5 possible endings to Roman Reigns – Kevin Owens’ match at Royal Rumble

Kevin Owens surprised the WWE Universe when he made hie made his return to WWE Smackdown. Owens was nursing a storyline injury. WWE official Adam Pearce was scheduled to face Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship.

But Pearce, surprised everyone as he replaced himself with Owens on the final moments of Smackdown. The duo will be facing each other in a Last Man Standing match. Here is our list of 5 possible endings for the match.

#5 Roman Reigns ends the rivalry

WWE has made it clear that Roman Reigns is the face of WWE. He is being shown as someone who can pull strings backstage as well, with assistance from Paul Heyman.

Reigns has been feuding with Owens for quite some time now. In fact Owens is the only wrestler who has been able to stand up against Reigns. But considering how long and challenging feud this has been for Reigns, he might try to completely end it at Royal Rumble.

#4 Owens could attack Reigns’ alliances

WWE can even decide to lay seeds for a possible betrayal. Even if Owens is unsuccessful in winning the Universal Championship, he could cripple Reigns’ alliance with Uso and Heyman.

The rivalry had begun when Owens questioned the way Reigns treated his family. This would help Owens in creating a rift. The only thing that Owens needs to do is to remind Uso that how essential he is to Reigns’ title run.

Alliance with Heyman could also be attacked. It was Heyman who took the responsibility of contract signing and messed it up.

#3 Owens finds an alliance for himself

A major part of the Reigns-Owens rivalry has shown the lack of friends on Owens’ side. One of the possibilities could be that Owens finds an alliance for himself. The threat of Uso’s interference could be neutralized by seeking help from a friend.

Someone like Sami Zayn could go back to Owens’ corner. Another possibility could be Daniel Bryan. Bryan was assaulted by Reigns and Uso too.

#2 Owens wins the Universal Championship

Out of all the options, this is the most unlikely one. But it cannot be ruled out completely. But this result is bound to have the highest shock value. Watching Roman Reigns dominate Smackdown without the Championship could be as exciting as seeing him as a Champion.

But there is another reason for this possibility being unlikely. Losing the title would mean that that their feud would have to continue in order to get to a rematch.

#1 Kevin Owens turns heel

Owens has been the babyface in this rivalry with Roman Reigns. But Owens is much more exciting as a Hell character. It has been long since we have seen him as a Heel. It might be possible that another failure to win the Universal title would force Owens to turn Heel.

The only probable reason that WWE would not turn him heel could be that they want more babyfaces on the show. This would make Roman Reigns more exciting as a Heel.
