Roman Reigns has been tearing apart the blue brand ever since his jaw-dropping return at WWE SummerSlam. He reclaimed the WWE Universal Championship in short order before he cemented his status as "The Tribal Chief." His victory over Drew McIntyre at WWE Survivor Series showed the WWE Universe who the top champion really is.

Kevin Owens is a worthy opponent for Reigns. He's been on fire in recent weeks, as he has been cutting passionate promos left and right. Reigns has seemingly brought "The Prizefighter" side of Owens back out of him. After a few weeks of heated animosity, Owens challenged Reigns for a showdown at WWE TLC, and the champion accepted.

"The Prizefighter" has defeated some of the biggest and baddest names WWE has to offer, so trouncing Reigns isn't out of the realm of possibility. But the odds are stacked against him. It's probable that Reigns has been earmarked to hold the gold at least until WrestleMania 37. Plus, with Jey Uso by his side, he simultaneously edges Owens in the numbers game as well.

The duo has competed before in an excellent No Disqualification match at the 2017 Royal Rumble. With tables, ladders, and chairs at their disposal, Sunday's contest could easily be the best match of the night. As for the result, a Reigns retention seems a lock.

Our Pick: Roman Reigns retains.
