Raw Recap: Jey Uso and the Bloodline attack Sami Zayn as John Cena set to face Austin Theory at WrestleMania
With WrestleMania 39 continuing to build up, the match cards continued to be confirmed with big matches expected to happen following the recent episode of Monday night Raw.
The big story of the night was perhaps the end of the beginning of the saga between Sami Zayn and The Bloodline.
Estranged member of the Bloodline Jey Uso finally made clear where his allegiances lied, as he attacked Zayn who attempted to convince him to ditch the Bloodline.
But that was after Zayn had been earlier saved by Kevin Owens from an attack on the night.
However, Owens emphasized he still did not trust Zayn, nor was he willing to work with his former best friend.
How come he don't want him, man? 😢@FightOwensFight @SamiZayn #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/LRlCfV3iBU

At the end of the show, Zayn was treated to a spectacular shocker after believing Jey Uso would choose him over his brother, Jimmy Uso, only for Jey to turn on Zayn and join his Bloodline family members in attacking Zayn.
Elsewhere John Cena made his return to Raw and came face-to-face with Austin Theory.
The 16-time champion had some strong words for the United States champion, with the pair engaging in a series of back-and-forth in the ring, before a bout between the duo was confirmed for WrestleMania 39.
