Initially, Pearce announced Uso’s qualification. However, before he walked away, he turned to Reigns and said Owens made the list after his performance against Reigns at Royal Rumble 2021.
This made Reigns angry. However, he couldn’t react harshly considering Pearce is a WWE Official, and he can’t risk any sort of suspension given the events that are lined up.
