10 Cross-Brand WWE Matches We Must See
7. Kevin Owens Vs. Randy Orton
Kevin Owens is going to be a top level performer in WWE for a long time, but despite only being on the main roster for a year he already seems to have faced everyone. He was drafted surprisingly low last night, being RAW's 11th pick and the 18th overall to go, which seems ridiculous for a man who beat John Cena clean as a whistle in his first match on the main roster.
Looking at the SmackDown roster, there aren't many marquee one-on-one cross-brand matches for KO. He's already faced Dean Ambrose, John Cena and AJ Styles a ton of times, as well as being involved in many matches with The Miz, Dolph Ziggler and Kalisto. Bray Wyatt is an option, and a feud between hyper-real Owens and supernatural Wyatt would be a lot of fun.
One marquee name does stick out from the SmackDown roster however, and that man is Randy Orton. The two have only had one singles match to date, a match that Orton won by disqualification last July on Monday Night RAW.
Without the brand split, this match would most likely have been thrown away once again, a barely promoted match on RAW that ended with Kane or Big Show starting yet another feud with Orton. As it is, it can get a big match feel and a big match build.
