So how would you react if KO won tonight?

[Lizuka #BLM]

That seems incredibly unlikely but hey, it's fun to talk about the hypothetical.

I would be extremely confused but also completely okay with it.

[Chiral]

I'd freak the f*** out for this infinite title reign finally being over.

I think even if Reigns won the title back on Friday I'd be like, "Well at least he had six days worth of a setback in there, holy f***."

I love KO and there's actually a lot you could do there


it would be insanely shocking, he could drop it back super quick if needed, could hold onto it and have a Zayn/KO WM title match as a reward for both of them.. I wouldn't hate it. i love me some KO

[Jindrak Mark]

It would probably be the most shocked I've been by a match result since Brock beating Undertaker in 2014.

It has never even crossed my mind that he'd be the person to beat Roman. I thought maybe Edge would do it in 2021. Drew at Clash at the Castle. Cody, Sami or even Rock at this Wrestlemania. KO has never even registered with me as a possibility.

In kayfabe though it shouldn't be a massive shock. KO has dominated and outsmarted the Bloodline in almost every match/segment for the past month or so. He's been booked stronger against them than anyone I can recall during the past 2 years.

[J is Justice]

It'd be a cool surprise but I'd rather Cody or Sami won the titles from him.

[johncasey]

We have all been assuming that Roman is defending the championship at Wrestlemania.

Roman VS Rock or Austin doesn't need to be for a championship.

At the rumble, there could be a referee bump and the bloodline attack and beatdown Owens and that's where Rock or Austin come down and assist Owens

Really doubt it given WWE seems to think, "The less big matches the better, put the belts on the people who will draw without them!" for some reason, though I'd be totally okay with that. Not having the titles involved would at least elevate Roman / Rock or Roman / Austin from, "F*** everything about this," to, "I'm still not remotely interested in this but can tolerate it."

[stoptheclocks]

It'd be awesome. I get that people don't want random hotshotting and swerves for the sake of it... but equally I hate the idea that you need to telegraph who is going to beat Roman to where the eventual match is a foregone conclusion.

Mike Tyson, Anthony Joshua, Ronda Rousey, The Undertaker etc. a great upset can be a moment that lives forever. And open up many other story possibilities.

That, and KO is one of the good guys and no amount of success is more than he deserves.

[Famous Rocking Chimes]

I would just be sitting there mouth open when Brock ended the Streak.

[mc74]

I'd be floored that his reign ended in such a shocking manner, but also overjoyed that the reign is finally over. Adding an air of unpredictability could make for some interesting programming too.

I think the last time WWE did a “surprise upset” booking moment was Goldberg beating Brock at Survivor Series.

[dbrussel]

I would wait for Adam Pearce to come out and restart the match.

[Chiral]

Also man narratively Owens has been through months and months and months of Reigns and the Bloodline putting this dude through shit so like. It'd be nice if he got something to show for fighting on the whole time.

[Killah Ray]

It'd be the same way I felt when Brock beat Taker at Mania 30....

[Lizuka #BLM]

Imagine if Sami screwed Roman over tonight and they revealed this entire time was a gambit on his part for KO to win the belt and the Bloodline are face now.

[Hypnosis]

My jaw would drop in amazement.

[Legion]

I'd be happy that Bloodline is over, but after 10 minutes, I'd be hugely deflated they wasted that on KO.

He's great, but he isn't the guy to end this streak.
