If this truly is “The Kevin Owens Show,” then the first threat of cancellation has come, because Kevin Owens will defend his WWE Universal Title against U.S. Champion Roman Reigns at WWE Roadblock: End of the Line, live Sunday, Dec. 18, on WWE Network.
Mere hours after retaining his U.S. Title at Hell in a Cell, Reigns inferred that his broad shoulders still had room for another title, and that his eye was set on Owens’ prize in particular. Tensions ran high between the two from then on, with Owens and Chris Jericho going so far as to jointly blame Reigns for Team Raw’s loss to SmackDown LIVE at Survivor Series. The Big Dog responded by questioning Owens' abilities as a fighting champion, specifically his reliance on Jericho in his title defenses. A riled-up KO accepted Reigns' offer of a No. 1 Contender's Match the same night and, with Jericho indisposed, fell to Reigns in one-on-one action to make the title match official for Roadblock: End of the Line.
Will The Prizefighter retain his prize? Or is the Roman Empire’s war chest about to grow by one? Find out at WWE Roadblock: End of the Line, live Sunday, Dec. 18, at 8 ET/5 PT, live on WWE Network.
As their rivalry continues to barrel out of control, Seth Rollins and Chris Jericho are set to face off one-on-one at the next Raw-exclusive pay-per-view, Roadblock: End of the Line, on Sunday, Dec. 18.
The hostility between The Architect and the keeper of The List of Jericho has escalated steadily week after week. Barbs like “sparkle crotch” now seem a distant memory given the recent acts of hostility between the two.
Jericho cost Rollins a pivotal WWE Universal Championship Match against Kevin Owens, stymying Rollins’ quest to reclaim the title that he lost under controversial circumstances in the first place. The Architect repaid the intrusion on the Nov. 28 edition of Raw, attacking Jericho in a parking garage and capping off a brutal brawl by Pedigreeing the scarfed Superstar on the roof of a car.
At Roadblock: End of the Line, the former World Champions will settle the score inside the ring. Will “The Gift of Jericho” prove overwhelming for Rollins, or can the dynamic Architect fight his way back toward the WWE Universal Championship? Don’t miss Roadblock: End of the Line, airing live on WWE Network Sunday, Dec. 18, at 8 ET/5 PT.
Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day vs. Cesaro & Sheamus
Cesaro & Sheamus will have another chance to end The New Day’s unprecedented Raw Tag Team Title reign when they challenge the champions this Sunday at Roadblock: End of the Line.
Big E, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods crossed the threshold into the history books this week, breaking Demolition’s record for the longest-reigning tag team champions in WWE history. This Sunday will mark 483 consecutive days since The New Day won the titles in August 2015. To make it this far, The New Day have had to squeeze by challengers on Raw on a weekly basis of late, including two Triple Threat Matches this past Monday — the first of which was a victory against Cesaro & Sheamus and Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson.
Yet, some observers argue that The New Day only retained their titles because they stole the winning fall from The Swiss Superman and The Celtic Warrior, who delivered a powerful performance on Raw.
Making sure not to let another opportunity slip through their fingers, Cesaro & Sheamus became the No. 1 contenders again by winning a Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match on this year’s Tribute to the Troops event. After months of infighting, the makeshift duo has gelled into a unified force, finally becoming the double-tough tandem that Raw General Manager Mick Foley envisioned when he first paired them together.
Can Cesaro & Sheamus reach their full potential as a tag team? Or will The New Day improve upon their already-historic feat and live to see day 484 as the Raw Tag Team Champions?
Find out this Sunday when the two teams do battle at the Raw-exclusive pay-per-view, Roadblock: End of the Line, which airs live at 8 ET/5 PT on the award-winning WWE Network.
