2. WWE Teasing A Beatdown By Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns Still Being Punished For Wellness Policy Failure
As we saw at Battleground 2016, Sami Zayn defeated Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns was pinned once again as Dean Ambrose retained the WWE Championship.
WWE teasing that Kevin Owens might take his frustrations out of somebody during tonight’s Raw. Below is what WWE.com posted:
“If WWE Battleground was, indeed, the last time Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will ever fight each other, then Owens has to be feeling pretty rotten right about now. The Prizefighter was upended by Zayn in glorious fashion, leaving Sami to claim what he said would be the definitive win in their endless war and leaving Owens to ponder what might have been. The bad news for the rest of the Raw roster (Zayn included, for what it’s worth) is that Owens is never more dangerous than when he has been embarrassed. And make no mistake, he has been embarrassed. Who’s he going to take it out on?”
Word is that Roman Reigns is still being punished for failing the Wellness Policy and that’s the reason behing him getting pinned once again in the main event of a PPV. We noted before that while Roman will remain a top guy on Raw, he won’t be pushed as THE top guy anymore. Below is what Reigns tweeted after his loss at Battleground 2016:
Last night wasn't my night.. No better time to bounce back than on #RAW! New night, new direction. #RomanEmpire

WWE posted on their website that Reigns & Rollins will continue their rivalry on Raw:
“When the dust settled on the former Shield brothers’ Triple Threat Match at WWE Battleground, Dean Ambrose was the last man standing, and The Lunatic Fringe’s WWE Championship is now the exclusive property of SmackDown Live. That leaves Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns bereft of hardware to chase, but with no shortage of animosity left between them, especially since they were in the midst of a heated battle before Ambrose made his move. There’s no chance these two are done with each other, so the only question is where “The Man” and “The Guy” will take their rivalry next.”
