Is this finally the end of The Bloodline?
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn retained the tag team title belts in a thrilling match, but the story was The Bloodline continuing to crumble. After some interfering mishaps and some frustration from Reigns, Jimmy Uso gave one of the biggest shockers of the year, delivering a super kick to the "Tribal Chief," putting one of the best factions in WWE in jeopardy.
Zayn and Owens capitalized on the shocker, securing the pin on Sikoa.
