Sami Zayn betrays The Bloodline as Roman Reigns retains title and all results from 2023 Royal Rumble

David Ben 11:00 - 29 January 2023

Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley are heading to Wrestlemania, but the biggest story of the night was the drama in the camp of The Bloodline.

Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley are WrestleMania bound after winning their respective matches at the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble.

The duo will now challenge a champion of their choosing at Wrestlemania 39.

The night closed in dramatic fashion as one of WWE's best storylines in recent memory took a major step forward with Sami Zayn and The Bloodline.

Undisputed WWE universal champion Roman Reigns defeated Kevin Owens in the show’s main event.

In the aftermath of the match, Reigns demanded that Zayn take out out his defenseless estranged best friend with a career-ending blow.

However, Zayn ultimately turned his back on The Bloodline, refusing to submit to the head of the table’s demands.

And oh…Jey Uso also walked out on The Bloodline at the close of the show - a full circle moment dating back to the group's origins and Jey Uso's feud with Reigns in 2020.
