7 Alternatives To Roman Reigns Winning WWE World Title
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?
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
