In a surprising revelation, former WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens celebrated as the Prize Fighter and Grandslam Champion, discloses his reluctance to revisit a clash with Roman Reigns, citing fans’ apparent disinterest.

Having clinched WWE Universal, United States, Intercontinental, NXT, and tag team championships, Owens’ illustrious career takes a thought-provoking turn as he contemplates his next move.

Despite multiple attempts, Owens couldn’t secure the Universal title from Roman Reigns, sparking contemplation on the viability of revisiting this storied rivalry.

Kevin Owens talks about his championship aspirations

In a candid interview with James Williams, Owens passionately discusses his championship aspirations but reads between the lines of fan sentiment. He implies that the audience yearns for innovative matchups, hinting that another round with Reigns might not satisfy this desire.

“Well, obviously I love that. But I’ll be honest, maybe a little too honest. I don’t think the fans would like that. Because I’ve had my shot at Roman Reigns many many times. For one reason or another, it didn’t work out. I almost don’t want to even try. Because I don’t think that’s what fans want. They’ve seen it. Fans want new exciting things,” Owens explained.

“I don’t think Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns is something they’re asking for. I don’t … I’m here for the fans. I want people to enjoy what I’m doing. So as much as I wish I could be champion and go for the title again. I don’t think it’s right. So it’s not in my plans,” Kevin Owens said.
