The trilogy matches in WWE have always been special and memorable. After having a WrestleMania trilogy with Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns is ready for the same with Kevin Owens.
As announced on the latest episode of SmackDown, ‘The Head of the Table’ will go toe-to-toe with ‘The Prizefighter’ at Royal Rumble. As much as the excitement for this match is high, few fans aren’t happy about the same.

The two top SmackDown stars are ready to deliver one more banger match at Rumble. Previously, Owens and Reigns had matches at the opening PLE of Road to WrestleMania.
In 2017, they had a No-Disqualification match which Owens won after interference from Braun Strowman. Moreover, three years later, in 2021, when Reigns became ‘The Tribal Chief’, they clashed again at the same PLE in a ‘Last Man Standing’ match.

To a surprise, their previous two matches had the Universal Title on the line. The title was exclusive to the RAW brand in 2017 and was exclusive to SmackDown in 2021. Subsequently, this year, as Reigns is the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, they’ll clash for both titles in 2023.
Fans share disappointment as WWE plans Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens for Royal Rumble
The WWE Universe is usually full of excitement for a match that has a huge history. As there is a Royal Rumble history between Reigns and Owens, fans are rooting for their match at Rumble. Moreover, they are even after last week’s SmackDown where Reigns hit Owens in the eye; a receipt for Survivor Series.
However, not all wrestling fans are on the same page for the same. They charged WWE in the comment section on the company’s Twitter post.
It seems there are no opponents for WWE to put up against Reigns.
They ran out of opponents 💀

Will this match at Royal Rumble PLE deliver?
Hopefully there will be another memorable finish, just the last time these two faced each other at a Royal Rumble PPV

However, some fans aren’t happy after WWE announced this match.
Another waste of a world title match for Reigns. He has not had a long list of blockbuster world title matches like he should have with this long reign. Easily could have booked fatal 4 way with McIntyre and Sheamus if they didn’t want the one on one with Sheamus like many hoped.

O here we go, another prediction the ball sack wins with the help of Sami and his cousins…. The big ball sack needs taken out! So sick of ground hog day!

Will the company keep protecting Roman reigns or will it be a real match?

Will they stop a 10 count if Roman is having trouble getting out of handcuffs?
…wait, what am I saying! I could care less about this match!— Doctor Cassini 🏳️🌈 (@swordsmasterguy) January 7, 2023
It think you guys are running out of ideas, the both went for a trilogy if i not forgetting.
Tired of same story line 🤦🏽♂️— Aine Alix 23 (@AineAliz) January 7, 2023
Is this match the plot for The Rock to make his return to confront Roman Reigns?
It's all going according to plan. Now rock comes back to cost roman the title and sami wins the rumble. Sami wins at mania for the fued over who is head of the table after roman beats rock at mania.

The reactions give a hint that fans are on board with the match, but aren’t happy with what the outcome might be.

On the recent SmackDown episode, ‘The Needlemover’ bashed ‘The Honorary Uce’ for last week’s defeat against John Cena and Owens. Even though Reigns apologized to Zayn later, there are speculations of the former Intercontinental Champion may betray ‘The Tribal Chief’.

Zayn and Owens have a long history in the business and the 38-year-old may help his buddy to win the big one. Nevertheless, those are speculations and only time will say what WWE has in their pockets with this match.
