Owens unsuccessfully challenged Reigns for the Universal Championship in three matches at the WWE ThunderDome between December 2020 and January 2021. Their most recent televised encounter came at the 2021 Royal Rumble when The Tribal Chief defeated Owens in a Last Man Standing match.
Asked on Corey Graves’ After The Bell podcast about future opponents, the former Universal Champion made it clear that he has not forgotten about Reigns:
Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar in the main event on the second night of WrestleMania 38 to become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. His next title challenger is currently unclear.
Roman Reigns is not the only superstar Kevin Owens has an eye on
Kevin Owens has worked with WWE veterans Edge, Randy Orton, and Rey Mysterio in the past. However, he has never gone one-on-one with any of the three men in a meaningful televised rivalry.
Along with Roman Reigns, Owens says the experienced trio are also on his list of possible future opponents:
Owens lost via count-out against Cody Rhodes on the latest episode of RAW. He has also been featured in segments with Ezekiel, Elias’ storyline younger brother, since his WrestleMania 38 match against Steve Austin.
