WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 10 Potential Main Events

10. Kevin Owens Vs. Seth Rollins

This match has been done to death since Kevin Owens won the WWE Universal Championship the week after SummerSlam 2016, but it's still possible that the final installment comes at the Royal Rumble.

While it's unlikely to blow the roof off with ticket sales based on the number of events this match has already anchored (Night Of Champions, Hell In A Cell, and Monday Night Raw), this blow-off could serve as the red show's main event and provide a satisfying conclusion for the brand's top babyface.

Should this match get booked, expect Seth Rollins to walk out of the Alamodome as the third-ever WWE Universal Champion. Considering the outcome of all previous Owens/Rollins matches saw Owens escape with the gold, the end result here would need to be different in order to avoid being a letdown.

With that said, it's ranked #10 on this list because there are other, flashier, more headline-grabbing match-ups that WWE could choose to book in attempt to sell out the Alamodome. While we'll work our way through the rest, a third and final (for now) pay-per-view main event match between Seth Rollins and Universal Champ Kevin Owens, perhaps with a gimmick or stipulation attached to give fans reason to believe in the babyface, is a very believable Raw main event for Royal Rumble 2017.
