As noted, Kevin Owens is officially the new challenger for the Universal Championship against Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble.## Just after Reigns and the WWE Official signed the contract, Pearce declared that he had been waiting all night for Reigns to sign. Then, as he walked up the ramp, he abruptly started to limp as an old knee injury conveniently began to "creep up," one that would deter him from competing against Roman Reigns at the Jan. 31 pay-per-view.## Adam Pearce tricked Roman Reigns saying that he is injured and could not compete at Royal Rumble, As a result, Adam Pearce introduced Kevin Owens as the suitable replacement for Roman Reigns.## Pearce took to Twitter and posted a GIF that shows up a person's hand playing a outsmart move with a masterstroke. It was something that we got to see on SmackDown.## https://t.co/HIjNQlDKfw pic.twitter.com/8NDUaosLsx— Adam Pearce (@ScrapDaddyAP) January 16, 2021 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Updates
