WWE Royal Rumble 2021: 10 Things That Must Happen
6. KO Flashes A Few Middle Fingers
It's been cool to see Kevin Owens morph from slightly-comedic character to all-out 'Stone Cold'-inspired bad ass who takes no sh*t and doesn't mind putting his body on the line. His performances since warring with Roman Reigns have been tremendous, and there's no way that stops come Royal Rumble.
This 'Last Man Standing' match is KO's last stand.
The bout's gimmick plays into his defiant persona brilliantly. Throughout, Owens can refuse to stay down for the 10 count and send Reigns into a rage. How bloody dare someone defy his wishes and jeopardise his WWE kingdom! That'd be how Roman's 'Tribal Chief' gimmick would see KO's rebellion.
It'd be ideal if Kevin flashed a few Austin-esque middle fingers at the Universal Champ too. WWE could capture some shocked facial expressions from Paul Heyman after seeing this; Heyman would be horrified both by Owens' actions and Reigns' ultra-violent response to them.
This needs to be savage.
