"Or even better. Stone Cold Steve Austin" - Twitter predicts Kevin Owens' mystery partner against Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn

On this week's episode of WWE SmackDown, Adam Pearce confirmed a huge tag team match featuring Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn for December 30. Fans on Twitter brought out their predictions over who the mystery partner for KO could be.

The Bloodline duo are set to face Kevin Owens and a partner of his choosing. Owens has been a thorn in Reigns' side over the past few weeks after making his intentions clear over challenging The Tribal Chief for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. The match promises to be a huge step in the Reigns vs. Owens rivalry.

The majority of fans claimed that the returning John Cena is likely to be Owens's partner. A couple of Twitter users also predicted that Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Rock could potentially show up to team up with KO against The Tribal Chief and The Honorary Uce.

Many fans also wanted John Cena to be Kevin Owens' mystery partner. Cena's last WWE match on TV was against Reigns back in SummerSlam 2021 when he unsuccessfully challenged for the Universal Championship. Interestingly enough, The Cenation Leader has competed in a match every year for the last 20 years.

With Cena's addition, The Bloodline's rivalry with KO could reach new heights. At Survivor Series WarGames, Sami Zayn and Jey Uso got on the same page to take out the former Universal Champion to secure a big win for Roman Reigns' faction.

It has now been confirmed that John Cena will team up with Kevin Owens against Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn.
