The rumor that WWE SmackDown star Kevin Owens would replace Adam Pearce at the Royal Rumble has been doing the rounds for a while, and hats off to Dave Meltzer for reporting it. There is no doubt at all, honestly, that Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns will be an absolutely fantastic match especially if it happens in a 'Last Man Standing' environment.
But this is the third time we'll be seeing these warriors joust it out in the middle of the ring, and sometimes, you just long for something fresh. The thrill of watching Adam Pearce defying the odds to defeat Roman Reigns was a much stronger peg than just another 'wrestling match'.
But what do Rick and Denise from SK Wrestling have to say about WWE SmackDown? Be sure to click on Smack Talk, our exclusive WWE SmackDown review show to find out their thoughts and views on the program that just transpired. Please leave a comment as well below.
