Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns might be entailed in a fiery rivalry on-screen but the former has revealed that off-screen they both still recall their bout from the past.
Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns remember their match from Royal Rumble
During a recent interview with Ryan Droste of ComicBook.com, Owens talked about the match between him and Reigns with the WWE Universal Championship up for grabs in a no disqualification match at Royal Rumble pay-per-view in 2017.
He said:
“I really loved the Royal Rumble (2017) one.It’s funny because Roman and I used to talk a lot more than we do now, obviously. We will talk about that match, even years after. We’d remember little moments from that match, and I’d get a random text once in a while from him saying, ‘Hey remember when you did this in that match?’ Now, it’s like, ‘Remember when you did that?’ We’re just proud of that match, we really had a blast in it.”
He added:
“It’s almost a forgotten match, too, I’d say.Whenever people come across it, they’re like… I’ll see tweets about it once in a while, ‘Hey, I just watched this match. It’s really good. It’s really something people should go (watch).’ We feel the same way. We really had a lot of fun in it.”
