevin Owens feuded with Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship, beginning his rivalry with The Bloodline. Later, he took a break from the storyline and moved to Monday Night RAW, where he teamed up with Seth Rollins for a while and eventually had a match with Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 38.

In 2022, he restarted his feud with The Tribal Chief for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, which also involved Sami Zayn's loyalty towards The Bloodline. In the end, The Prizefighter reunited with Zayn and the two dethroned The Usos at WrestleMania 39.

After losing the titles and moving to Friday Night SmackDown, Kevin Owens formed an alliance with Randy Orton. Regardless of their failure to dethrone Logan Paul at WrestleMania XL, the two remained strong and feuded with Solo Sikoa's version of The Bloodline in the coming months.

It's not likely that Owens will cross paths with the group for a while. He is feuding with Cody Rhodes after injuring Randy Orton on Friday Night SmackDown and is expected to stick to this storyline for now.
