Kevin Owens didn’t just come up short at the WWE Royal Rumble 2025 pay-per-view event, but he also reached an unfortunate WWE record.
In the penultimate match of the night, Owens lost to Cody Rhodes in a Ladder Match with Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on the line.
As shared by WWE Stats & Info on Twitter, Owens has now challenged for the WWE title ten times without ever winning the gold.
Other names part of this unfortunate club include Nic Nemeth (Dolph Ziggler in WWE) and Don Muraco.
While Owens has never won the WWE Championship, he is a former Universal, NXT, Intercontinental, U.S., and Tag Team Champion.
