Ever since making the move to SmackDown, Kevin Owens has been placing a significant emphasis on his singles career.
Set to participate in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match at Elimination Chamber: Perth, The Prizefighter aims to secure an opportunity for Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40.
Owens received an enthusiastic response from the crowd during the press conference for the upcoming premium live event.
During his time on the microphone, Owens made an intriguing comment about Australia’s own Rhea Ripley, stating that Ripley tends to get physical with him whenever the chance arises.
This revelation led to fans questioning the instances when The Judgment Day member had crossed paths with Owens. To provide clarity, there have been two notable instances.
Almost ten months ago, during an episode of RAW, Kevin Owens joined forces with Matt Riddle and Sami Zayn to face off against The Judgment Day. In a moment of chaos outside the ring with the referee’s attention diverted, Ripley seized the opportunity to strike Owens.
Another incident occurred during the defense of Owens and Zayn’s Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship at Payback last year. The match descended into chaos due to interference from other members of The Judgment Day.
While Owens and Zayn managed the situation adeptly, Owens fell victim to a vicious Spear through the barricade from Rhea Ripley.
If Kevin Owens emerges victorious in the 2024 Men’s Elimination Chamber Match, he secures a guaranteed shot at Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40.
However, if he doesn’t prevail, speculation arises about Owens’ next move. Notably, Jake Paul, a popular figure in the realm of YouTube and boxing, expressed a desire to see Owens face Logan Paul at WrestleMania 40.
In an interview, Jake Paul stated,
“I want him to wrestle Kevin Owens. If he wrestles Kevin Owens, that’s his chance to silence the haters.”
Reflecting on Logan Paul’s previous encounter with Owens at the 2024 Royal Rumble, where he won via disqualification, Jake Paul sees an opportunity for redemption and a chance for Logan to address critics.
As the buzz builds around potential matchups, the dynamics leading up to WrestleMania 40 remain uncertain and intriguing.
