WWE SmackDown: 5 finishes to Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens' Steel Cage match

#2. Jey Uso continues to be Kevin Owens' biggest obstacle

Roman Reigns has an insurance policy

Jey Uso has been Roman Reigns' biggest insurance policy since aligning with him again. TLC was the biggest example of that, with Jey Uso constantly squandering Kevin Owens' key opportunities.

Had it not been for Jey Uso, Roman Reigns would likely have lost the Universal Championship. Don't be surprised to see Roman Reigns' cousin continue to play the spoilsport despite the steel cage separating him and the two competitors.

#1. Roman Reigns wins clean

This is a scenario that could play out, and it wouldn't be the worst thing. Roman Reigns is still the biggest full-time star in WWE, and Kevin Owens has a role. That role is for him to help elevate Roman Reigns in his Universal title reign, and it isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The fact that Kevin Owens is facing WWE's biggest star for a World Championship is a better position than most superstars are in the company. Unfortunately, he isn't going to win, but would it be the right decision if he were?

Roman Reigns is having the best run of his singles career, and it simply makes more sense for him to continue his Universal Championship reign.
