WWE Superstar Kevin Owens has fired a warning shot at Roman Reigns ahead of their upcoming match at Royal Rumble 2023.

The rivalry between KO and Roman Reigns has been going on for a long time. The two will get a chance to settle their differences inside the squared circle at WWE's upcoming premium live event.

KO and Reigns have faced off against each other twice at previous Royal Rumble events, with Reigns coming out on top in 2021 and The Prizefighter emerging victorious in 2017.

Owens highlighted the aforementioned fact during a backstage interview with Cathy Kelley. The former WWE Universal Champion stated that the result of his upcoming bout would be the same as the one in 2017.

"I remember facing Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble twice before. Royal Rumble is kind of our thing. Looks like Roman and I have a thing. Roman, you and I have a thing, buddy. I know that makes you feel special. But this Royal Rumble is going to be different than the previous one. But it's going to be the same as the one before that, because that one I won. You see where I'm going with this? So this one I'm going to win." [0:54 - 1:16]
