Kevin Owens has a date with Logan Paul at the Royal Rumble.
Kevin Owens defeated Santos Escobar, flanked by his new family of Angel Garza and Humberto Carillo, after a highly competitive matchup with a Stunner. With this victory, he now goes on to face Logan Paul for the WWE United States Championship at the Royal Rumble.
He did not wait until the Royal Rumble to get his hands on Logan, however. Logan was ringside for the match to determine his opponent at the Royal Rumble and after Owens scored the victory, Logan thought he had the right to step up to his challenger. Instead, Owens dropped him with a solid punch with the cast on his broken hand.
It's The #USTitle Tournament FINALS! ----
