Kevin Owens urges Roman Reigns to win WWE Universal Championship title ahead of The Royal Rumble

Anticipation among wrestling fans worldwide for the upcoming major WWE event, The Royal Rumble, is at an all-time high. Kevin Owens challenged Roman Reigns to a match for the WWE Universal Championship shortly before the big event.

Kevin Yanick Steen, better known by his ring name Kevin Owens, has been at odds with WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns for some time. Last year, Kevin stoked the fire between himself and Roman when he defeated Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn on SmackDown alongside John Cena.

In 2022, Kevin Owens achieved the feat of becoming the first WWE Superstar in two decades to appear in matches with Stone Cold and John Cena in the same year.

Recently, The Headlock Master shot The Tribal Chief and accused him of holding the championship and then offered to face Roman in a matchup.

“Roman, you may have said that Sami Zayn is not guilty, but let me tell you what you are guilty of. They are guilty of holding the WWE Universal Championship hostage for over two years,” Kevin said.

The chieftain had not yet gotten over the loss he had suffered at the hands of Kevin, and when challenged promptly agreed to the terms of the fight. If all goes according to plan, this argument will enter a new chapter and viewers can look forward to another thrilling showdown.

“Now, on Saturday night, at the Royal Rumble, I give you my word, I give my word to everyone in this building and to everyone watching from home, that I will do whatever it takes to change that and lift that title and to be proud of giving everyone a champion,” said Kevin Owens.

The 36th edition of the annual professional wrestling event known as the Royal Rumble is scheduled to take place on January 28th at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Who do you think will triumph at the most exciting wrestling event of the year?
