Owens is reportedly going to team up with The Brawling Brutes and Drew McIntyre to take on The Bloodline on November 26. However, it won't be the first time he faces off against Roman Reigns.
Kevin Owens was one of the first few rivals to The Tribal Chief persona. The two battled in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the Universal Championship at the namesake premium live event in 2020. Due to assistance from Jey Uso, The Head of the Table retained his title at the event.
The rivalry had another installment at WWE Royal Rumble 2021. The two titans faced each other in a Last Man Standing match. Roman Reigns incapacitated his opponent using the Guillotine choke to pick up the victory.
The rivalry may be rekindled soon. Do you think The Brawling Brutes, Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens could defeat The Bloodline at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames? Let us know in the comments section.
