Did Kevin Owens defeat Roman Reigns in 2017? Yep. Did he face Goldberg? Yep. Did he betray his best friend in one of the best segments of the year? Yep. Did he win the United States title? Yep. Did he headbutt and frog-splash Vince McMahon? Yep. Did he reunite with Sami Zayn? Yep.

As you can see, all the way from his battle with Reigns at the Royal Rumble to his recent rivalry with SmackDown Live authority figures Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan, the leader of the “Yep Movement” has had a pretty eventful year.

There were a few negatives, most notably when we got to witness in the ‘365’ documentary on the WWE Network that Vince wasn’t a fan of his WrestleMania match with Chris Jericho, but 2017 was still a brilliant year for the former Universal champion.
