"Story is just not done"- Former WWE Universal Champion wants to face Roman Reigns after nearly two years
WWE Superstar Kevin Owens would love to stand across the ring with Roman Reigns once again.
The duo last met in a singles match nearly two years back at Royal Rumble 2021, where the Tribal Chief was the Last Man Standing. The match happened during the pandemic era when no crowd was allowed inside the arena.
Speaking on the After the Bell podcast, the Prizefighter stated that he still has unfinished business with Roman Reigns.
"I don't think much has changed, honestly[since their last match]. I think I was pretty well equipped back then too and it just didn't work out that way for, you know, a multitude of reasons. I just think there's unfinished business. I think the story is just not done. I think a lot of people watching would agree. It's been two years since all that stuff happened. Everything Roman and I put each other through happened in front of empty arenas, you know, during the pandemic."
Owens added that he'd like to take on the Tribal Chief in front of fans since their last match took place in the 'Thunderdome era.'
"I would love to be able to get that, recapture that and see what happens when it's in front of a sold-out arena or sold-out stadium, whatever it may be, and get the feel the energy of a crowd watching what's unfolding in front of them. I'd love to get to do that one more time for my own benefit, just to be able to hear what we can do with the fans in the stands." [27:11 - 28:06]

The Prizefighter was on the cusp of winning the match for his team but Sami Zayn's actions turned the match. Owens stated on RAW this week that he's done with his former best friend after what transpired at WWE's latest PLE. KO also went on to defeat Jey Uso in a singles match.
If the latest reports are to be believed, Owens is not done with The Bloodline. The former Universal Champion could challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Royal Rumble.
With the two being on opposite brands, it'll be interesting to see how WWE books the feud moving forward.
