In a night full of surprises and drama, Randy Orton made a stunning return to WWE SmackDown in Glasgow, rescuing Kevin Owens from a brutal post-match assault by the Bloodline. Solo Sikoa emerged victorious in the main event against Owens, but the Bloodline’s dominance was cut short when the Viper struck.
Earlier in the night, The Street Profits vowed to support Owens but were ambushed by the Bloodline backstage, rendering Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins unavailable. This led to Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa being banned from ringside for the main event.
The match itself was a seesaw battle. Owens came close to victory with a Swanton Bomb and a Frog Splash, but Sikoa countered with two Spinning Solos. Owens managed to avoid a Samoan Spike and nailed a Stunner, only for Paul Heyman to intervene by placing Sikoa’s foot on the ropes. An enraged Owens went after Heyman, choking him and clearing the announcer’s desk, but this distraction allowed Sikoa to land the decisive Samoan Spike and secure the win.
The chaos didn’t end there. With Tonga and Loa no longer restricted, they rushed to the ring and began pummeling Owens. Just as Sikoa prepared to deliver a third Samoan Spike, Orton’s music hit, and the crowd erupted. Orton stormed the ring, delivering his signature DDT to Sikoa and an RKO to Loa, forcing the Bloodline to retreat up the ramp. The Glasgow crowd cheered as Orton and Owens stood tall in the ring.
