WWE Royal Rumble 2021: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best
3. WWE Universal Title - Last Man Standing: Roman Reigns (c) Vs. Kevin Owens
Result: Roman incapacitates Owens for the 10-count to retain the strap (24:54).
Rating: Though hardly the strongest match in Roman's heel run so far, this was a highly entertaining car crash - quite literally with that golf cart spot - which made spectacular use of Tropicana Field.
Despite few expecting an Owens win here, the booking nevertheless sold him as competitive and capable. Both men finding creative ways to escape the 10-count ensured this was a well above-average Last Man Standing match.
It's a shame, them, that the ending was such a sloppy, embarrassing mess, with Heyman failing to unlock the handcuffs for an eternity and the referee just...stopping the count.
Sadly this is probably what many will remember most, despite it being a mostly fun riff on an overdone match type. 7/10
