The longstanding rivalry between Reigns and Owens spawned an incredible series of brutal Universal Title showdowns over the past few years, including a Steel Cage Match, a Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match, and a Last Man Standing Match.

This year at Royal Rumble KO once again found himself at odds with The Head of the Table and The Bloodline. However, Owens once again wasn't able to steal the gold, but he did get back his friendship with Sami Zayn who was aligned with The Bloodline for a long time.

After the match, Reigns attacked Owens. The Usos gave him the 1D as Reigns put his arm around Zayn. The Usos put a chair over Owens’ head and neck as Solo Sikoa gave him a running hip attack. They handcuffed Owens’ hands to the top rope and the Usos repeatedly superkicked Owens. Reigns grabbed a chair and went to hit a helpless (and already dead) Owens but Zayn stepped in his way. Zayn told Reigns he was already the champion and didn’t need to go that far. Reigns instead offered the chair to Zayn.



Reigns screamed at Zayn to hit Owens. Reigns said he loved Zayn and he was in their family but if he didn’t want to do it, he should “go and do Jackass shit.” Reigns got in Zayn’s face and told him to do it.

Zayn finally did it. He nailed Reigns in the back with the chair. This got a huge pop but it was quelled after Jimmy superkicked Zayn. Solo and Jimmy beat the crap out of Zayn.

The crowd chanted for Jey who just watched. The Bloodline encouraged him to join but instead, Jey walked off. The crowd cheered Jey who walked down the aisle, obviously torn up by his decision. Reigns beat the shit out of Zayn with the chair as the crowd booed. To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
