As KO tried to fight back, he was attacked further by Sequoia and Tonga. However, later, medical personnel rushed to care for Owens. Meanwhile, it’s worth noting that KO’s status on SmackDown not only signaled his involvement in The Bloodline storyline but also marked the end of the PG era.
For the uninitiated, the PG era refers to the era when WWE made many changes to programming for younger fans to watch. These changes include reducing excessive violence, foul language, and more. Also, to minimize excessive violence, the use of blood on WWE television was a limited measure.

However, recently, WWE has been showing the use of violence and blood. Earlier, The Rock demolished Cody Rhodes and made him bleed, and now Tama Tonga has bloodied Kevin Owens. Thus, it seems that Triple H is bringing back the hardcore WWE. Also, WWE’s PG era may officially be over. However, it’s worth noting that the product is still rated PG-13 on TV, indicating that the company isn’t turning its back on making family-friendly content entirely.
Meanwhile, after beating Owens from The Bloodline, it remains to be seen if he suffered any serious injuries. Also, fans will look forward to seeing other restrictions of the PG era break going forward.
