Roman Reigns will defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view in San Antonio, Texas. Reigns is undoubtedly WWE’s biggest draw and has been the top merchandise mover in the post-John Cena era. The Tribal Chief has been on a legendary heel run since 2020 and has smashed quite a few records within this time period. Since 2014, WWE began to establish Roman Reigns as their next face of the company, positioning him as a strong babyface, which was met with intense disapproval by audiences and critics. However, following his return in August 2020, Reigns was repackaged as a new heel character and his new villainous character instantly became a fan favorite. Now the Tribal Chief is set to take on a new landscape to dominate.
