They're destined to fight forever, aren't they? After their brilliant back-and-forth video on Monday night, this is probably the match I'm looking forward to seeing most, even if I've seen them wrestle each other approximately 645,169 times. Another take on one of wrestling's most enjoyable rivalries is a welcome one.

At this point, Zayn could use a highly-convincing win in order to win over the main show audience, as reactions to him have been strong some weeks, oddly-light in others. A flash pin in the heat of the battle would cast Zayn as resourceful, cunning, and determined against the established Owens. Then, in typecast fashion, Owens loses his cool and rips Zayn to shreds, probably powerbombing him on the apron, a la his first night in NXT. The battle continues at Extreme Rules, because they are, say it with me, destined to fight forever.
