Universal Title Cage Rematch Set for Christmas SmackDown

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

WWE announced that Owens will take on Roman in a cage match for the Universal title this Friday on SmackDown. On one hand this makes sense as a stip to keep Jey from interfering. On the other hand, WWE cage matches tend to have more interference than almost any other match so it probably won't make a difference. It also feels a little rushed and it's always odd to start a feud with a TLC match and then try to escalate it even further with something like this. It will probably end at the Rumble in the dreaded straight up wrestling match.

He is gonna eat him as his lunch again. Sadly.

Because cage matches always do a great job of stopping outside interference.

Put barbed wire around the top or something.

idk where else this can go without KO being made look even more like a guy who can't get the job done unless they have changed course and KO is going to be the one to win it from Roman at Mania with him losing this match and going onto win the Rumble and then the title.

But if he isn't now penciled in to win the title from Roman then maybe this is how they write KO from the main roster and he gets to go back to NXT.

Roman is going to spear himself through the cage isn't he? >_>

[The Kevstaaa]

It's a good way to have KO lose again but not get pinned. I'm weary because WWE doesn't often do cage matches well but Roman Reigns is on another level so he might be the answer.

Surely a cage will prevent any funny business!

I love how unaware wrestling is of itself. It's cute.

I love how Meltzer joked that this would be the next step of the feud, but it actually IS the next step of the feud

Jesus christ this company, lol

Hey, give them credit: at least they aren't going from a TLC match to a regular one on one match.

You know what, I hope this is a pre-taped match. (And not just so they don't have to work on Christmas Day.)

[Alice Syndrome]

Sounds like time for Uso Splash outta nowhere
