He's beaten him over and over again
Clean as a Sheet mind you.
I think Owens has ONE Pinfall Victory over Reigns and it was incredibly screwy and on a random RAW but I could be remembering RAW
But my god what a shitshow, I hate Reins but I hate him even more when he drags my favorite dudes down...

Since Owens won the belt this is four times Reigns has beaten Owens compared to one Owens won. Yay for faces overcoming no adversity whatsoever!

Once Jericho and Owens do a generic, standard beatdown on him the week before the Rumble though, I'm sure that'll really put some doubt in people's minds about Roman's chances.

It's a good thing at the Rumble Jericho will be in a cage so he can't futilely interfere in his buddy's match like he did tonight.

This seriously can't be leading to Reigns simply winning at the Rumble. I mean they can't possibly job Owens to him repeatedly on TV and then simply job him again on PPV when Jericho is in the cage. Can they? Surely that Reigns/Strowman rumor has to be a U.S. title match at WM and not the Universal title...

Reigns cost Strowman the match next week in revenge, Strowman cost Reigns the title, Reigns enters the Rumble and eliminates Strowman who is about to break Roman's record.

Honestly I'm just wondering how to organically get the belt away from both guys at this point. Reigns is awful, and Owens really is a complete joke at this point who's had his credibility utterly shot and really isn't remotely believable in a Mania title match.
That said I'm pretty much expecting Triple H to end up with the belt to have it pointlessly tied up in his match with Rollins.

Oh and I quote myself from the RAW thread: Why should anyone want to watch the title match, the match where the heel champ should get his comeuppance, when the heel loses every damned match? There is no reason to want to see the babyface win, when the mother f***er never loses. Hogan got killed all the time, Austin was screwed over constantly, Mankind was never supposed to get a chance, Sting had to wait over a year to get at Hogan, and so on. This is why people identify with the heels, they face more adversity than the f***ing babyfaces.

Yeah, I am watching the show it is a part of and I don't really have the ability to jump in and out of the stream. Will I be giving a damn or paying attention? Not likely. These two have zero chemistry and the booking has made it worse. I am watching for the Rumble match itself and some of the rumored/hinted at matches right now.

If we're supposed to be leading up to Owens vs. Jericho (which they've already blown by splitting them up and then "Oh, not really though"), I don't see Owens going into WrestleMania as champion. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll lose to Reigns as I expect Braun-sized interference, but something's going to happen with Owens.

Unfortunately, that's been a modus operandi for a long time. I remember the Christian/Orton feud....Orton won every time, so what was the point of seeing if Christian could overcome the odds?

Reigns is a complete show killer for me. To a lesser degree Seth is the same.
I still watch Raw but it's basically fast-forward through Reigns and Seth until they're gone.

It seems that when the brand split occurred the curse of the Intercontinental title left it as it fled to Smackdown and now lays with the Universal Title. The IC champ actually wins most matches while the Universal Champ is jobbing left, right and centre.

I'm more concerned with watching this matchup EVERY FREAKING WEEK (yeah I don't really, my time is too valuable) WHY DO THEY WRESTLE EACH OTHER EVERY FREAKING WEEK? ?
