One of the most anticipated match of the night was the Men’s Elimination Chamber. With the likes of Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, LA Knight, and Bobby Lashley, this would be an interesting match. With a chance to compete for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL, everyone was ready to give it their all. However, an action by Owens before the match even started got fans comparing him to several legends.
Kevin Owens smashing his face on the pod glass reminded fans of Goldberg and Ric Flair
While Owens was the first to enter his pod, Logan Paul was the last. As Paul entered the ring, he approached Owen’s pod to taunt him. However, Paul was not expecting Owens to start headbutting the pod’s protective glass. After multiple headbutts, Paul walked away, shocked at Ownes’ action. Fans were quick to compare this to what Goldberg and Ric Flair have done in the past.

Back when bleeding was a common part of the WWE, Flair was known for dousing his platinum hair in the red liquid. Goldberg gained attention for his sudden outbursts that would end up hurting himself. Watching Owens smack his head off the glass in the chamber reminded fans of these two icons.
Despite his attempts at intimidation, Paul remained longer than Owens in the match. Paul survived with Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton as the final three within the steel structure. However, he was soon eliminated by Randy Orton.
Fans reaction to Kevin Owens and Logan Paul
As mentioned earlier, Ownes was compared to Goldberg and Flair. While Owens did not bleed, his acts back in the day would’ve led him to see crimson. This is what fans thought would happen as the Chamber is an unforgiving structure. However, nothing of that sort happened through out the match. Even with Paul getting speared through the Chamber pod, there was no blood. Here are the top reactions to Owens’ act.
Goldberg is known to have injured his hand trying to smash a windshield during a promo.
