I retain that cave lions were serious competitors with the cave bears. A more serious opponent against cave bear than any actual predator towards grizzly bears. The main question is to determine how sociable these big cats were. As concerns the cave lion and also the panthera athrox in North America about his behaviour with the Arctodus Simus.

If these pleistocene lions were as sociable as the actual lions, we can think that even an giant short faced bear could not expel a lions pride from a kill. The giant short faced bear and the north american lion (in prides) being together the apex predators.

The animals life of the pleistocene age were undoubtedly high-risk...

Yes, the Pleistocene Cave lions/American lions were the true lions, but they have been genetically isolated from the Afro-Asiatic lions for over a million years, so their genome has been mutated into a distinct species.

The same circumstance it has been observed so far are the two distinct species of Gorilla, Chimpanzee, Orangutan, Clouded leopard.

They were a distinct species, but it still made them the true lions nevertheless.
