Roman Reigns will put his championships on the line against Kevin Owens at WWE Royal Rumble 2023.
As he continues with one of the most dominant reigns in recent times in WWE, Roman Reigns faces the new year to continue as the company’s main face, although an old enemy wants to disrupt his plans. For a few weeks, Kevin Owens continued his attacks on Roman Reigns and the rest of The Bloodline, reaping victories against them when he defeated Reigns and Zayn along with John Cena. After this, WWE made official a new confrontation between both superstars in the first PLE of 2023.
During the weekly SmackDown broadcast, WWE declared that Roman Reigns would defend the Undisputed Universal Championship against Kevin Owens in WWE Royal Rumble 2023. This would be the third match between the two fighters in the event where both reap a victory over their rival, one in 2017 in favor of Kevin Owens and the most recent, in 2021, in favor of Roman Reigns.

A few weeks after the event, Kevin Owens will have before him one of the most extraordinary feats of recent times in WWE: defeating ‘The Tribal Chief,’ Roman Reigns. We will have to wait to see what happens between Owens and Reigns, who will have the help of The Bloodline in his corner, although this factor may be critical in the match due to Sami Zayn’s recent problems with the faction and his old friendship with him. Challenger, Kevin Owens.
