10 WWE Superstars Who Could Take The Universal Title Off Brock Lesnar
7. Kevin Owens
’The Prizefighter’ is on fire at the moment, handing out stunners and delivering blistering promos.
It’s all a bit out of the blue. Since his last run with the big red belt, Kevin Owens has largely played chicken s**t heel or been forced into awkward comedy angles. Then surgery put him on the shelf for an extended period.
After a disappointing, muddled return earlier this year, the last thing we expected for KO was the push he deserves and sorely needs. Now it’s happening fans have been eager to get behind him.
It looks as though he’s set to vanquish Shane McMahon in their current programme. If he succeeds then he’ll be even more popular with the WWE Universe.
WWE should move to capitalise on that momentum. It’s hard to imagine who’d have more fan support behind him against Brock Lesnar.
Besides, by then KO will have beaten ‘The Best In The World’. ‘The Beast Incarnate’ will be quaking in his boots.
