Alternatively, WWE may finally give fans a rivalry that seemed lost when Kevin Owens showed up on SmackDown last year.

Fresh off demolishing Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 34, Brock Lesnar is likely going to escape with the title at the Greatest Royal Rumble event too. Even if he doesn't, there's still merit to a Lesnar vs. Owens match on pay-per-view, possibly come SummerSlam.

There're so many ways WWE could attack it.

Owens, playing a new role as spirited underdog babyface turned organically by a crowd desperate to see him rally against Paul Heyman's claims he's not in Lesnar's league, would be reinvigorated. Or, traditional babyface/heel dynamics could be tossed in favour of pushing KO's old "Prize Fighter" gimmick.

Title or not, WWE will be onto something provided they make it more competitive than Brock vs. Dean Ambrose was in 2016.
