This week on Raw Chris Jericho challenged Roman Reigns for the United States Championship, but Jericho didn’t get the win due to interference from Kevin Owens. Following the epic fail by Owens and Jericho on Raw, Roman Reigns took to Twitter to taunt Kevin Owens. He posted the following:
Hell of a fight tonight with @IAmJericho!! Too bad @FightOwensFight screwed it all up for him. #Raw #RelationshipProbs
— Roman Reigns (@WWERomanReigns) December 6, 2016
Kevin Owens used the opportunity to talk trash about not only Roman Reigns, but also his fans who he referred to as idiotic.

The current WWE Universal Champion also went as far as to contemplate quitting Twitter altogether.

After dealing with the replies from Roman Reigns fans for a little while, Kevin Owens decided to get Raw’s authority figures involved, and he’s asking them to take action against Roman Reigns for tagging him in the tweet.

It was noted on a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE officials are currently discussing the possibility of NXT going live on the WWE Network in 2017. Going live would obviously create some issues as far as the logistics are concerned, and it would also cause the production costs to be much higher than they are now with the current NXT taping schedule.
It’s believed that going live with NXT likely wouldn’t have an impact on the WWE Network subscriber count, and it’s not known how serious the discussions are at this time.
