#3 Kevin Owens to feud with Roman Reigns on SmackDown?

Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns had a memorable feud for the Universal Championship. However, it looks like the program between the two might not be completely over yet. While Reigns is set to face Cesaro at WrestleMania Backlash, there is a chance that he may soon resume his rivalry with Kevin Owens.

Speaking on Talking Smack, the former Universal Champion said that if Reigns doesn't lose the Universal Championship to Cesaro or someone else, he will regain it by defeating The Tribal Chief himself.

''If Roman Reigns doesn’t lose the title to Cesaro, and if he doesn’t lose it to someone else before I get to him again, I’m gonna take the title. Don’t forget about me. Don’t make the mistake to think I’m gone because I am not going anywhere,'' said Owens.
