In an unexpected twist, WWE star Baron Corbin has stepped forward to join forces with Randy Orton and Kevin Owens in their ongoing feud against The Bloodline. This development comes on the heels of Orton and Owens’ loss to Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga at WWE Backlash France, where interference from the returning Tanga Loa sealed their fate.
Corbin, who was recently drafted to SmackDown from NXT, took to Instagram to extend an olive branch to R-KO, offering his services to even the odds against The Bloodline. The former NXT Tag Team Champion, known for his tenacity and resilience, is ready to take on the formidable faction alongside Orton and Owens.
This unexpected alliance may come as a surprise to some, but Corbin’s history with The Bloodline’s leader, Roman Reigns, provides a compelling narrative thread. Back in 2019, Corbin faced defeat at the hands of Reigns, a loss that has undoubtedly left a sour taste in his mouth. Now, he has the opportunity to exact revenge and prove himself as a valuable asset to R-KO.
Corbin’s offer has sparked excitement among fans, who are eager to see how this new alliance will play out. His experience as a former WWE United States Champion and NXT Tag Team Champion will undoubtedly bring an added layer of grit and determination to the fight against The Bloodline.
Moreover, Corbin’s recent stint in NXT saw him form a successful tag team with Bron Breakker, with whom he won the NXT Tag Team Championship. Although they ultimately lost the titles to Axiom and Nathan Frazer, Corbin’s ability to gel with his partners has been demonstrated.
Carmelo Hayes, a fellow NXT alumnus and recent draft pick to SmackDown, has spoken highly of Corbin, crediting him with taking him under his wing during their time in NXT. This speaks to Corbin’s leadership qualities and capacity to inspire his teammates.
As the WWE universe eagerly awaits Corbin’s debut alongside R-KO on SmackDown, one thing is certain: the stakes have never been higher. Will this unlikely alliance be enough to topple The Bloodline’s grip on power, or will the faction’s might prove too great to overcome? One thing is for sure – the drama and excitement are only just beginning to unfold.
