7 Alternatives To Roman Reigns Winning WWE World Title

By John Bills /

4. Kevin Owens

This one might be more personal hope than expectation, but hear me out. Since arriving on the main roster this summer, Kevin Owens has been fairly well protected and extremely well promoted. The guy beat John Cena in his first match, clean in the centre of the ring. No shenanigans, just a finishing move and a three count. Owens has this strange credibility where the viewer believes he can win all the fights he is in, but then he isn't above using shortcuts when they are on offer. The tournament structure plays in his favour here. For example, he can beat Dolph Ziggler clean in the first round (that is why Ziggler is going to be in the tournament, right?), take a shady roll up win over Ambrose in the semi and then full on cheat his way to victory over Reigns in the final. It writes itself. Plus, who doesn't want to see a video of little Owen Steen's reaction to this possibility?
