Top 5 reasons why Roman Reigns defeated Kevin Owens three times to retain the Universal Championship 

#2 Three wins allow Roman Reigns to move on

A perfect end to an impressive feud

While the rivalry between Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens certainly had its high points, it was important for the creative to end it at the right time. Three consecutive matches with the same result was the best way for WWE to end this feud. Reigns previously stated that Sunday's match was Kevin Owens’ last chance. By defeating Owens yet again, Reigns should be able to move on.

This storyline featured a brutal TLC Match, a memorable Steel Cage Match, and an eventful Last Man Standing Match. Extending this rivalry beyond the Royal Rumble would have dragged the story out too much. Reigns and Owens did enough to keep fans excited for the three different encounters, but it was time to wrap this program up.

Roman Reigns and Owens are talented performers, but they might have struggled to outperform themselves in a narration that has run its course. Three big victories for "The Tribal Chief" have already served the purpose of cementing Reigns' standing. Now, WWE can close this chapter on the blue brand without compromising either Superstar’s current run.
