Kevin Owens has faced his share of some of the biggest names in the business. From Samoa Joe and John Cena to Goldberg and even a confrontation with Vince McMahon, the former WWE Universal Champion has taken on some of wrestling's best.
In 2017, Owens lost that very title to Goldberg at WWE Fastlane in a stunning 22-second squash. But he didn't get a rematch with the WCW icon. Instead, Owens moved into a feud with Chris Jericho. Goldberg and Owens haven't faced each other since.
Could we see Goldberg vs Owens II?
In a recent interview with Metro UK (H/T to heelbynature.com), Owens was asked about the possibility of another match with Goldberg. "The Prizefighter" seemed open to the possibility with a clear caveat.

"I’d love to work with him again if he was here to work... To me, I don’t see much positive out of wrestling him for two minutes, or 20 seconds or 30 seconds or whatever, you know what I mean? I’d love to work with him again if you... got to do some cool stuff, and some cool promos, exchange back and forth, and then have a quality match, that’d be great. But that’s just not usually what he’s here for."
To be fair, Owens wasn't badmouthing his former rival - it's just that he isn't interested in the type of matches Goldberg does best.
I’m not saying this is his fault, but he’s not – his career has never been about long matches or anything like that... I’m not saying anything against that [style of match], it’s just not what I’m interested in. As a fan, I’ve never been interested in that stuff. Even when he was in WCW, I didn’t really like it. That’s just not what I look for in my wrestling."
In the meantime, Owens has the opportunity to regain the championship he lost to Goldberg. In a highly anticipated match, he will challenge current WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WWE TLC on December 20th.
