The 39-year-old Owens announced his entry into Saudi Arabia in style. He arrived at the WWE Champions City event and tried his hand at an adventurous activity. It looked like a move straight out of a pro-wrestling match, but this one had no opponents. The sheer height also made it a heart-racing affair.

The former WWE Universal Champion jumped from a great height and splashed the bloated platform beneath. WWE shared the activity on social media and the post attracted comments from fans.

Earlier this month, Roman Reigns snubbed former tag team champions and his cousins Jey and Jimmy Uso, while he announced himself and Sikoa as the challenger for Zayn and Owens. Zayn berated The Tribal Chief during a promo, before being jumped on by The Usos. This set of events has set up an intriguing clash for Zayn and his compatriot at Night of Champions.

Paul Heyman, the Wise Man, visited RAW backstage and struck a deal with the Imperium stable during a recent episode. While the exact nature of their discussion was undisclosed, Imperium was seen distracting the referee later that night and costing the champions their match against The Bloodline.

Come May 27, Imperium might reprise its role in helping the Bloodline. Zayn and Owens should also be wary of The Usos. The twins may have lost their gold but have proved their fealty to The Bloodline repeatedly. Whenever Reigns was in trouble, his twin cousins were there for him. This time, something similar might happen. Overall, the threat for the current champions is multidirectional in Saudi Arabia and Owens might want to make use of the splash to squash some of it.
