Kevin Owens defeated Santos Escobar this week on SmackDown to win the #1 contenders tournament, earning a shot at Logan Paul and the United States Title at the Royal Rumble. Paul was ringside for the match, with Owens punching him out after. This will be the first match ever between the two and the first match officially set for the Royal Rumble. The show takes place on January 27.

Owens is a threat. Check out what is coming for Paul and the title:

Opinion: Given how the feud tournament was set up in the first place, I don’t think this is the biggest shock. The tournament itself never felt in doubt but what matters is giving the fans some good action on the way there. Now we have a title match to look forward to and WWE has done a rather good job with making it feel important. I’m not sure if Owens is going to win the title, but they’ve set things up in the right way.
