#2 Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens, Last Man Standing match, WWE Universal Championship

After a lengthy rivalry over the WWE Universal Championship that has been going since November 2020, Kevin Owens challenged Roman Reigns to his title once more at this year's Royal Rumble event. The two stars faced off in a Last Man Standing Match.

Originally, WWE Official Adam Pearce was scheduled to take on "The Tribal Chief", but he replaced himself with Owens. At the Royal Rumble, the pair engaged in an all-out brawl, as Reigns and Owens used the whole arena to their advantage.

Throughout the match, the competitors, especially Owens, took some huge bumps. At one point, Reigns threw Owens off the set of the ThunderDome. Owens himself put his body on the line when he jumped off a forklift onto Reigns. In the same match, Reigns mowed down his challenger in a golf cart.

The match ended after Paul Heyman freed Roman Reigns from the handcuffs that Owens used to attach the WWE Universal Champion to a lighting rig. Reigns used a Guillotine Choke on Owens to take him down, leaving him unable to beat the ten count.
