Former Universal Champion, Kevin Owens, has not had a great start to his 2017. The leader of the RAW brand lost his best friend and then his championship when he got totally destroyed by Goldberg at last week's Fastlane.
This weekend, Owens had the pleasure of facing off with Goldberg's WrestleMania challenger, Brock Lesnar, at Madison Square Garden. Unlike Goldberg at WWE Fastlanehaving to gain an advantage due to a distraction from Chris Jericho, Lesnar absolutely destroyed Owens, giving him a series of suplexes before finishing him off with an F5. Owens even tried to block one of the suplexes by hanging on the ropes, but he received a rear naked choke, followed by another suplex.
The WWE Live event was a cross promotional bout featuring members from both brands and KO managed to let his wittiness win the day once again.
A match between Owens and Lesnar could have and should have been epic, but as it is WrestleMania season, WWE had to book Lesnar to look as strong as Goldberg did just a week before. Hopefully, Owens will get a chance to have a "real" match with Lesnar after 'Mania, when The Beast is most likely holding the Universal Championship.
